 new new new new new. First app First up, we have the cute bot Pro. So I think we have the original to but this one is kind of the same thing you plug a micro bit in. And you get motors and sensors and there's a you know, so not for distance and two wheels. The big update with this one is you can now use and 18650 battery, which we do not stop, but you can get them on various online sellers or sometimes I and some hobbyist chops and you can then use it as a rechargeable battery pack so you don't need an external battery pack. So it's not only for the people who are comfortable and okay with getting this other external battery and plugging it in. Keep in mind that we do not sell that battery ourselves. Next up we have some ESD plastic tip tweezers. So these are plastic tips so just be aware that they're not for hot air rework and don't get your soldering iron tip too close to them but they're ESD safe and they have like these soft replaceable tips which some people might like. So good for picking up components you can show them really fast on the overhead maybe. Oops it's got weaked. This is my pair. It's got a little bit melted and damaged because I was experimenting like what happens if you heat it? Turns out you can't but these are nice and delicate so they're good for dealing with components where you don't want metal tips for some reason and you don't want to the possibility of scraping or scratching them. Good. Next up we have a new BFF for Shao and QDPI boards. This one features the BNO-055 nine-dough sensor plus the BMP-280. So it's a two-forts and like 10 or 11-dough I guess. What's nice about the BNO-055 as you see here it will just give you quaternion or oiler this oiler angles out immediately you do not have to do any fusion you do not have to keep track of your error you don't have to do your magnetometer calibration it does it all for you which makes it a little bit more expensive but means you can use any processor just great people really like that for robotics and motion detection. The second thing is the BMP-280 on there is a barometric pressure sensor and you're like well what does that have to do with the nine-dough well you can use the barometric pressure sensor for altitude detection so you can not only tell the x y and z coordination in space but also how high up you are. If you pair this with a GPS now you can like pretty much identify anything perfectly within the confines of earth's atmosphere which would be kind of cool. And this little BFF board so you can just plug it right into the back of your QDPI or you can sort it directly into the back if you like it's got little cast-related pads even but we'd like to use little skinny stacking headers to make it a nice compact package but you know a lot of people want to do motion or maybe you want to make it the tiniest little drone this would be great for that. Okay next up we have the TSSP 77038 the 038 sensor 38 kilohertz demodulator okay so this is an interesting chip because a lot of people are like oh it's an IR remote receiver yeah it is but it's actually does a little bit more than that and a little bit less than that so we're going to show off our IR receiver in a bit but what a demodulator does it doesn't have any brains like IR receiver chips usually look for and try to you know understand whether it's an IR remote signal and they only pass valid IR signals from like a remote control this doesn't do that kind of filtering it will pass you know anytime it sees any 38 kilohertz infrared signal at like 940 nanometers it passes the demodulated signal along why would you want to use this well IR remotes like I said you have to like you can't send a continuous signal of IR remote on an IR remote like here you have to like stop and you send it again and you see the little blips if you want to use a break beam sensor that is modulated so it's not as affected by ambient light if you want to do a proximity sensor that bounces modulated IR light this is more for that kind of experimentation with modulated IR light you could use this for the remote control honestly I don't recommend it I recommend getting an IR remote receiver instead because that will actually do like the demodulation for you but and and filtering for you this is more for like science experimentation where you want to mess with IR light okay and stories show tonight so as you related our team our customers everybody who makes this video is the IR receiver board um so that goes along with the IR demodulator this board is specifically designed for people who want to do infrared remote projects uh you can see like you know you press a button and it's like I've received this code so we sell in the store like little breadboard friendly infrared receivers the problem is is that you can't mount them easily and you have these like little thin legs that you then have to solder wires to what's great about this is that you can plug in a two millimeter jst connector and then you could plug into a board and you can see there's like the wiring is very simple um another thing that's nice is a little red signal indicator led to let you know that it's received signal and there's two receivers on there you could select between uh depending on whether you want horizontal or vertical uh coverage so if you go to the overhead I can I have a prototype here it's green but otherwise it's the same chip um so the first thing is oh that's really bright let me pop that one moment okay uh first off there's two receivers there's a vertical and a horizontal and that's because maybe you want to have something that's like edge mounted and you want to have it pointing out or something uh flat against the wall and you want the signal to have as much coverage on the horizontal plane so between these two you get you know you obviously don't get coverage on the back although this one does have a little notch and like this is translucent so you could you probably could get some signal even if it was um came from the back there's a switch to select which one you want to use you can't connect them together because if they have different signals they will fight each other and so you just select which one you prefer but on the final version oh if you go to uh this photo um oh I mean uh I'm sorry I didn't mean this one uh on the back you see this is irh irv uh if you want you can get the individual signals from each one if you if you have two infrared inputs on your microcontroller as well as the signal which is the selected output and then okay so can you go ahead again I forgot I had a prototype and then um you know another nice thing let's make this less bright as you can see when you send um messages the signal LED goes off lets you know it was received and then I just have a little example code here what's the max distance for IR um I say up to you know 25 meters if you're lucky it kind of actually depends on the um transmitter not the receiver right the receiver will any single you get it'll work and this will probably work about 10 meters away at the most maybe like you know it's best before 10 feet it's meant to be like a room remote um but we have an ir transmitter uh dongle that we sell um and you know it's very high power and if you use it yeah you'll definitely get like 100 feet plus no problem um okay so this one as we press each code each code is being decoded and it's like telling you you do have to you know the output is the demodulated signal it has to go into my controller that has um that has an infrared receiver so in this case I'm using circuit python um Arduino also has IR receiving just make sure that you use the right pan and the right library you have to decode it like this is an anyc remote so this board doesn't do any of that like oh I have decoded and I also tell you what the protocol is it just sends the bit stream out and then your microcontroller or um microcomputer will have to actually convert that into which code and which button was pressed all right and that is new
