The Desk of Ladyada - TFT simplifications & RP2040 tester tested!
Channel: Adafruit Industries
Date: 2022-12-25

hiya folks, we're back for a quick checkin at the Desk of Ladyada. this last week we've been doing some work on simplifying our TFT products: historically we've used low-cost and market-available TFT and OLED displays that required hand soldering (technically they are designed for hot-bar soldering but we dont own a hotbar machine). with our new TFT supplier and the volumes we tend to go through we can revise the PCBs to use plug-in type connectors which make the PCB a tad more expensive but require a lot less hand labor. thach also finished the RP2040 bitbang USB host with MSD support so we've been able to redo all our testers to use a pico board rather than teensy 3.6 - just in time since we've run out of our stash of teensies!
