Psst...this week's EYE ON NPI is no secret, and despite having the word "Pseudo" in the name, it's the Real Deal: This week it's ISSI's Serial and Quad PSRAM chips (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/issi/serial-ram-and-quad-ram-solutions), an excellent addition to your next microcontroller board to quickly boost your RAM stack to megabyte proportions! Microcontrollers have come a long way since 8-bit chips like the ATmega328 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/123). What used to be a luxurious 32 KB of flash memory and 2 KB of SRAM is now nowhere-near-enough storage for handling the big computation requirements we're trying to squeeze into embedded products. It used to be enough to handle some buttons, blink a few LEDs, maybe at best read a sensor and control a motor. Now we need internet connectivity, full graphics support, and machine learning algorithms running on large sensor data sets! As we've seen, microcontrollers have evolved from 8-bit AVR to Cortex M0 to Cortex M4 and even M7 - or if you're a fan of Espressif chips, Tensilica/RISC-V 240 MHz processors. But what you are paying for in a microcontroller is often related to the density and size of the die, and on many processors, the RAM and FLASH can start to take up a dominant amount of die real-estate. SRAM and Flash may also require larger nm 'processes' that are harder to book. As a result, we're seeing chips like the RP2040 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC0914-13/14306010) that have on-chip SRAM but no longer have on-chip Flash memory. Instead, you're expected to pick up a QSPI flash chip and wire it up to the 6-pin interface. By clever usage of on-chip instruction cache, you can get close to on-board FLASH speeds but with the flexibility and size of external memory: it's hard to find a chip with more than 1 MB of internal FLASH but you can easily get 16 MB of external memory like the ISSI IS25WP128 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/issi-integrated-silicon-solution-inc/IS25WP128-JBLE/5431600) for only a couple bucks! OK now you've got plenty of space for your code, but what about RAM? That's where you'll be buffering graphics, storing data to process, or for IoT products, storing large packets of data that may need to be encrypted before sending/receiving. SRAM is also big and kinda expensive, so it's no surprise that many advanced processors these days also support external RAM chips. Now, most folks aware that microprocessors (as opposed to microcontrollers) have required external RAM for quite a long time - but often those used large DRAM chips with 8, 16 or 32-bit parallel interfaces like the IS42 series (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/issi-integrated-silicon-solution-inc/IS42S16400J-7TL/2708623). These of course are not going to work when you only have 32-ish GPIO available. That's where 8-pin PSRAM chips come in - and we're starting to see lots of 'low pin count' microcontrollers support these. For example the iMX RT1062 (https://www.digikey.com/short/0fhbdwv0) used in the Teensy 4.1 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4622) supports PSRAM - check the SOIC-8 footprint on the bottom. Likewise the ESP32 series has wide support for PSRAM, their modules come with 8-SOIC 2MB chips very often. The extra PSRAM comes in handy when doing large IoT projects where you have to buffer an entire image, or JSON structure. Especially over TLS connections that require a lot of RAM to process! Note that while you could use the ISSI PSRAM chips with any processor, thanks to the generic SPI or QSPI interface, you really do want a chip to have 'native' PSRAM support so that the compiler and core will automatically map the PSRAM out so it is accessed transparently to your code. You'll likely need to enable PSRAM support in your toolchain and of course wire it up to the supported QSPI interface pins. Also, sometimes you need to be careful about where some memory goes, like volatile or interrupt-accessed addresses. Sometimes you also have to tell the compiler what ID code or command-set to use, since things like enabling the QEN bit can vary from chip to chip. With a universal pinout and speedy 100MHz clock rate, PSRAM is a fast and easy way to make your micro roomier. If you're not sure which to pick, maybe start with the IS66WVS2M8BLL (https://www.digikey.com/short/29b1dzqf) a 2 MByte / 16 MBit 3.3V-logic SOIC-8 PSRAM chip. If you're ready to add encyclopedic memory in your next design, you are in luck, because the ISSI Serial and Quad PSRAM chips (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/issi/serial-ram-and-quad-ram-solutions) are in stock right now for immediate shipment! Order today and you'll get your chips in hand by tomorrow afternoon.

Like the CLUE board, another one of the boards that has been out of stock for a looooooong time is the Feather nRF52840 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4516) - so many of the components got discontinued or were unavailable on this board it took till now to get enough parts to put it back in stock! The biggest one is the LSM6DS33 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4480) is discontinued, so we replaced it with the LSM6DS3TRC (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4503) - the tester code required some updating so we also swapped it from using a Teensy 3.6, now entirely discontinued, to our Pico Brains. The complete program and test take about 30 seconds. We're excited to restock this prodigal board!

We continue our quest to Pico-ify all our testers, moving away from Teensy 3.6 (they're unavailable) or Raspberry Pi's (good but have the overhead and brittleness of a full Linux computer). This time we're doing the 5303 ESP32-S2 Feather with BME280 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5303) which can run through the full program and test in about 20 seconds. It's going to be slow and steady as we redo them all, but it feels great to invest in our test suite and make it easier and faster for our team to get these boards up and running! The tester brains board is on github here (https://github.com/adafruit/RP2040-Based-Tester-Brains-PCB) and the RP2040 code that does the ESP32's programming is here (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_TestBed) 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/ ----------------------------------------- #adafruit #testing #raspberrypi
This week we're looking to redesign our fancy 'tester brains' that we use for many of our microcontroller boards. We have three flavors of testers, the 'drop and beep' simple ones that use an Arduino / Metro as a base and do basic testing of some I2C sensor, the ones that use a Teensy 3.6 to SWD or ISP program a chip and then do a USB enumeration check, and finally the Raspi ones. We've got plenty of metros, and our stash of Raspi 3's is going fine but we've just about run out of Teensy 3.6's! Since we have a lot of microcontroller boards coming soon we wanted to make sure that we could revise this tester to use an RP2040 - it's definitely fast enough and has enough pins, but we needed to have a bitbang USB host implementation in order to test enumeration and/or communicate over CDC/HID/MSD with TinyUSB. Let's look at what we came up with. The Great Search - SMD USB Type A Host Connector https://www.digikey.com/short/q5208wrn As we're redoing one of our testers to work around a part shortage, we're also trying to SMD-ify the whole thing since we use enough of these its worth it for us to make a short run of maybe 50 boards instead of hand soldering. This tester does a USB enumeration check and so we want a USB Type A connector for the USB host. We've always used the classic THM version of the USB Type A, let's see what's available for SMT at Digi-Key!

We have a tried-and-true microSD card holder (https://www.digikey.com/short/4tmnwh) that we have been using for all our designs, it's a SMT push-pull design that has a lot of source variants, so it's great for everyday usage. We even covered it on a previous Great Search (https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/02/02/the-great-search-micro-sd-card-holder-thegreatsearch-digikey-adafruit-digikey-adafruit/). But now we have to go back and source again - because for our new Raspberry Pico Cowbell add-on plans, we need a much skinner design that will fit between the SMT headers that will keep the Pico attached and we're about 1mm too wide! No problem, we looked around our parts bin to see what some other products we have use one and liked the one on the Teensy boards, which are also pretty skinny - let's source something equivalent and get it loaded it to our CAD software for usage.

Hey everyone! we are back at our desk, its toasty out so we're staying in during the day and cranking out some designs. one project we think we might be able to work on this summer is a de-zombification of the EZ-Link and EZ-Key boards from many years ago. these bluetooth classic boards rocked but suffered from using a really frustrating development and sourcing process. so we're gonna try to 'port' the designs from CSR to ESP32. this week we also started working on some cowbells! we have a proto-'bell done and we tacked it onto a proto pcb order, and we're also starting to work on a TFT 'bell.

In my review of the news today I notice some odd details left out of major headlines: like the latest BLM celebrity who (the headline doesn't mention) was shooting at a mother and her children, or a weird poll about confidence in Kamala Harris that leaves out the opinion of a rather important country. Fun!

What is so preciousAbout the mirror of Mind?You cannot break it!* * *Finally we come to the third and last of the series, the middle-length liturgical poem from Ch'an Buddhism, Hokyo Zammai — Precious Mirror Samadhi by Tozan Ryokai, the founder of Soto Zen in China. Twice as long as Sandokai but only two-thirds of Hsinhsinming, we will have to compact our comments to squeeze it into a reasonably brief segment. So, jumping right in:The Dharma of thusness is intimately transmitted by buddhas and ancestorsNow you have it; preserve it wellWe can find sameness in the differing first lines, “The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences,” and especially “The mind of the great sage of India is intimately transmitted from the West to the East.” Preserving it well may have been more of an issue in the 800s than in the 600s and 700s. It is still an issue today. But are you sure that you really have it?A silver bowl filled with snow; a heron hidden in the moonTaken as similar they are not the sameNot distinguished their places are knownAgain, I come down on the side of interpreting these compelling images as derived from direct experience, rather than abstract references to symbolism. The change in awareness and apprehension of nondual reality that come about through zazen may not be an object of perception, as Master Dogen reminds us, but it changes perception itself. That is, we recover our original mind, before we distorted it with delusional interpretation of experience. The difference, however, is so subtle as to be nearly indistinguishable, like the whiteness of the snow and the silver bowl, or the heron and the moon. Their separate places are known precisely when they are seen as inseparable.The meaning does not reside in the words, but a pivotal moment brings it forthA “pivotal moment” is experienced, not conceptually grasped through words, however eloquent.Move and you are trapped; miss and you fall into doubt and vacillationMoving toward it is a move away from it. Or, like the rainbow, causes it to recede ever further away. If you miss this simple point, you find yourself in doubt and vacillation. But the condition is not terminal.Turning away and touching are both wrong for it is like a massive fireIt is burning, burning, burning, as Buddha taught. Like the sinner-man on the day of judgment, there is no escape. Everywhere you turn, there it is. But you cannot touch it, without getting burnt. It can, and will, touch you, however. The familiar nimbus, the flaming “halo” of Buddhist iconography, illustrates this. The increasing frequency and intensity of forest fires are manifesting it globally.Just to portray it in literary form is to stain it with defilementActually it cannot be stained, and it cannot be reduced to defilement. But you can make this mistake. Nonetheless, you must say something, if you are to encourage others to practice Zen.In darkest night it is perfectly clear; in the light of dawn it is hiddenRecalling Master Kisen's darkness in light and light in darkness, it is more apparent when we are not overwhelmed with light and sound. This is why practice places are tuned to moderate levels of stimulus.It is a standard for all things; its use removes sufferingThere is nothing against which it can be measured. All the measurables we can come up with are arbitrary, against its immeasurable, all-penetrating clarity. Its use enables us to discern the difference between natural and intentional suffering, the former being built-in, the latter being unnecessary. In which case, even natural suffering is found to be no longer unbearable.Although it is not constructed it is not beyond wordsWords can point to it, but point to everything that is not it. It is the source of language, though as Master Sosan assures us, it is ultimately beyond language. Our consciousness is independent of language. Originally, consciousness is not constructed. It takes time and some work to do that. It will take some time and work to undo it.Like facing a precious mirror, form and reflection behold each otherWhat is so precious about this mirror? Ordinary mirrors were surely precious in Master Tozan's time, being handmade, but there is something extraordinarily precious about this Zen mirror. “Form and reflection” beholding “each other” is as close to a description of the nonduality of human consciousness as may be found. Each, taken together, is clearly not “other,” but not-two, to borrow from Master Sosan. You are not it, but in truth it is youLest there still be confusion about self and other, form and reflection — and which is the subset of which — he kindly slaps you in the face with it. Otherwise, it is the wave, thinking that it is the ocean.Like a newborn child, it is fully endowed with five aspectsA reminder that even a newborn child is as close to this truth as the most aged sage. The endowment? Aggregation of form, feeling, thought, impulse and consciousness. No sentient being excepted.No going no coming no arising no abidingThe “unborn mind,” sometimes called the “uncreate.” Because it is unconstructed, it has no definable beginning or ending point. It does not begin with birth, does not end with death. While it appears to arise, abide, change and decay, it is only permanence that can apprehend impermanence. It is change.“Baba wawa” is anything said or not?In the end it says nothing for the words are not yet rightLike the newborn child, it is incoherent when it comes to expressing its truth. Long before language is acquired, the full expression of reality obtains. It does not rely on our knowing it, or on what we do or say. Matsuoka Roshi used to say, “You can talk all day and never make them understand.”In the hexagram “double fire” when main and subsidiary lines are transposedpiled up they become three, the permutations make fivelike the taste of the five-flavored herb, like the five-pronged vajraNo comment. I would have to study the I Ching to offer a credible interpretation. The five-flavored herb I take to mean all five basic flavors in one magical herb. Zen is tasteless, but nutritious, like water. The vajra is the thunderbolt, so one suspects this indicates some powerful mojo. The power of true self.Wondrously embraced within the complete, drumming and singing begin togetherDrumming and singing, again, probably have some traditional interpretation. I leave that to others. I take the drumming to be the initial pulse, the heartbeat, the vibrancy and thrum of inchoate life itself. The singing then would indicate the conscious celebration of life, which finds its beginning in drumming, but manifests later, in the full awareness of consciousness. They are of the same source, but different.Penetrate the source and travel the pathwaysembrace the territory and treasure the roadsThis source is to be penetrated in the inmost consciousness, the seat of existence itself. The pathways are those blazed by our forefathers, both in the everyday sense of society's history, and the particular directions established by our Zen ancestors. As Matsuoka Roshi would say, “The Zen person has no problem following the sidewalks.” The maps handed down to us are not the territory, as the saying goes, but we can treasure the roads, both internal and external, that lead to our original, true home.You would do well to respect this; do not neglect itNatural and wondrous, it is not a matter of delusion or enlightenmentWithin causes and conditions, time and season, it is serene and illuminatingCynics and skeptics abound, both today and in ancient times. It is difficult to accept that our birthright is so immediately accessible through so simple a method as just sitting still enough, long enough. But if we neglect this approach, in favor of the more intriguing and entertaining on offer, we may regret it. It is natural and wondrous, not artificial and ultimately disappointing. But the wonder of it is that it has nothing to do with delusion and enlightenment, other than sorting out our own delusion regarding enlightenment. No matter what the causes and conditions of this particular existence, no matter what season of the year, or of this life, we can return to this source, which is always there, serenely illuminating the reality of nonduality.So minute it enters where there is no gap; so vast it transcends dimensionA hairsbreadth deviation, and you are out of tuneAgain the measurables, the metrics, as we say today. Teensy-tiny beyond imagining, penetrating everywhere, inseparable from the all-encompassing, and in these days they did not have electron microscopes, or the Hubble telescope. But — and this is a big but — if you deviate even a hairsbreadth, which is pretty small, you get static. Like the old-timey analog radio dial. You have to be tuned in exactly. Zazen is your tuning fork.Now there are sudden and gradual in which teachings and approaches ariseWith teachings and approaches distinguished each has its standardWhether teachings and approaches are mastered or not, reality constantly flowsHuineng had done his thing by now, so the so-called sudden and gradual schools were a thing. Various teachings and approaches had arisen throughout history, so these were just the poster-boys at present. Once we stray from the natural and wondrous, we have the corporate standards in their place. But no matter how thoroughly we master them, and please their masters, it doesn't change a thing. What they are pointing to is, and was, flowing in front of your face, all along. And behind your face, as well.Outside still and inside trembling like tethered colts or cowering ratsthe ancients grieved for them and offered them the DharmaLed by their inverted views they take black for whiteWhen inverted thinking stops the affirming mind naturally accordsYou can spend the rest of your life as if you are actually sitting in zazen, or shikantaza, on the cushion, when you are not. Tethered to the practice out of fear, or other unworthy and/or mistaken motives, true masters see your suffering and try to help you overcome your ignorance. The monkey mind can believe that black is white, and vice-versa. As Matsuoka Roshi also said, “Some people can talk themselves out of existence.” But there is a natural way out of this dilemma. Let the monkey lie down, and take a nap. Voila!If you want to follow in the ancient tracks, please observe the sages of the pastOne on the verge of realizing the buddha way contemplated a tree for ten kalpasLike a battle-scarred tiger; like a horse with shanks gone greyTo want to follow in the ancient tracks, of course, implies that one already has some idea of where they purport to lead. We can no longer actually observe most of the ancient sages, of course, as they were not recorded for posterity in any medium other than their imputed, spoken words, and then much more than secondhand once written down. However, we trust the record to the degree that it can yield guidance concerning blind alleys and dead-ends to avoid. One of these is looking for the quick fix. This sage, reputed to be Shakyamuni, perhaps in a former lifetime, contemplated a tree for a long, long time. Endless lifetimes, in fact. The tree itself would have to be ancient, of course, much older than a horse with shanks gone grey. Maybe a redwood. But contemplation was apparently not all serene and blissful. Else, whence come the tiger's battle scars? Been there, done that — seen it all, somehow survived.Because some are vulgar, jeweled tables and ornate robesBecause others are wide-eyed, cats and white oxenBack to the quality of student we might expect, these days. Some are impressed by outer pomp and circumstance. But a robe can also hide a lot of sins. “Wrapping ourselves in Buddha's teachings,” as we chant when donning the robe, is already true, in your birthday suit. But in either case, you do not necessarily truly know it, becoming “wide-eyed.” “Cats and white oxen” are two answers to the popular question, “What kind of animal would you want to be?” As opposed to monkeys and wayward oxen, they represent the realization of true Dharma, which may be wild and natural, but also tamable.With his archer's skill Yi hit the mark at a hundred pacesBut when arrows meet head-on how could it be a matter of skill?Whether arrows meeting head-on was a common trope of the times, or an unattributed sampling of Sekito Kisen's original coinage of a century before, we will leave to the scholars. Yi apparently was an archer famous for his skill, but arrow points coming together — e.g. form and emptiness — is none of our doing. We must go beyond doing, to the point of non-doing, for nonduality to become clear.The wooden man starts to sing; the stone woman gets up dancingIf it — the insight that Zen points to — does become apparent, we are told, even insentient, inanimate objects begin preaching and illustrating the living Dharma. Matsuoka Roshi said, “That stone in the garden is alive!” The world comes to life with this insight, including our own life, the “roar of a lion in a hollow tree.” Like waking from a dream that seems real, as in the old standard. We have to hollow out the tree, however.It is not reached by feelings or consciousness; how could it involve deliberation?It bears repeating, again, that this awakening is birthed in shikantaza, “objectless meditation” — which seems an oxymoron. How can there be meditation, if there is no object? How can there be a subject, if there is no object for the subject to reflect? In form and reflection beholding each other, there is no room for anything else, such as an observer. No observer, no feelings. No feelings, no consciousness, as such. Deliberation outlived its utility long before, jettisoned with all the other excess baggage.Ministers serve their lords; children obey their parentsNot obeying is not filial; failure to serve is no helpA nod to Confucianism, but now in the context of personal liberation, liberation from all the above. It does not help to willfully avoid the sidewalks, trampling on the lawns and flower beds. One cannot be a minister, or even a son or daughter, in name only. Both parent and child must function as such, or give up the claim to filial piety, with all that that would entail in a Confucian society. If ministers do not serve their lords, they better have a really good reason. Simply failing to serve helps no one. We all serve one lord or another.With practice hidden, function secretly like a fool, like an idiotJust to continue in this way is called the host within the hostIf we make a big deal of our practice, showing up fully robed at inappropriate times and places, for instance, or making a show of our understanding of Zen in conversations about other issues, we are not understanding the natural and wondrous nature of Zen. Everyone is already practicing Zen, whether they know it or not, for Zen isn't anything in itself. It is simply the living out of life in the most conscious way possible. Functioning secretly, with regard to Zen, we are more likely to have a positive influence on others.A fool, or an idiot, here, simply means someone who does not care what impression is made upon others, and largely lives outside the mainstream of cultural norms and memes regarding fame and fortune, reputation, and so on. In doing so, one manifests the innermost, most intimate understanding — the host within the host — which naturally informs all interactions with the guest, any guest, whether the inner chattering monkey, or transactions with others in the normal course of events.Skillful or expedient means stem most naturally, and wholesomely, from the inner sanctum of the true self, where it is clear that there is “neither self nor other-than-self,” in this not-two road to nonduality. You cannot tell a book by its cover. So, no need to go changing our dust jacket to impress others.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

While we are still on the road, and the horses are headed for the barn, get a little sip of our month long road trip.
This week's EYE ON NPI is hittin' the books - we're featuring the Digi-Key Electronics Innovation Handbook (https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/innovation-handbook) this week - which was just released so it's very New and Fresh. We just got ours in the mail! The Digi-Key Innovation Handbook is your guide to keeping some of the most highly referenced content from Digi-Key at your fingertips while giving you plenty of room to keep your thoughts, projects, and ideas at hand. We highlight concepts, formulas, components and electronic staples so you can refer to them at any time. From reference tables and schematic symbols to resistors through Raspberry Pi's the Innovation Handbook is the first place to look for all your project needs. It also includes over 120 grid-lined note pages for you to use any way you see fit. Of course, we couldn't fit it all in the book so below you will find additional information to go more in-depth into each of the topics included in the printed edition. This book is reminiscent of the Maker Notebook that Make Magazine released many years ago (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/o-reilly-media/9781680456639/13625835). Its still a great notebook, and has a hard cover which we love - so you have reason to buy both! The Innovation Notebook has some overlapping information, but is much more up to date. For example, it's got modern board pinouts like Feather, Teensy and Raspberry Pi. There's even the new RP2040 Pico! The resistor diagram is in full color (which really helps since the number bands are rainbowy). There's also a lot of reference parts - so if you just need "a servo" or "an SMD red LED" there's part numbers ready to go for you to reference. I'm a huge fan of that because there's definitely the most popular of each part, and for many makers and beginners, they should just get that part rather than spending a lot of time in the Digi-Key search system. In the front, there's 40 pages of references and diagrams, and then there's 120 gridded pages, so it's definitely designed to be a scientific/design notebook, not just a technical reference. Right now it's V1.0 of the book, and there's probably a lot more stuff that they could add or improve. Please feel free to send comments, thoughts and future recommendations to support@maker.io to help make sure the next edition is even better. This notebook makes for an excellent gift for any student or maker, and at a great price. If you've got a cart going at Digi-Key, you can add one of these in - there's hundreds of Innovation Notebooks in stock right now (https://www.digikey.com/short/mf58fmj8) and at least books aren't impacted by the component shortage! If you want to check out the PDFs or other engineering resources, visit https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/innovation-handbook for online tools, calculators, printouts and more.
We just wrapped up the NeoKey Trinkey tester, which uses a Teensy to program the SAMD21 processor and then test the USB interface. It's a simple USB A pluggy-board with a cherry MX-compatible footprint (can use Kailh, Gateron etc!) with underlit NeoPixel and one capacitive touch pad. Simple and fun, its your new best friend! Great for adding ESC keys to old macbooks. #comingsoon #adafruit #trinkey 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/ -----------------------------------------
Ooh we're fabbing QT Py RP2040 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4900 as fast as possible, folks love these adorable boards. With an RP2040 chip plus 8MB flash plus QT connector plus NeoPixel and two buttons...what is not to love? We want to get these tested as fast as possible, so we're using the Teensy 3.6 as a mass storage host, it 'drag's the UF2 over to the drive which then performs the self test. Voila, 2 seconds later we have the Neo glowin' and the board is ready to ship out. #adafruit #teensy #rp2040 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/ -----------------------------------------

We want to make lots of Feather RP2040s, so we can ship them to all the folks who are wanting them - so its important for us to make the test procedure super fast and simple. Thanks to Thach's intrepid work with USB, we can now use the Teensy 3.6's USB host support to 'drag and drop' a UF2 file over the USB interface to program it. At 100 KB/s, we can load our test program, verify all the hardware, and load a demo program all in under 2.5 seconds. When you're making thousands of these boards, that time adds up so this will let us get you hardware faster! https://www.adafruit.com/product/4884 https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Feather-RP2040-PCB/tree/main/feather_test #adafruit #raspberrypi #teensy 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/ -----------------------------------------

Charlie Morris, ZL2CTM, builds his QRP rigs, the old fashioned way, starting with a paper and pencil, combining basic components to make each stage of a receiver or transceiver. Once the radio is made, he adds an Arduino micro-controller, touch screen, and other advanced components to bring his masterpiece into the 21st century. Charlie is a prolific creator of You-Tube videos to document and demonstrate his creations. ZL2CTM is my QSO Today.

Scott and Artur have done an amazing job bringing CircuitPython to the NXP iMX RT1062, this chip holds a lot of promise! I threw together a quick IoT project to test I2C and SPI - the OLED is an I2C device, and the AirLift Featherwing provides WiFi over SPI. This demo connects to my AP, then queries the adafruit quote service to get an inspirational quote every 3 seconds. The JSON is parsed, split, and displayed on the OLED by scrolling. Was really fast to put together, only about 20 minutes and 100 lines of code.

Mike Szczys and Kerry Scharfglass recorded this week's podcast live from DEF CON. Among the many topics of discussion, we explore some of the more interesting ways to move a robot. From BB-8 to Holonomic Drives, Kerry's hoping to have a proof of concept in time for Supercon. Are you using On-Chip Debugging with your projects? Neither are we, but maybe we should. The same goes for dynamic memory allocation; but when you have overpowered micros like the chip on the Teensy 4.0, why do you need to? We close this week's show with a few interviews with badge makers who rolled out a few hundred of their design and encountered manufacturing problems along the way. It wouldn't be engineering without problems to solve. Show Notes: https://hackaday.com/?p=372073

First off, let’s properly acknowledge the legends, Aretha Franklin, Neil Simon, and John McCain. RIP to you all. This week, in a rather slow news week, the fellas discussed mental health and taking time to invest in the business of YOU. We talk NFL contracts and who breaks the bank, California one of the few leading the pack with the abolishment of the cash bail bonds - and the scam that it is, the sheer disrespect that Serena Williams has recently received and her dominance of the sport and much more. Thank you to the listeners and subscribers. Follow us on Instagram: @goodriddancepod

The BITX40 is a $60 Arduino controlled 7 watt QRP SSB 40 meter transceiver designed and built by Ashar Farhan VU2ESE. They are available as a “kit” from http://www.hfsigs.com/ . The assembly only involves soldering wires for things like speakers, power, and microphones and also finding a suitable case. We originally spoke about the BITX40 back in Episode 26 (http://hamradio360.com/index.php/2017/06/20/ham-radio-360-workbench-26-the-bitx40-transceiver-an-introduction/) Mark “Smitty” Smith KR6ZY is back with us again to share with us the modifications and upgrades he’s made to the original BITX40 over the summer. In this episode, we discuss adding upper sideband capabilities, adding an IF shift, and even multibanding the radio! Smitty shares lots of great resources and ideas in this episode of the Workbench. Smitty KR6ZY can be found online on twitter @smittyhalibut (https://twitter.com/smittyhalibut) and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/user/SmittyHalibut Cale K4CDN is taking a much deserved break for the rest of the year! - http://hamradio360.com/index.php/2017/09/19/ham-radio-360-lessons-from-irma-and-my-vacation/ Workbench Autodesk Eagle board layout tutorial with KF7IJZ, KJ6VU, W6KWF, and KR6ZY - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYoorqf2llE OSHPark Board Manufacturer - https://oshpark.com/ ESP01 / ESP8266 http://www.instructables.com/id/Getting-Started-With-the-ESP8266-ESP-01/ https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13678 ESP Libraries Source https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino Arduino IDE - https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software ESP8266 in Arduino - https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/esp8266-thing-hookup-guide/installing-the-esp8266-arduino-addon Teensy - https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/ ARRL HF Data Rates - http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-files-symbol-rate-petition-with-fcc Hardware random number generator - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number_generator RTL-SDR v3 with Direct Sampling - https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-blog-v-3-dongles-user-guide/ QRP Labs Filter Kits https://www.qrp-labs.com LPFs: https://www.qrp-labs.com/lpfkit.html BPFs: https://www.qrp-labs.com/bpfkit.html HF BPF 10-band Set - http://shop.qrp-labs.com/BPFSET D-STAR QSO Party - https://www.icom.co.jp/world/dqp/ Silicon Dust HDHomeRun OTA TV to IP Box - https://www.silicondust.com/ Smitty’s BITX40 Intro Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ESph5JCOpw BITX40 Mods Groups.io - https://groups.io/g/BITX20 BitX Hacks - http://bitxhacks.blogspot.com/ Raduino Software - https://groups.io/g/BITX20/wiki/Raduino-Topics Allard’s Software - https://groups.io/g/BITX20/wiki/Allard%27s-Raduino-Code Software upgrades https://github.com/amunters/bitx40/ Make it do CW http://bitxhacks.blogspot.com/2017/03/nd6t-bitx-cw-update.html http://bitxhacks.blogspot.com/2017/02/putting-bitx-raduino-on-cw.html USB and LSB (for digital) - https://groups.io/g/BITX20/wiki/USB-LSB-operation Front panel and case - https://www.banggood.com/Electronic-Plastic-Shell-Cartridge-Handle-Project-Case-Desk-Instrument-200x175x70mm-p-1035473.html?rmmds=myorder Optical/Rotary Encoder Tuning - https://groups.io/g/BITX20/topic/mouse_encoder/5553536?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Relevance,,mouse,20,2,0,5553536 Dr. Jack Purdum W8TEE VFO TFT - https://groups.io/g/BITX20/topic/5116056 AGC Board - http://kv4qb.blogspot.com/2016/11/bitx-40p-building-part-1.html SteppIR Urban Beam - http://www.steppir.com/UrbanBeam
https://blog.adafruit.com/2017/08/01/the-atsamd51-is-here-adafruit-microchipmakes-atsamd51/ Wow some awesome release news from Microchip about a fancy new chip that just dropped. If you know us (and you’re reading this blog so yeah you probably do) you know we just luuuuv the ATSAMD21 – featured in our M0 Feathers, Metro M0 and even the new Gemma M0 we just put in the shop. The ATSAMD21 has always felt to us like the next evolution for fans of the 8-bit AVRs like the ATmega and ATtiny series – with 256 KB of flash, 32 KB of RAM, 48 MHz Cortex M0+ chipset, USB, tons of timers, peripherals, ADC, DAC, up to 6 SPI/I2C/UART devices… using the SAMD21 feels so roomy and comfortable. Adafruit 2132 One of the most fun projects we’ve had over the last year is porting MicroPython to the ATSAMD21 (which we call CircuitPython since the API deviated a bit). Now, MicroPython works just fine on the SAMD21 and you can build many projects quickly, using the built in Python 3 interpretter. And while we absolutely adore it, it’s just a *little bit* sluggish on the ATSAMD21 as its only a Cortex M0 at 48MHz, and doesn’t have any hardware floating point support. And 32KB of RAM is huge for Arduino but CircuitPython can run out of memory if you’re doing a lot. As we started exploring CircuitPython more and more it became clear we could really use an upgrade path. So we asked Microchip “heyyyy so is there like an upgrade to the atsamd21 that’s maybe a cortex m3 or m4, with more RAM and maybe 100 MHz?” and they were all like “maaaybeeee….plz sign this NDA” and we were like “sweet!” and we got a bunch of ATSAMD51 chips and a datasheet! You can check out the no-longer-sekret datasheet here (PDF). The ATSAMD51 is to the ATSAMD21 as it was in turn to the ATMega328. More! Better! Faster! Here are some quick specs: Cortex M4 core running at 120 MHz Hardware DSP and floating point support Up to 1 MByte flash, 192 KB RAM Sizes ranging from 48-QFN to 128-TQFP (the 48 QFN is *nearly* pin compatible with the ATSAMD21 but it isnt 100% drop in compatible) Some neat new peripherals/upgrades: Built in 1.8V buck for lower power uses (needs an external inductor) Dual 1MSPS DAC Dual 1MSPS ADC Parallel capture controller (for camera/video in) Built in crypto engines with AES (256 bit), true RNG, Pubkey controller Ethernet MAC on the SAME5 series QSPI for fast SPI transfers CAN Bus SD/MMC controller “configurable custom logic” – this one is particularly interesting/weird, you get latches and LUT you can link up PDEC – rotary encoder hardware support The speed, and extra space makes it excellent for our next generation of CircuitPython boards, and the price is pretty good too – only about $3 each for the ATSAMD51G19 in reel qty. Considering its the same list price as an ATmega32u4 it’s an easy choice for us! We also like that the pricing is so competitive with other Cortex M4 suppliers, e.g. STM32F405RGT6 is ~$6.50/1K pcs and the similar ATSAMD51J20A is $3.70 (the STM is faster, the SAM has more RAM, it was hard to find a perfect 1:1 comparison) compared to the Kinetis K20 series (famous for being used in the Teensy 3.2) the MK20DX256 has 25% of the Flash size, 25% as much RAM, 60% of the speed, but costs $1-1.25 more. Competition is heating up! Ambahlahdolnogpf Any how, the Atmel ATSAMD51 series looks really awesome to me, and its now public and you can order some chips even from microchip direct. Some chips are in stock now, such as the ATSAMD51N20A-AU, ATSAMD51P19A-AU, others will be shipping in late October. We’ve already started designing a Feather M4 and Metro M4 and we’ve even gotten it going with Arduino core with some tweaks to the current SAMD core. Img 7279 Excited to try out this chip? We don’t have hardware for sale quite yet (and likely won’t until chips are shipping in larger qty in November) but if you have early hardware access for some reason you can check out our forked Arduino SAMD codebase at https://github.com/adafruit/ArduinoCore-samd/tree/samd51 for our latest code – full 120MHz clocking, GPIO, ADC, DAC, I2C/SPI/UART, USB all basically work but there’s a few tweaks and bugfixes still. The BOSSA bootloader working here: https://github.com/adafruit/ArduinoCore-samd/tree/samd51/bootloaders/x1 and the software bootloader tool here: https://github.com/adafruit/BOSSA_x1/tree/arduino We hope to get these all merged into mainline soon, and also a CircuitPython port that can take advantage of the awesome power that can be unleashed! ----------------------------------------- Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe Join our weekly Show & Tell on G+ Hangouts On Air: http://adafru.it/showtell Watch our latest project videos: http://adafru.it/latest New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ Music by bartlebeats: http://soundcloud.com/bartlebeats -----------------------------------------
James Cameron of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) tells us about Forth, science fiction, and laptops. We have some tickets for ARM's mbed Connect conference is Oct 24, 2016 in Santa Clara. Will you be in the area? Want to go? Contact us if you want one of our free tickets! (There are still some tickets remaining.) One Laptop Per Child is one.laptop.org. Some getting started information on Forth: Mitch Bradley's Forth and Open Firmware Lessons James has been writing about putting C Forth on a Teensy (more on the Teensy from the creator's site). He also has a post on using Forth to snoop the Milo Champions Band's BLE. James is Quozl on most sites that require a unique ID (such as Github: https://github.com/quozl). This is from a book called Quozl by Alan Dean Foster. The other older-sci-fi reference was to the Pern books by Anne McCaffery, specifically to the White Dragon.

Happy episode 37 everyone! H.A. and Stuart returned to Zombieland and felt ... a little let down, honestly. It was a surprise to everyone! Could the TV pilot have soured us to this admittedly well-made and enjoyable film?
