The Great Search – 24-bit PGA + Differential ADC (NAU7802 Replacement) #TheGreatSearch #Digikey @DigiKey @adafruit
(Video) We are working on getting our NAU7802 Stemma QT breakout into the shop – this is a 24-bit ADC with differential input support, and programmable gain for quick interfacing to strain gauges and other Wheatstone bridge-like sensors. Great news is we got a shipment for our order from Digi-Key, but they’re out of stock again with a long lead time. Let’s find an alternative ADC for folks who want to measure similar small-signal sensors!

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.
