NEW PRODUCT – Adafruit EYESPI Pi Beret – Buttons, EYESPI and STEMMA QT
Raspberry Pi’s make for useful lil computer systems, however they’re actually great when you possibly can join all kinds of nifty {hardware} to them: shade TFT or E-Ink shows, and sensors are our go-to favorites. Even higher is once we make it quick and easy to wire these up. With this new EYESPI Pi Beret there’s no extra counting pins or noodling with a breakout board. This slim HAT plugs in and offers you a lot of {hardware} connection choices in order that many initiatives turn into plug-and-play.
Our most up-to-date show breakouts have include a brand new function: an 18-pin “EYE SPI” normal FPC connector with flip-top connector. That is supposed to be a sort-of “STEMMA QT for shows” – a strategy to shortly join and prolong show wiring that makes use of lots of SPI pins. On this case we’d like lots of SPI and accent pins, and we wish to have the ability to use lengthy distances, so we go along with an 18-pin 0.5mm pitch FPC.
With such a slim and versatile cable, it’s straightforward to have shows wherever with out them bodily connected to the Pi like in our PiTFTs. Decorate with huge daring colourful shows or power-sipping E-Ink.
Don’t neglect you’ll additionally need an 18-pin EYESPI FPC cable. And naturally certainly one of our EYESPI shows too – search for the EYESPI brand on the again to know you’ve received one that may clip in.
- MOSI/MISO/SCK SPI pins are linked to the default SPI port on the Raspberry Pi
- SDA/SCL I2C pins are linked to the default I2C port on the Pi
- Show CS on Raspberry Pi CE 0
- Show DC on Raspberry Pi GPIO #25
- Show Reset on Raspberry Pi GPIO #27
- Show Busy on Raspberry Pi GPIO #17 (used for E-Inks)
- Show Backlight on Raspberry Pi GPIO #18 (there’s a jumper to chop/disable this if you wish to use the PWM output for different makes use of like NeoPixels)
- Contact CS on Raspberry Pi CE 1
- Contact IRQ on Raspberry Pi GPIO #24
The remaining EYESPI pins should not linked, leaving you with loads of GPIO for different accent boards.
We even have a Stemma QT connector for the I2C port, to make connecting all kinds of Qwiic/Stemma QT units tremendous straightforward, two tactile switches on GPIO #5 and #6 and a slide change on GPIO #13 which you need to use for any kind of interface challenge or configuration.
Show and EYESPI cable should not included.
