 All right, new products. This is an update. Yes. Okay, people have been waiting the argy boys back in stock. This is actually a video of the previous version. Argy boys are back in town. The boys back town with Argy Boy. We now have the Argy Boy FX, which has a fancy new silk screen. It says FX and it comes with a built-in chip that has a loader code on it. So there's a lot of games already on it and you can select which game you'd like. Otherwise, it's the same hardware and set up. You program it just like an original Argy Boy. So we did get a shipment of like a hundred and I think we sold a bunch. If we have them in stock, it's I don't know we're going to be able to get some more. These I think are probably affected strongly by the chip shortage. It took a really long time to get them. So which is totally sweet. But do pick these up. These are a very fun development platform for writing games and the industrial design is of course lovely. Next up. Now this looks just like a normal breadboard but what you don't know is that this is a premium breadboard. Yeah. So you know I use breadboard, these solderless breadboards all the time and you know as I was using them I was like you know I bet we can get better ones. And so I looked around and I've worked, it actually took me months of working with different breadboard factories to make a solderless breadboard that is buttery smooth as Philby would say. So one of the things is I took this apart to show is the clips are not flat. They're actually, let me zoom in because this is this is the secret sauce. I'm giving away all my secret sauce. So if you look here you see how there's like this little bit of a notch at the end. This notch makes it easy to insert but gives it a good grippy effect. And so what happens is when you have something like a feather or maybe you have a teen C4 one something with a lot of pins and you line it up and normally it's like a little bit of a struggle to get the board into the breadboard. But this is like buttery smooth. Can you just say yes? Here you try it. Tell me how buttery it is. Just try pressing that in. Did that just go in like smoothly, easily? Yeah it is like nothing fighting you. It is like a hot knife through butter. It's like a hot PCB through breadboard. And they're easy to remove as well. The opposite of a fidget spinner. It's like I feel calmer doing this. Yeah. Oh yeah. Okay. And it's also easy to remove board. So maybe I'll show it from the side. So you get that you get that action. It also makes the sound. It goes ah really nice. So the first board and also I like black rather than blue for the negative marking. I'm just like that a little bit. And I want to also try to get these with a with a brighter white color. But for now they're still the kind of classic cream color. But these are very, very satisfying breadboards. I'm going to say this. If you have something that you use every day like a toothbrush, spend a couple bucks on it. If you have something every day that you're going to use like a belt, spend a couple bucks on it. If you're going to have something that you want to last, spend a couple bucks on it. If you're going to use a breadboard, I think this is one of the ones that be choosy because it's your hobby time. Also comes with the middle plate. I forgot to mention that. Okay. So some people like that, you know, you you peel off the bottom. I'll bring this back out a little bit. It's kind of like if you if you start cooking and stuff like that, you should probably get like you know, a decent cutting knife. The metal plate can first off you don't have to worry about it sticking to your desk because you've got this metal plate protecting it. But also it can it can reduce EMI a little bit because you have this nice metal nice metal backing. So and here's the deal. It's the same price. It's just better now. Yeah, it's just all around better. And I do want to get the rest of the breadboards changed over as well. But right now, this is the only one that we've got. So just just be aware that if it says premium and I use the phrase buttery smooth, you know that and you know what for folks out there that that like their hobby and do the Pepsi challenge. Put one on your desk and try it out and then compare it to the the the other ones you have, you know, some people might like a different feel to their breadboard. Some people might really like this. If you find a better one for the same price, let me know because these I think are the best you can get for a couple bucks. premium step. Next step. Okay, we've got another update. So I know I just released this board and it's like, Hey, how could you possibly be revising it so quickly? Yeah, it's I don't know if you know about this chip shortage. It's a chip shortage. I've heard this song. It just won a billboard award. Okay, so I'm just gonna look at this image because this is kind of has everything we need. So, oh, no, go back to back one. Yeah, stay here. Stop. So the chip in the middle. So the chip on the right is the ESP 32 Pico module, which is a wonderful module that forms this feather ESP 32 v2. And we love it. The chip in the middle is the USB serial converter, which is the CP 2102 and originally. However, our shipment of CP 2102 ends is not on our way to us quite yet. Hopefully we'll be soon. However, we wanted to make sure that we could keep this board in stock. And so we decided to adjust this design and you know, because it's a new design. So maybe people aren't as wedded to the CP 2102 and on it. And now comes with a CH 90 102, which is a similar to the CH 3400, sorry, 340 or 341, which you've probably seen on a lot of dev boards. This is just one that is like the same pinout as this CP 2102. Otherwise, the board is exactly the same. We have links to the drivers and we also have a guide coming out on how to install drivers on Mac and Windows. It functions the same, the low power usage is the same. The draw is the same. The speed of upload is the same. It actually seems a little bit faster. Everything is the same. I think this is a really good candidate as a replacement and it allows us to keep this board in stock. Okay, I'm going to have a couple other pictures of the same because the only thing that change is that chip. Make it up. Okay. Next up, we have a new thing. This is a little bit kind of a weird device, but I thought it would be cool to stock. So this is a it's designed for as a controller for heater modules in like a vest or a jacket. It's a you know, slow PWM duty cycle power on off switch type thing. It comes with a couple different modes. It's actually easiest for me to show on the overhead because it's I'll let me turn it off. And then I'll start from the beginning. So okay, let me move this breadboard. It's not a premium breadboard out of the way. Okay, so this is like a rubbery what's nice about this is kind of like a weatherproof rubbery button. And you connect the black and red wires to your power supply, which can be I think between three and 24 volts or three and 12 volts. Check the product page. You press once to set it to be red and hold on this wire got disconnected. And then you connect the output ground to the blue wire and power to the red wire. And here's like a fan to demonstrate it because a fan is kind of nice. And it's a nice visual way to see it. When the light is red, it's 100% on. And then when you press it again, and it goes to blue, it goes to 30% off 70% on so it's like a 70% duty cycle. And you'll see the duty cycle isn't like a fast duty cycle. It's actually maybe take two seconds on and off. So this would not be good for like an LED unless you're okay with it blinking. It's good for heaters, maybe fans, peltiers, other kind of slow heating or cooling devices or powering devices. And then green is 30% duty cycles or 30% on 70% off. And again, the duty cycle is, you know, a couple seconds long. So it's designed for these heater vests. But you know, it's I thought it was kind of nice, you know, weatherproof enclosure. It's inexpensive. You just use the honor off functionality. Oops, I reset it. You just use the honor off functionality. I think it's still possible useful for some project. And I like that you can sew the outer edge here. There's like a little bit of a lip. You can sew it to make a wearable project. So you can cycle through. And then when you're done, you press and hold to turn it off. Okay, and the star of the show tonight besides you, Lady Eda, our staff, our customers, our community, and everyone who makes all these good things go is okay, we've got the finally after many years, the NAU 7802 strain gauge ADC, it's a Wheatstone bridge ADC, very precise differential input that's designed for strain gauges, but you could probably use it for other sensors as well. This was a product that we actually started designing right before COVID. And then COVID hit, we kind of got busy designing ventilators and face shields. And then we went back to the design, the chip wasn't available, but we did get a shipment finally, of these chips. And so I wanted to get this stem IQT board out, because we sell strain gauges, you'll want to read them. And this is a great I squared C strain gauge reader. It comes with the new photon and a u 7802. This is a 24 bit ADC. We only exposed one of the ADC lines, because most people using us with a strain gauge that you only need one ADC, E minus and E plus are the two exciter sides of the Wheatstone bridge. So left, you know, E minus is ground E plus connects to the voltage output from the NAU, it can generate a voltage between like 2.0 and 4.3 volts. Reason for that is I think it you know, you can get a nice clean voltage reference. There's seven QT ports, so you can just plug it into your microcontroller or board or microcomputer. We've got Arduino code, which I've got on the demo that I'll show. The jelly also showed very kindly. And there's also from Cedar Grove, a great circuit Python slash Python library that you could use with circuit Python board or like a Raspberry Pi or something. So let me show you how it works. So you connect the four points of the Wheatstone bridge strain gauge in this case to the sensor. I actually have the exciter and ADC pins backwards, but it's okay because the Wheatstone bridge is actually symmetric, so it doesn't matter. And then I have some Arduino code working on this feather that I just have plugged in. And you'll see I have the gain up really high. So you'll see like even even me touching this makes the number kind of grow up and down because I'm applying a little bit of strain just picking it up. If I set it down, it'll kind of stabilize a lot more. And then of course you can add more filtering on top. But then if I apply strain, you can see I'm so strong. And then the other way it makes a negative number because it's a differential reader. So you know, of course, you can measure if, you know, positive or negative change in current through the resistive bridge that is attached to this chunk of metal. This is a one kilogram strain gauge. I haven't actually tried it with other Wheatstone bridges, but there's absolutely no reason it wouldn't work with others. So if you have other projects that need a 24 bit ADC and you're okay with, you know, it's not going to go that fast. I'm running this at about 10 Hertz to get good precision out of it. But I think it goes up to about 300. I think you probably use a couple bits lose a few bits of resolution at 300. That's the tradeoff. It's an inexpensive board that's designed for slow measurements of weight. And there you go. So
