 All right, IonMPI, brought to you by Adafruit and Digi-Key every single week, the newest best things on digikey.com. That aren't stock. Yeah, that aren't stock that you can actually get this week. It's Twin Industries, Lady. What is Twin Industries and what is your IonMPI this week? Well, they have a cool name. As I like to say at the beginning of the IonMPI, sometimes we have repeat vendors, but I always like to highlight new ones, ones that we haven't been able to get to and so I checked out digikey.com slash new, which is where I get all my NPI ideas from. And also, of course, all the newest stuff is there. And I saw this new featured product series from Twin Industries. So they make a lot of cool prototyping tools and breadboards and perfboards. And I kind of like this prototyping kit that they came up with. This is kind of a combination prototyping board setup. So there's three boards. First off, they have the coolest name. This is the OB-1. So like, OK, maybe the OB-1, maybe it's here to help you. Good naming. Good naming. And then there's the OB-2 and the OB-3. That's what's going to be, my guess. Good. Yeah, so actually, let's go back to the first one so I can get this one. The OB-1. The OB-1. You're my only hope, OB-1. So this board is kind of cool because Twin Industries makes solderless breadboards and they make perfboards and they make all sorts of like prototyping tools. What I thought was really neat is they're actually like combine them all in one, which I thought was a neat idea because it's true. Sometimes you want prototyping area that's got like the five-hole solderless breadboard style and you want a perfboard area that's kind of freeform. And then you also want a solderless breadboard like chunk that you can plug in and reconfigure. So there's three sizes. And I have a couple here I can show off. Now let's go here because I want to show. So this is what was normally called perfboard or prototyping board. So I know that's like there's solderless breadboard and there's breadboard. So this is like kind of technically what some people call perfboard or breadboard. And it has individual holes and they're not connected through. So each hole is like individually, you know, tinned, but they're not connected together. And the idea is you use solder and use blobs of solder to connect sections together. And then you have solderless breadboards, which, you know, the thing is, is that they're easy to plug in parts into, of course, but they're not as mechanically stable as soldered breadboards. Like parts can pop off or come off. Also there's a little bit more capacitance between all those little plates that are inside. And also they can get kind of loose. Like they're 99.9% reliable, but once in a while, especially if you used one for a while and they get a little rusty inside, you know, the connections can be a little tough. And then there's kind of what we call perma-proto, which is, you know, perfboard is kind of a mix between the two. There's prototyping holes, but they're connected five in a row, sort of like a breadboard. And so, you know, for example, here's the demo image for the Obi-Wan and you see, okay, you've got LEDs and headers connected on the right side where it's the free form area, dip chips in the middle, and then, you know, solder jumpers on the left on the solderless breadboard. So let's go to the overhead real fast and I can, you know, sort of show off. Let's go down. So I got a couple of these. One thing to watch for, just FYI, when you get these, the solderless breadboard, the solderless breadboard part is mechanically bolted on, but it's not soldered through. So, you know, if you're going to use it, you can remove it, but if you're going to use it, you'll need to solder these pins to make the electrical connection. It's quick work and these are all gold plated pads, that's nice. This section, you see there's a little silk screen over it, so it tells you that these five holes are connected together. So for example, you know, you have a trinket if you want to solder this down in place. And then you can have wires coming from here that you can then reconfigure onto the solderless breadboard area. And then of course, this is the free form area. So none of the holes are connected together, but it's good for, you know, if you have a dual row header, you have like kind of weird pinout sections or if you just want to have, you know, also see sockets sometimes for, you know, like tubes where they have like circular connections, those are going to be easier to connect into a free form proto area, or if you have like a tight pack connection. So like sometimes people who do op amp circuits, there's not enough holes on either side, so they'll do it on the free form area. So the OB1 is kind of my favorite. I think it's got exactly the right amount of each one. But I also got the OB3, which has basically, you know, power rails all the way down, well, not power rails. I mean, there are dual chunks and each chunk is a two by five. And then on the bottom, you can see that the two by five connects through to this area. So this is like a slightly different, a different set of, actually, sorry, this one also connects through. So this, this breadboard area is, if you, if you solder it in, we'll connect through and act as like a third row basically to this breadboard area. Another thing is, you know, they are good with breadboards, but twin industries also makes a lot of other kind of cool stuff. So they make flexible PCBs. They also have like these cases that have the PCBs that fit in them already, like ABS cases, and they also have a bunch of LED prototyping boards and Raspberry Pi hats also stocked by Digikey. So check those out. I like that they're, they don't just make like basic breadboards. They also kind of make some cool weird stuff and surface mount kits as well. But the good news is that the OB1 and friends are all available in stock. Digikey can buy them and ship them to you. This is the part number, just short URL, and that's one of the things that we're trying to do is, as we show this stuff, we want to make sure the availability is there as well. So very exciting. Try to get stuff that's in stock. It's handy, it's useful, and it's a lady at a pick. And that is this week's IonMPI. Thank you, Twin Industries.
