Timeslapse rework – VL53L1X to VL53L4CD QT breakout

One nice thing about standardizing on Stemma QT is that it makes it super easy to swap chips out when new versions appear. Here we are reworking a VL53 breakout to remove the older chip and replace it with a VL53L4CD <a href="https://www.st.com/en/imaging-and-photonics-solutions/vl53l4cd.html">https://www.st.com/en/imaging-and-photonics-solutions/vl53l4cd.html</a> which is a new time of flight sensor from ST. this one has lower range, only up to 1.3 meters instead of 4 meters BUT it can do much closer reads, as little as 1mm away, so it could be useful in some situations where the sensor could bump up against what it is trying to sense – <a href="https://youtu.be/8KMkBO5duVk">video</a>. Aaand, everyone always asks, so! Here is the Mini Hot Plate Preheater with USB C Power Supply 🙂 <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/minihotplate">https://www.adafruit.com/minihotplate</a> <div class="ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix"></div>

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 <a href="https://makecode.adafruit.com/">drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site</a>, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/circuitpython">CircuitPython</a> to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/3333">Circuit Playground Express</a> 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.
