Hi all, I'm planing to get back to sending proper newsletter updates, starting next week. However this week a couple of small announcements.

CuFlow talk

I'm giving an online talk on my experimental PCB system CuFlow this Thursday around 5pm PDT, hosted by the people at AllHandsActive. I'm getting quite excited about presenting, and as always will be showing my slides on homebrew hardware. This time the slides will be running on CircuitPython, driving a Dazzler.

The new 5" Gameduino 3X

After a special purchase of a lot of 5" touchscreens, we're getting ready to stock this new Gameduino 3X family member. It's a 5" diagonal screen, with a crisp 800x480 pixels and a powerful, even backlight. They have a standard touchscreen, and work with all the Gameduino software for Arduino and CircuitPython right out of the box. I'm really pleased with the brightness contrast on these panels, the touchscreen performance. Unlike the previous Gameduino 800x480 models, these ones have square pixels. I'll see how this batch of 100 sells, and consider making it a permanent item. They will be available in the Excamera Store in a few days, and on Amazon a few days after that.
