The Desk of Ladyada -Stemma Sunday! MMC5603 breakout and code + Co-Pilot for libraries?
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
This weekend we finally got back round to assembling/testing/coding up libraries for the LIS3MDL-replacement we found a few months ago: the MMC5603 https://blog.adafruit.com/2022/03/21/a-magnetometer-that-you-can-purchase/ We'll be using this in our replacement/updates for the Feather Sense and CLUE board. We also got a whole mess o prototype PCBs in, we can show them off. Finally, we're tuning and tweaking our workflow for how we do library development, and we look at maybe checking out github copilot for coding and openai for documention. The Great Search - Identifying the RGB Matrix Power Connector https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1744036-4/2299265 Here's one by request! A customer posted on the Adafruit forums asking what is the matching connector for our RGB matrix power ports https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=192484 We googled real fast but did not find a definitive answer, and this kinda thing comes up pretty often - how to find the part number for a generic cable you received in a product) so let's go through how to use Digi-Key's great search and product photos to find the most likely match!
