The Desk of Ladyada - What is this, a gameboy for ants?!?!?
0This week we put together our first QT Py accessory board which turns the diminutive board into a tiny gaming platform with 10 buttons, a TFT screen, micro SD card, and headphone out. The PCBs showed up late last week so we quickly soldered one together and we pretty much got it going! then we ported arcada to it (that's our Arduino button/display library) so that we could do basic tests on the hardware. finally we spent friday and saturday on getting retro-go to work so we could use it as an emulator for nes/gameboy/sms/doom/etc. most of that was picking the right idf, learning how to work with CMake and doing the hardware port to support the i2c gpio expander.
The Great Search - Slim TRRS Headphone Jack

For our little QT Py gamer, we want to have an onboard headphone jack that folks can plug into to get audio out. Last week we picked out a headphone amplifier chip. This week we'll be sourcing a headphone jack we can use that will be slim enough to fit between the headers.
