 new product for the new year. Happy new year. New products. All right. New products. First up. Yeah. It's a benchyometer. This is an alpha, Taiwan, right angle, 5k linear panel mount, inchometer. I know it's a lot, but we're actually gonna carry a bunch of different alpha pots. And this is like the first one of the series. It's a right angle pot. A lot of people use these and stuff like synthesizers and mixers and all kinds of projects. 5k linear, you know, we already have a 1k, 10k, I think 100k linear pots from alpha. So we're just going to add a lot more. So starting with this 5k, it's a nice little pensionometer. The pin spacing is 0.2 inches. You can use it on a breadboard if you like. It's a very fun pot. Next up, we have what I call the shortest USB A to USB C cable. This little thing is handy because it turns anything into a trinket. If you have a computer with a USB A port, plug it aside and now you can plug a board with a USB C socket on it into it. And it's like an instant connection because USB C is reversible. You don't have to worry about like what if the board's upside down because it can always be reversed the other way around. So it's kind of a nice little adapter shown here with a laptop. Yeah, it's a little handy like trinket of fire slash shortest little USB A to C adapter. But I think very handy for dev boards where you want to turn them into little pluggy thing. But they don't come with a pluggy thing. All right. And we finally got these as a dog. They're here. Yeah, we got these. You know what they're called like a meditation box or sometimes a prayer box machine. Yeah. These are often hacked. People will use the cases or they do circuit. Circuit bending circuit bending. Thank you on the I've talked to I even took a photo of the PCB on the inside so you know what you're getting. Or you can meditate to them. They are kind of cool. We all needed that. Next step. Yeah, we definitely don't need that. This will help you relax. Next up. It's the CP 2102 friend. This is an update basically for our CP 2104 friend, which was an update of our FTDI friend. Basically, it's a USB serial converter chip on a breakout with all the pins on the side broken out. And then the end is like an FTDI cable and it's basically this power ground data RTS and CTS combo like six pin connector that's often used in dev boards that need a USB serial converter and maybe a couple control lines, but don't have that built in. So the CP 2102 N is the next generation after CP 2104. And we love the CP 2104. It's a wonderful two megabit per second USB serial converter from side labs. We use it in dozens of boards. However, I know you're about to hear is we can't really get any more CP 2104s. They're proving very difficult to find in the shortage. But we haven't able to get CP 2102s. And so they're almost but not quite pin compatible. And for that reason, we want to start with making a breakout because this is USB C. One thing that's different is that it does have up to three megabit per second, not two megabit per second. So it can go a little bit faster than the CP 2104. The onboard e prime can be reprogrammed. Whereas on the CP 2104 it's a one time programmable. So there is a purpose for having two different breakouts for this board. But basically we're kind of trying to get this out to have an option for people who can't get the CP 2104 and also to experiment with this chip before we do a swap out of all of our other breakout boards from the four, the two. That said, it's a perfectly fine FTDI replacement and it's got USB C RX and TX LEDs. It's got all the pins broken out. So if you need all those, you know, weirdo modem controlled lines like ring or DTR or let's see what else DCD, you know, you need those pins. This breakout has them. Alright, next up. Next up is by request. A lot of people asked us to make a MCP 23017 breakout. Now we carry the chip for the MCP 23017 and honestly, I've just been using the chip all this time. But I do see the benefit of having a breakout where you know, the pull ups are set up for you and there's the capacitors and you know, everything's kind of aligned quite nicely. So this little breakout has an MCP 23017. It's a 16 channel GPIO expander that you can control over I squared C. So it has 16 GPIO labeled a zero through a seven B zero through B seven. And each one can be an output and it can drive or sync 25 milliamps of current. So it's good for LEDs and stuff like that. It can also be inputs. And the inputs can have pull ups enabled. So good for buttons as well. So it's kind of like a nice general purpose GPIO expander. When I think about the MCP 23017 is it's like kind of old, like it's a well established known chip. There's drivers for it all over the place. It's used so often. And this breakout is semi QT compatible. So you can plug it into I squared C very easily. On the bottom are three I squared C address jumpers. And so you can have up to eight of these on one bus they use I think address 20 o x 20 to o x 27. It's going to lots of GPIO but it's it's a nice just reliable, non weird GPIO expander. A lot of GPIO expanders have some weird thing going on. This one does not. It's really normal. So it's a it's a nice, easy 16 GPIO plug and play with I squared C. Alright, next up big deal stars show tonight besides you Lady Aida, our team, our community, our customers. Everyone hanging out in chat tonight is the the the the the first the last part we manufactured in 2021 and the first product we're releasing out of 2022 is the ESP 32 s 2 TFT feather. So we basically took a 1.14 inch color TFT display and slapped it onto our feather ESP 32 s 2 to give you a Wi Fi micro controller board based on the ESP 32 s 2 with native USB two megabytes of PS RAM, four megabytes of flash. It's got a lot of capability, a lot of speed and it's got this color TFT display and you can see I also have a little neopixel up top and a stomach UT port so you can plug and play I squared C reset and boot button. It's went through a couple different redesigns due to part shortages and etc etc. But you know if you want something that's just ready to go and has a display, you can even use the you know the boot button as an input so you might be able to do even some simple projects that just need like one button and a display and I scored C, you know, plug for external sensors to the expanders. Let me see if this one comes up. Okay, so here you go. So the demo I will say it's like oh you have a battery. I don't have a bad the the there's a battery monitoring chip. And you have a plugged into an actual plug thing. Now I know. Yeah. There you go. Okay, that's nice and sharp. Um, no, no, I think I pressed something. Hold on. Live demo could be my fault because I um I had moved the power supply over there. I think yeah. Sorry about that. Hold on. Let me just give me one moment. All right. While Lady Ada is uh getting another cable thing here. Yeah, I think that's my bad. I had to move stuff around folks. So while we're uh waiting, admire the photos. Oh yeah, you don't have a cable. Everything everything's been moved. We did a lot of cleaning but um I think we're gonna I think we're gonna stick with the photos then. Let me stick with the photos and um actually let me just go to go to the overhead so I can point out things. Yeah. Apologies. I think I unplugged the uh the USB cable. Um okay. So I've got USB-C uh battery input and you can see here's the stem IQT port. Um you can plug in vertical. There you go. Um you can plug in uh vertically so you can have I squared C um sensors and expanders. Reset and reset and boot buttons, color TFT display. It's all feather compatible. Of course, you wouldn't want to plug a feather um on top of it like a feathering on top of it but you could use a doubler or you could stack this on top of I'm gonna try this other. I think something I think that power supply is dead because the power lines it. It's okay. It happens. Um everything everything got shifted around here. Uh on the bottom we've got um an ESP 32 um S2 mini with four megabytes of flash, two megabytes of PS RAM. Um all the passives for monitoring the battery. There's an LC 709203. Um and that's a I squared C ultra low power battery monitoring that does like um voltage and not cool them counting but it like kind of tracks the voltage. You just tell it the capacity of the battery and it'll automatically um it'll automatically tell you the percentage and voltage of the battery so you can like track the percentage and not have to do the the math to convert like 3.7 volts to whatever and there's also a second regulator. Um the second regulator is used to um uh uh disable power um from the I squared C or TFT display so you can do like ultra low power usage because I think that could be uh you know more people are trying to use our boards for low power and I I thought um I had time with this one to to because I had to redesign it doing due to the um component shortage um so you can turn off the TFT power and the power to the I squared C port and get down to like 8200 um micro amperes which is about as low as you can get in deep sleep when using an ESP 32 S2 um and still have like you know the regulator and then of course in uh a lighter sleep like a sleep where you want to it was in execution I think it's about one milliamp um so overall pretty um full featured boards it sounds like the most stuff it's uh double sided um so again you know you you don't want to put a feather on top I recommend like a doubler or something with this if you want to add um more hardware but this is also great for a breadboard because go overhead you can um use it on a breadboard and have the TFT display um and um you know plug it in and it'll the the height of all the components on the bottom isn't higher than um the header spacer so that's kind of what I recommend it to be used for um but otherwise it's basically just like a feather ESP 32 S2 with a high speed TFT display and for circuit python it's great because you'll have um the wrap will show up on the TFT when you plug it in and that's new products
