Creating infrared board testers and small designs, including an Accessibility Trinkey and a Pixel Trinkey. Also exploring PCB-mount USB C plugs for modern Trinkeys.

This week at my desk, I'm designing testers for some of the infrared receiver boards and the BNO055+BMP280 BFF from a few weeks. Also, I'm cranking out a lot of tiny designs! including... an Accessibility Trinkey that connects a TRRS jack to analog input pins on a SAMD, a Pixel Trinkey that adds a low cost USB-to-NeoPixel-or-DotStar interface, and then since some folks want USB C versions of Trinkeys...a USB C Plug breakout board! This is how I'll test to verify if the complex footprint is good, and also, folks probably would like to have such a product in the shop.
