Maker Faire 2008 was another extremely entertaining event. We got to catch up with lots of current customers (you guys rock) and met many new friends.
We <i>accidentally</i> stepped on an SD card, and what we found inside mystifies me.
Cass emailed us about an interesting, nicely polished, new musical instrument created by a student team in the United Kingdom.
I love it when I hear this in the office. Every once and awhile we get to hear from a SparkFun customer who is working on something phenomenal. Most recently, Aaron our tech support guru forwarded me an email from Jared, a customer using the GeoChron in a unique way.
We'll be at Maker Faire next week, Friday 5/2 to Sunday 5/4. If you're anywhere near San Francisco or San Mateo, you should swing by the SparkFun booth! We're bringing things... Blinky things. And some fun stuff too.
It's probably been done a few times before, but it's really neat to be able to control an Etchasketch with a couple accelerometers.
It's like a capacitive rotary dial with the need for sensitive ICs! The Softpot Rotary from Spectrasymbol is the latest of a handful of new potentiometers.
Oh PCB layout. How you spite thee. What's a coaster you ask? A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beermat">coaster </a>is something that sits under a coffee mug (or beer glass) and prevents the vessel on top from leaving a visible ring on a table. It's also a name for a completely screwed up PCB.
The <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8635">electret mics</a> we sell work great, but often need some amplification to be able to hook an analog audio signal to a micro.
1, 2, 3,... 19 new things to post. We are really excited about so many of these, it's hard to choose where to start.
Have you seen the latest edition of <a href="http://www.nutsvolts.com/">Nuts and Volts</a>?
When we got the new magnetic stripe <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8633">readers</a> and <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8634">writers</a>, we didn't really expect to see them work so easily!
We're very fortunate to be a <a href="http://makerfaire.com/bayarea/2008/sponsors/">sponsor</a> at Maker Faire this year in San Mateo, May 3-4. Show us what you're building!
Wow! We've had a lot of new gadgets posted this week! Don't forget to check the listing from yesterday as well.
We've updated our <a href="http://www.opencircuits.com/SFE_Footprint_Library_Eagle">Eagle Footprint Library</a> on the Open Circuits website (we love that place!)

Apologies for my confusion. I was deep in the datasheet (page 1137) where this line gave the impression of USB 2.0 capabilities. "RP2350…
Yep you are correct. I mistakenly took the spec from the Pico 2 board itself which states "Raspberry Pi Pico 2 comes with all the features…
More corrections: According to the datasheet RP2350 has no internal flash not 4MB as stated here. The RP2354 has 2MB of internal flash.
The RP2350 is still USB 1.1, not 2.0 as stated in the article. I am sure I wouldn't have spent a few hours reading about ULPI trying to see…
Thanks for the heads up! It looks like we went live with the 1st draft 🤦 I've got it updated now and will double check the specs again.
In addition to the parts you highlighted, the M33 core not the same as the M0+, as it's described as being in the article
Something does not add up here. According to the RP2350 datasheet on RPi site, RP2350 has: > * Dual Cortex-M33 or Hazard3 processors at…
