Dear Adafruit Support, I am writing to seek assistance with an ongoing issue I've encountered using the Adafruit VS1053 Codec Breakout (Order #3275486-8117809750). I have attempted to set up the breakout on an Arduino Mega Elegoo with the standard setup as documented in your examples and guidance. Despite following the provided instructions and ensuring all connections are correct, I consistently receive an error message stating "Couldn't find VS1053, do you have the right pins defined?" when running the test program. Here are the details of my setup: Arduino Mega Elegoo Connected using the ..read more

If you look at Schematic, there is a product called 74AHC4050. As a result of the search, it doesn't come out, only 74HC4050 comes out. I want to know if I can use it. Also, I want to know the difference between the two products. I also want to know the difference when using it. Thank you ..read more

I'm having an issue with uploading the code into the tail, ive downloaded the board needed for it and everything but it says "a device attached to the system is not functioning" and the error code is Code: Select all Sketch uses 3380 bytes (63%) of program storage space. Maximum is 5310 bytes. Global variables use 34 bytes of dynamic memory.

I'm interested in the CNC Rotary Encoder https://www.adafruit.com/product/5735 However the page info states "Once wired up, it works with any rotary encoder tutorial." and links to a bunch of tutorials, however NONE of the tutorials explain how to use this encoder directly with an Arduino. There are projects using circuit python, or using a Trinket as an HID, or using I2C and the seesaw library. I've seen this as a trend more and more where the most basic information or example code about how to implement a product gets left out, and instead overly complicated projects and example code is pr ..read more

Hey guys, first time posting. I wonder why I only get readings from the alternative AHT10 sensor , the one with address x39. If I .getEvent() from the other default AHT10, shouldn't it grab that value? Can I assign sensor_event_t to a sensor ID somehow? Thanks for your time Code: Select all #include <Wire.h> #include <Adafruit_AHTX0.h> #include <U8x8lib.h> #include <Arduino.h> // I2C // GND = BLUE // VDD = RED // SCL = YELLOW // SDA = BLACK // Objects U8X8_SSD1306_128X32_UNIVISION_HW_I2C u8x8(U8X8_PIN_NONE); Adafruit_AHTX0 shoeSens; Adafruit_AHTX0 refSens; // Glo ..read more

I am trying to make a device with a push button where I can record a message and have the name of the audio file be the time I pushed the button... NOT the time the audio started recording. I started with an Arduino Nano blue sense rev.2 but found wiring was getting messy between the RTC and SD card module. I also was not able to get the RTC to give me a reliably exact time down to the second because (from what I understand) the RTC gets the time from during the compile and that process might take a variable amount of time before it can write the time to the clock from my laptop. So, for my s ..read more

I have a new mma8451 sensor and I installed the library, and it always says "couldnt start". I checked the connection using another I2C sensor and it (the other sensor) worked perfectly. Then I found that is this code that returns false. (line 72 in Adafruit_MMA8451.cpp ..read more

Hey all! I've been attempting to set up a few strands of LEDs (12v), each paired with a rotary encoder all on a single Arduino Nano Every. The issue I'm seeing is that if I interact with one (an LED or an encoder via strip.show(), strip.rainbow(), encoder.getEncoderPosition(), etc) the first time I interact with the other type post-setup the Arduino reboots. For example, in the code below we 'idle' (rainbow()'ing) for 5 seconds before our first attempt to read an encoder. The very first getEncoderPosition() causes a reboot. Swapping to read the encoders first causes the same thing - the very ..read more

Further to my post last September I am still unable to replace a working 1602 display with SH110X or SSD1306 in a data logger application. As soon as #include <SD.h> is inserted nothing appears on the display. Does anyone know how to fix this ..read more
