 It's a chip shortage every day. It's a chip shortage in every way. This week. It's TDK Yes Okay, this part can't we get we can't we definitely cannot get this part the TDK ICM 2948. It's a popular 9-dof Sensor, you know the LSM 9 DS 1 Disappeared it's end of line. It's actually ironic where we actually got a couple of LSM 9 DS ones the problem though with the LSM 9 DS 1 is the price like basically went up like six six times Over the course of this ship shortage But the whoa, there's double the TDK Why didn't that well because you wanted more TDK so the ICM Sorry 20 What's it now for at 2948 Yeah, a lot especially from the same company that makes the NPU 6050 and so this was a quite popular Sensor because a lot of people you know moved from the 6050 to this So the great sensor it has like fusion built-in if you use like their firmware It's a cool chip and guess what guess what guess what we can't get any film. Yeah, so we can't get any of these chips Yeah, so I went to the website. I was like well, maybe I can like Find What TDK stands for you thought maybe you could find it. Yeah, and so what are we using it? Well, we use it in our ICM breakout, which we have a lot of people waiting for It's a stomach UT boards a really easy way to add nine-toff sensors to your project Again, this is a really cool sensor with the accelerometer gyro and magnetometer built-in. We can't make it used by children Use this to learn. Yes. There's People who are making robots that help children and orphans. Yeah, and old ladies cross the street safely. Yeah It's also used video game systems entertainment Things that bring joy, you know, so we went to the digi-key site because we're like well, maybe we can find some there No, and there's not even you can't even back order.

Yeah, I guess you must please send us like one or two thousand pieces in the chat TDK stands for Tokyo Dinky Kagaku yeah Which translates to? Hey, could you please send us some chips? Yes Thanks Unending wave of chip so I'm going to Just play the sound the song again, but yeah, we really need these yeah like this one is particularly since it's been It'll be three years three or four years since they were ordered. Yeah, okay That's this week's chip short. Don't worry. We'll be back with another segment probably next week
