Desk of Ladyada – A Tester-ful Week #DeskOfLadyada #Adafruit @Adafruit
This week we’ve been doing pre-taxes review and also working on a lot of testers. Specifically we’ve got the tester for the SHT45 Trinkey ready, plus we ‘pico-ified’ our Feather ESP32 v2 from Raspberry Pi.
Ditto we also de-Teensyified the ItsyBitsy 32u4. We wrapped our huge revision party in January but we are still working on tester-sweeps so you’ll see more of those.
We also got more JST SH cables in so we can finally stock our HV UPDI programmer board: this one had quite a few hiccups as we designed the tester totally wrong! In the end, we did get it working with a few analog trix.

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.
