Desk of Ladyada - Simple Storage, Scope Stack, + Super Silent Steppers #DeskOfLadyada @adafruit
61This week at our desk...we're back from a family visit! We had Tannewt visit over the last few days, and chatted about CircuitPython goals for the coming year - we'll post the video soon.
We're also doing some workspace organization because we've moved to a new room for the office. We're trying to organize with some IKEA ALEX drawers ( • Updating organization at the Adabench... ) - approximately 1 billion people suggested gridfinity which looks totally awesome and amazing - but after doing the math on time or cost, not practical for the large number of boxes and trays needed.
We also picked up a scope cart! ( • Ladyada's desk gets a scope cart ) and we're working on the Trinamic TMC2209 'silent stepper' breakout (https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/11/21/trinamical-stepper-breakout-with-tmc2209) - it really is super silent - and the Metro RP2350 (https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/11/11/metro-rp2350-now-with-bigger-better-rp2350b/).
