Desk of Ladyada – Breakout Board Backlog #DeskOfLadyada #Adafruit
This week, we worked on some hardware and software to dig through more of our massive breakout-board backlog. These are mostly boards we designed in 2021-2023 and then got sidelined by part shortage or babyada.
Most just need firmware driver work, which we’ve used ChatGPT to help with since it’s all very repetitive setter/getter code. We worked on the VCNL4200 and the LPS28 drivers, the first we used OpenAI Canvas. For the second, we tried to use Cursor but had a lot of difficulties since PDF upload is not enabled, and there are no plans to add it.
