The Desk of Ladyada - ESP32-S2 TFT Feather feat. Mini Modules
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
Last week we wrapped up the ESP32-S2 feather, and they're in the shop now. We made two versions, one with and one without a BME280 enviro sensor. Next up we'll do take 2 of this board, the TFT Feather - we've tested Arduino on it so now its time for CircuitPython. Our first attempt at the board definition has slow TFT redraw for bitmaps but we can fix it! Next we're adding some low power tweaks to make folks who want to have small quiescent power happy. There's also a new ESP32-S3 mini module engineering sample available, this chip is going to be the next big release from ESP and it has some nice improvements over the 'S2 The Great Search - LED Driver N-Channel MOSFET replacement https://www.digikey.com/short/qtj8zd4n Silicon shortages have been famous for the STM32 and ASIC droughts, but even simple mosfets have been harder and harder to find. For our prop featherwing we use 3 high current FETs to drive a 3~9W LED, and what used to be a near-jellybean part now needs a replacement! #adafruit #deskofladyada #thegreatsearch Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------
