I ❤️ open instruction sets

Renesas Electronics R9A02G021 48MHz RISC-V, 128K flash, 16K RAM $1.33 @ 3k The only non-China RISC-V only MCU I could find on DigiKey. Notably, it operates up to 5.5V! Regular peripheral set, also has a 12 bit ADC and 8 bit DAC.

Remember what is inside each of those batteries

It is great to see someone else make use of that adapter. It expands the Arduino MKR form factor to pmod and click. Soldering optional.

Funny test: the @fpgahelper (thanks for the boards) Ziggy Bridge MKR board with a LAN8720 PMOD and AXE5000 (@AlteraFPGA_ Agilex5). Everything with @enjoy_digital LiteX/LiteEth. netboot works out of the box to load LiteX-bare-demo and donut! 🎇🥂

All three are equivalent. The first two being the same is absolutely intuitive, but it took me a while to realize how and why the last one works too. I'll probably remember this for the rest of my life as a "one weird trick" that can come in handy sometimes.

The Pixel Buds 2a teardown gave us whiplash. The buds are glued shut like a tiny escape room, but the charging case is one of the most repairable we have ever seen. It's a tale of two products. One half looks like the team ran out of time and reached for the glue. The other…
