The day before the #Protothon, our mentors gathered for final prep. Special thanks to @HunterInnovationFestival for allowing us to be a part of the fun. At this event we saw students from 5 schools invent technology to make their city safer, more inclusive 🏙 and pitched their ideas to Mayor Kay Fraser of @ourlakemac 
James is another friendly face we've recently welcomed into the Core Electronics team, as a technical support member he's on the forums and phones giving you the answers you seek. 📞 #MeetCoreElectronics 
This is the VEML6040, the 16-bit resolution (281.4 trillion colours!) 🌈 RGBW CMOS array that drives our new PiicoDev® colour sensor module (coming soon). This week in The Factory we explore the VEML6040, our new IMU prototype, and include Raspberry Pi support in our unified MicroPython library. Link in Bio 
Nothing puts a damper on a gaming session like forgetting to charge your controllers. 🎮🔋⚡ So we put together some 3D printed charging docks for the @8BitDo SN30 Pro, SN30 Pro+, M30 and the new SN30 Pro 2 controller. Link in bio 
A little behind the scenes looks at our @8BitDo Arcade Stick 🕹 shoot that we posted a little while ago, finished shot at the end. 
Some fresh faces around Core Electronics recently, Peter is hand assembling some prototypes for new PiicoDev® sensor modules. A pleasure to welcome another engineer into #TheFactory 🛠 #MeetCoreElectronics 
#TheFactory Update: We've been busy working on three new PiicoDev® modules: Sending out panels for the IMU tomorrow; Assembling a prototype Colour Sensor; and the Laser Distance Sensor has passed testing, but unfortunately there won't be a Factory episode this week. Enjoy this exploded view of our original #PiicoDev sensor. 
The versatility of 3D printing is endless, and this week we dip into the world of prop-making and cosplay with 2 styles of metallic finishes that are camera ready 📸. Link in bio
