Brad Linder<p><strong>Fruit Jam credit card-sized PC with an RP2350B chip launches for $40</strong></p><p>Earlier this year Adafruit introduced a credit card-sized computer called the Fruit Jam. It’s the size of a typical Raspberry Pi Model B, but it’s powered by a low-power Raspberry Pi RP2350B microcontroller.</p><p>This weekend the company announced that the Fruit Jam was available for purchase for $40. Only a few units were available at launch, and they quickly sold out. But more stock is expected […]</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/adafruit/" target="_blank">#adafruit</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/fruit-jam/" target="_blank">#fruitJam</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/raspberry-pi/" target="_blank">#raspberryPi</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/rp2350/" target="_blank">#rp2350</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/rp2350b/" target="_blank">#rp2350b</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/sbc/" target="_blank">#sbc</a></p><p>Read more: <a href="https://liliputing.com/fruit-jam-credit-card-sized-pc-with-an-rp2350b-chip-launches-for-40/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">liliputing.com/fruit-jam-credi</span><span class="invisible">t-card-sized-pc-with-an-rp2350b-chip-launches-for-40/</span></a></p>

Steve Pomeroy<p>My BFF wanted to have some light-up eyes for a costume that she's making, specifically ones that would react when she spoke. So I made her this little assembly, which holds some round LED boards a nice distance away from some LED black acrylic. I'm driving them with WLED running on an Adafruit Mini Sparkle Motion board so it can be powered off a battery pack. The built-in mic means she can have her voice-reactive eyes too!</p><p><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/1320889-light-up-eyes-assembly" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">printables.com/model/1320889-l</span><span class="invisible">ight-up-eyes-assembly</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wled</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Adafruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Adafruit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>costuming</span></a></p>

Jim SpathUSpol Adafruit supply chain
Nerb<p>Bought a couple breadboard power supplies from Canaduino awhile back. Noticed one on a friends bench and after examining it decided I needed one too. Better than the ones with linear chips. If this fails it just stops working does not send whatever source voltage was to your project. Took awhile to get. They used a shipper called Sendle to ship it from Canada to the U.S. </p><p>Anyway I looked around and ordered one of these to to send to the niece. <a href="https://www.canaduino.ca/product/electronic-education-diy-kit-the-broken-code-lock-troubleshooting-project/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">canaduino.ca/product/electroni</span><span class="invisible">c-education-diy-kit-the-broken-code-lock-troubleshooting-project/</span></a></p><p>If you know someone who is getting into electronics this is perfect!! Yes I did have to go over and help a bit as well as lend tools but she solved it herself and then broke the code. And asked if I could find more things like that for her.

Rob Carlson :ally: :BLM:<p>If you attach a custom HID device to an iPhone but still want the phone to pull up the on-screen keyboard while attached, you can have your device send an eject code (like adafruit_hid's ConsumerControlCode.EJECT) to allow it to keep taking inputs as a secondary device. I found that advice in a barcode scanner forum where they wanted to get their screen real estate back. <a href="https://epistolary.org/tags/Adafruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Adafruit</span></a> <a href="https://epistolary.org/tags/HID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HID</span></a></p>
