 All right first up I'm gonna do this one coming soon to the Adafruit store this is kind of a big deal because as Twitter has melted down and not been a place to share content there's some places online that are better and some that aren't and Tumblr was acquired by WordPress and we really like WordPress they're open source the folks that run it are super cool and they have Tumblr and they're trying to do cool things with Tumblr they're trying to make it an independent artsy place and so we we have a tumblr at Adafruit.tumblr.com and we started talking to the folks that were like hey why don't we do some stuff together there's a big keyboard community there Nick who's at Tumblr built a mechanical keyboard with some Adafruit stuff and we're like we should do a custom key just like we did with Hackaday and GitHub and Microsoft so this is coming out soon these are renderings but it'll look exactly like this so we feel we feel okay showing what this is so we're gonna have some cool projects and more that we're doing with Tumblr but this is just the the start okay next up next up finally back in stock that we had this as a coming soon because we got the PCBs and then we didn't realize the PCBs had some silk screen deleted so we ordered the PCBs now they're back it's the rp2040 dvi feather this would have been shout out to Todd but he's been doing some cool cool stuff so what is this it's an rp2040 feather it's got the rp2040 chip eight megabytes of flash stem qt battery charging all the feather pins i squared c and analog and spi and on the end pretty cool is a full-sized hdmi connector that has dvi output it doesn't do audio it doesn't do ethernet just does video but if you want to experiment with generating video from modern devices this does actually work and when we test it on our tester we plug it into an hdmi monitor to make sure that the dvi signal is read by it it we only have support right now for Arduino we might have support for circuit python at some point but right now it's just Arduino but philby peter dragon wrote an awesome pico dvi library and you can see it just acts like adafruit gfx so if you've ever used any of our tfts or oleds and you used adafruit gfx as the underlying library it's the same there's fonts there's text there's colors there's graphics there's you know rectangle squares lines characters all that good stuff all the basis that you need to do graphics and drawing and as far as the feather is concerned it's basically connected to a 320 by 240 uh screen and that 320 by 240 is pixel double to 640 by 480 so you know the pixel is a little chunky but hdmi monitors every monitor supports 640 by 480 so it's a universal supported monitor we all have these dead modelists hanging on our walls that have nothing on them and we don't want to mess with put something on it because it's like internet connected in a bunch of nonsense and it's terrible you can turn it into art that you'd make yourself this is this is like one of the cool things and um check out the demo that Todd's doing and then and Todd but says I can verify the dvi rp 2040 feather is pretty bad we were going to call this a feather cast but then it would be a little confusing yeah um so you can also use it with the pico sdk they have a lot of examples um the the code that we have for arduino basically creates a frame buffer so you you draw to it as a frame buffer and then it outputs that frame buffer immediately um if you want to have higher resolutions i think pico sdk can like dynamically generate the signals faster but you know then you have to kind of be smart about like drawing each scan line um as it comes out i i kind of recommend going with the arduino library because it's simple you don't have to try to like race the h-sync and v-sync you just draw it and it outputs in the background on the secondary core but the trade-off is it uses a massive amount of resources it uses i think both pios or maybe it uses at least one pio and it uses 150 kilobytes of ram for 320 by 240 because that's to buffer the entire 16 bit color array and it uses one full core so it you know you can't do this and a whole bunch of other stuff but you know you can read sensor data you can it's demo scene time you could you know write little games um that run on it as long as you're okay with not having access to both pios and you're okay with losing access to one core and you don't need you know you only need like 30 of the ram that's available all right sorry i just showed content so i do lady at our team our customers our community and uh all the things that make us all go and share and do things together is laura fruit laura fruit so this is the another rp 2045 that you guys are going to see a lot of these because i basically did the design for it and then on the right hand side you know i swap out what the module or the circuitry is um so the pico dbi had a dbi connector and circuitry and this one has a laura module uh this is a um sx 1276 based 900 mega hertz so you can use it with 868 or you can use it with 915 it's kind of like right in the middle there um you just pick the antenna and then in software is how you tune the actual frequency output and uh the gpio that are left over from the feather are connected to all the diio on the rfm 9x module um you can connect either the ufl connector so you can connect a ufl to sma adapter then connect any external antenna no solder required or if you're willing to solder a little bit uh these little low cost spring antennas um you know one solder point and and these antennas are very compact um they work great so this is good for laura you can run laura wan on it laura wan is a software stack that uses the laura protocol there's laura wan stacks i think for arduino and pico sdk um not for circuit python at this time but you know you can just use laura as a long range wireless so these are more expensive than the rfm 69 series they're like you know like five ten bucks more because they use this proprietary laura chipset it goes farther if you don't need that distancy or you don't need uh laura wan support rfm 69 works really great and again it's cheaper but you want to talk to the things network or um you talk on the helium network or whatever that uses laura or sidewalk i think is also laura um sub gigahertz you need to have a radio that has that proprietary radio modulation um this will do it one thing that's nice is that we've had the 32u4 and feather m0 versions of this feather right so we've had the 32u4 laura and the m0 laura but those chips are a little older eight bit micros or um the samdi 21 doesn't have a lot of ram if you want to use circuit python with this radio you now finally have enough space and memory and ram to do it this has eight megabytes of flash and 264 k of ram so tons of resources available to uh you know make your sensor network with uh your laura radio all right and that's new products
