Received a first prototype of a USB to UART PCB (Printed Circuit Board) based on the 3x3mm CP2102N-A02-GQFN20R chip. This board features a blue power LED, a red transmit LED and a green receive LED, and exposes all signals on 16 prototyping pins.

Just designed a new prototyping PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for this 3x3mm chip. which converts USB to UART for interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs and can also be used for other serial interface needs.

We plan to use this USB to UART controller to interface with a RISC-V microcontroller in our design for a pen-like stylus haptic accessibility product for a blind person to feel visual art.

We've received a first prototype of an 8mm by 8mm LED (Light Emitting Diode) light ring for a small camera. This ring includes 8 LEDs and is powered by an external 3.3V power supply.

We plan to use this light ring in our design for a pen-like stylus haptic accessibility product for a blind person to feel visual art.

We've just received a prototype PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for testing a small FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connector with 31 conductors, a width of 7.5mm and a length of 3mm.

We plan to use this connector in our design for a pen-like stylus haptic accessibility product for a blind person to feel visual art.
