On this weeks' Desk of Ladyada - we got a mess of prototypes including our Feather M4 Adalogger. We found a few mistakes, we'll chat about them so you can learn from us! We also got a flippy-floppy sensor Stemma QT board for the VEML7700, which comes in two reel flavors. pt has some hacker tunez to show off, and we'll unbox the new UNO MINI Limited Edition!
The Great Search - USB to Serial converter chips
www.digikey.com/short/z7bn9vpb
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, there were computers that came with DE-9 serial ports that would let you read/write 8-bit serial data on two lines. Those days are gone, now we have USB only. Many modern chips have a built in USB native peripheral so you can connect to a computer, but there's still lots of chips that don't! In that case you'll want a converter chip. Lets see what is available in the market and some things to watch out for when spec'ing them.
