ADAFRUIT WEEKLY EDITORIAL ROUND-UP


We’ve got so much happening here at Adafruit that it’s not always easy to keep up! Don’t fret, we’ve got you covered. Each week we’ll be posting a handy round-up of what we’ve been up to, ranging from learn guides to blog articles, videos, and more.

Pink Feather RP2040 PCBs Have Landed!

Ooh our delivery from PCBway just showed up, and these pink PCBs are so pretty! We got black silk for a punk look, and ENIG finish since its a 0.4mm chip on there. They even kept the mask-defined pads which means we should be able to keep a good yield. Can’t wait to try fabbing these this week, stay tuned!

Keeping with tradition, we covered quite a bit this past week. Here’s a kinda short nearing medium length list of highlights:

Talking Computer from Star Trek

3D printing and electronics affords us the opportunity to faithfully cosplay the “deep cuts” — supporting or background characters with little screen time that never got a Funko POP! of their own. Everyone has an odd favorite…Willrow Hood from The Empire Strikes Back is now a cosplay staple, eventually earning his own action figure. But most remain obscure.

See the full guide here!
