Live from the Desk of Ladyada

The Great Search - How to Source Tariffed & Non-Tariffed Items on DigiKey

Episode summary

Since this is the topic of the day, we’ll be looking at how to purchase an item from DigiKey with tariffs in mind. DigiKey is a free trade zone, which means that if you’re not in the USA, you will not have to pay additional tariffs on goods that are re-exported. However, for USA destinations, the new tariffs can add a significant cost if the component has its last manufacturing step in China.

Let’s use the example of a simple I2C-controlled temperature sensor to see how our sourcing decisions may be impacted by tariffs.

Raspberry Pi

NFC Raspberry Pi Media Player #adafruit #raspberrypi

Episode summary

You can build a tap-to-play video player using a Raspberry Pi 5, Adafruit’s NFC Breakout and NFC cards. Full Tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/nfc-raspberry-pi-media-player

To play a movie, just tap an NFC card over the 3D printed case. A python script runs code that launches movies in the VLC media player.

The NFC cards are fitted inside a 3D printed case inspired by VHS cassette tapes.

This project aims to make the movie watching experience more special by creating a physical experience. No streaming networks or wifi necessary!

Circuit Playground

Tutorial Intro: Chinese Dragon Puppet with Motion Reactive LED Flames and MakeCode #adafruit

Episode summary

Full tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/chinese-dragon-puppet-with-motion-reactive-flame-effect/overview

Make a Chinese Dragon puppet with a dramatic flame LED effect. The lights are motion-reactive so he lights up when you shake him. This project uses an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express with a built-in motion sensor and NeoPixel LED lights. The code is written in Microsoft MakeCode, an easy-to-use drag and drop code editor. (Or maybe in this case, a dragon-drop code editor.)

This is an easy beginner-level project that involves a little bit of soldering. You can download our code sample, or learn to make your own flame effects. This is a fantastic project to do with kids.
