The Great Search: Resistive touch screen driver replacement for STMPE610/STMPE811 #TheGreatSearch #DigiKey @DigiKey @Adafruit
The Great Search (video) is a new series of videos focused on searching the Digi-Key catalog to narrow down to the parts you want to buy. This week:
Like many great parts, our go-to resistive touch controller chip, the STMPE family, has finally gone completely EOL – we are no longer able to source this part. Time to find a replacement! Let’s find one with good pricing and Linux Kernel compatibility. Will we be able to find one that is both I2C and SPI? Tune into The Great Search to find what we picked out for sampling!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
