NEW PRODUCTS THIS WEEK


5V 1.2W Solar Panel – ETFE – Voltaic P124: These panels come to us from Voltaic Systems, makers of fine solar-powered bags and packs. These are waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV resistant, and they use 10 high-efficiency monocrystalline SunPower cells with 22+% efficiency (praise the sun!). Each cell has a nominal voltage of 0.5V so we call this a “5V” panel

They output a nominal 5V at a 1,670mA peak via a 3.5mm x 1.1mm DC jack connector. The panel is constructed with ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene), making it extremely durable and resistant to environmental elements, a superior upgrade to PET or laminate solar panel construction. They can easily stand up to typical outdoor use, including being dropped and leaned on.

5V 5W Solar Panel – ETFE – Voltaic P105: These panels come to us from Voltaic Systems, makers of fine solar-powered bags and packs. These are waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV resistant, and they use 10 high efficiency monocrystalline SunPower cells with 22+% efficiency (praise the sun!). Each cell has a nominal voltage of 0.5V so we call this a “5V” panel

They output a nominal 5V at 940 mA peak via a 3.5mm x 1.1mm DC jack connector. The panel is constructed with ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene), making it extremely durable and resistant to environmental elements, a superior upgrade to PET or laminate solar panel construction. They can easily stand up to typical outdoor use, including being dropped and leaned on.

6V 2W Solar Panel – ETFE – Voltaic P126: These panels come to us from Voltaic Systems, makers of fine solar-powered bags and packs. These are waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV resistant, and they use 12 high efficiency monocrystalline SunPower cells with 22+% efficiency (praise the sun!). Each cell has a nominal voltage of 0.5V so we call this a “6V” panel

They output a ‘nominal’ 6V at 330 mA peak via a 3.5mm x 1.1mm DC jack connector. The panel is constructed with ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene), making it extremely durable and resistant to environmental elements, a superior upgrade to PET or laminate solar panel construction. They can easily stand up to typical outdoor use, including being dropped and leaned on.

USB micro B JIG Dummy Plug: This USB micro B “JIG” Dummy Plug is a small, handy device for those interested in debugging their smartphones or other devices that use the ID pin #4 for a special signal. This plug has a 300K resistor from the ID pin to ground, which can be used to resuscitate Samsung S4, S5, S6 and possibly others by putting into an emergency repair mode.

Pimoroni Interstate 75 – RP2040 LED Matrix Driver – PIM584: Enter the (LED) matrix with this all-in-one, USB-C powered controller for HUB75 panels. The Interstate 75 is an RP2040-based driver board for HUB75-style LED matrices. It’s designed to plug neatly into the back of a LED panel and provides a quick and easy way to whip up some scrolling signage or an eye-catching LED display for sensor outputs. It’s very similar to our MatrixPortal but instead of a SAMD51 + ESP32 for WiFi/BT there’s only the RP2040 chipset driver (which makes it less expensive).
