Leftovers & layout - WLED board revision A completed!

Sunday night, Babyada went to bed early, so we finished the capture and layout of our WLED board. Thanks to all the suggestions, we were able to implement quite a few!

For power, use USB C PD with switch-select or DC up to 24V; they are diode-OR'd together with PMEG3050

into a massive 5A 24V fuse

For the 5V regulator, we picked NCP718ASN500T1G

- it's linear, but we don't need a lot of current at 5V. For 3.3V, we went with our trusty TPS54202

Upon request, we kept the ICS-43434 I2S microphone

and added an IR 38KHz receiver. For external connectivity, there's an ADC/DAC/GPIO #27 breakout on a JST SH 3-pin and I2C on a StemmaQT/Qwiic 4-pin.

We also added a 2x3 breakout header with 3V, GND, and 3 more GPIO so you could connect an external microphone, IR receiver, buttons, or rotary encoder. The terminal blocks have three 5V level-shifted outputs with 100 ohm in-line resistors and power/ground pairs for each. If you need just one more LED strand, the fourth 5V signal is on the 2x3 block.

Rounding out the design are four mounting holes, a reset button, GPIO #0 user button, GPIO LED, and an individual NeoPixel, which could be useful for testing. It's still pretty small, 2" x 1.3". With an ESP32-Mini module, we can pick a PCB or wFL antenna port, and it's an easy swap to make it use an ESP32-Pico, which has 2MB PSRAM.

Whatcha think - anything else we should add or watch out for?

Tamagotchi Uni USB-C Charging Port is Located at the Bottom

The Tamagotchi Uni will be the first Tamagotchi to feature USB-C, in fact it’s predecessor, the Tamagotchi Smart utilized micro USB. Tamagotchi Uni will feature the latest USB standard, and we love it. This means that your existing USB-C chargers will be able to charge the Tamagotchi Uni, both the power bricks, and USB-C cables. This provides a world of possibilities as to what can charge your Tamagotchi Uni!

Ano Shimizu, the newest member of the Tama Family who was presented the title last week at the 2023 Tokyo Toy Show posted an Instagram story of their Tamagotchi Uni charging. We we then noticed that Bandai moved the charging port on the Tamagotchi Uni!

The Tamagotchi Smart featured a micro USB port on the left side of the device which had a rubber cover to seal the port shut when it was not being charged. Looks like Bandai has switched it up and moved the charging port to the bottom on the Tamagotchi Uni. This does seem to make more sense, but it’s important to call out that you won’t be able to charge the Tamagotchi Uni when it’s in the wristband.
