NEW PRODUCTS THIS WEEK

Coming soon!

The ESP32-C6 is Espressif’s first Wi-Fi 6 SoC integrating 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 (LE) and the 802.15.4 protocol. It brings the goodness you know from the low-cost C3 series and improves it with Zigbee/802.15.4 at 2.4Ghz. That means it could make for great Matter development hardware!

ELECFREAKS Retro Programming Arcade for micro:bit V2 – micro:bit V2 Not Included

The Retro Programming Arcade for micro:bit is a color-screen joystick expansion board for micro:bit V2. It contains a 160×128 color TFT screen, four directional buttons, two A/B buttons, and a reset button. It can be used with micro:bit V2 to program games online and play offline on the Microsoft Arcade programming platform.

Vivid Unit: Versatile Single-Board Computer with Touchscreen

UUGear’s Vivid Unit is a powerful and versatile single-board computer that can be used for a wide range of applications. It features an RK3399 CPU with 4GB RAM and 32GB eMMC storage. It is a palm-sized device with a 5.5″ capacitive touchscreen, speaker, microphone, WiFi/Bluetooth, and various interfaces. It can be powered with DC 5V (via USB-C) or an Ethernet cable (DC 48V via PoE).

Mini Brass Hot Plate Preheater with USB-C PD or DC – MHP50-B5

If you loved the original Mini Hot Plate MHP30, but always wanted a little more space and oomph – there’s now a second version, the MHP50! With 1.5x~2.5x more power than the MHP30, it heats up faster and has a bigger rework area.

RJ-12 or RJ-11 Telephone Round Panel Mount Extension Cable

If you need to add a panel-mount connection for telephone-interfacing projects but don’t have the time or ability to cut a custom oval or square hole, this RJ-12 or RJ-11 Telephone Round Panel Mount Extension Cable is the easiest and fastest way to panel-ify your existing phone kit. It’s about 30mm in diameter, so you can drill a hole in your wood, plastic or metal with a common hole-saw or bit, no special shapes or filing required. Unscrew the plastic nut, insert the plug, and re-attach. Ta-da: Now you have an RJ-12 jack with an RJ-12 plug. The plug has the exact same wire order as the jack, so it’s a full pass-through connection.

Adafruit ADG728 1-to-8 Analog Matrix Switch – Stemma QT

Analog switches are a solid state alternative to relays, when you want a smaller, lower-power technology that won’t wear out mechanically. And, as the name implies, you can use the Adafruit ADG728 1-to-8 Analog Matrix Switch to connect between eight analog signals, much like a set of 8 mechanical switches. These chips tend to be tiny surface mount parts, so this breakout will let anyone use the ADG728 switch for signals up to 5V, without fiddly soldering.

Adafruit ADG729 Dual 1-to-4 Analog Matrix Switch

Analog switches are a solid state alternative to relays, when you want a smaller, lower-power technology that won’t wear out mechanically. And, as the name implies, you can use the Adafruit ADG729 Dual 1-to-4 Analog Matrix Switches to connect between two sets of four analog signals, much like 8 mechanical switches. These chips tend to be tiny surface mount parts, so this breakout will let anyone use the ADG729 switch for signals up to 5V, without fiddly soldering.
