March Update: Status Report
Welcome to this month’s community update. We’re now facing one of the most challenging electronics manufacturing circumstances in years, and possibly even in all of electronics history. Despite this, I’ve got some good news to relay this month, including a Quartz64 pilot production-run, SOEdge being available next month and plenty of community news. Last minute update: looks like we will have the PinePhone and Pinebook Pro for pre-order next week too, hurrah!
MQTT BROKER on ESP8266 or ESP32
Since lately I received some messages about the old MQQT broker on ESP8266 I was thinking that it might be a good idea to restart the project.
The plan will be to moved it back to ESP32, where was originally started, in fact was started on ESP31B.
I will do that if there is some interest in this project, also if we can share the work.
Please let me know in the comments if this project makes sense or not.

LiquidCrystalRus - небольшое обновление
Недавно в проект LiquidCrystalRus на GitHub пришло issue по поводу того, что функция print при попытке выводить некоторые неалфавитно-цифровые символы из знакогенератора дисплеев на основе HD44780U, несправедливо их калечит. И я решил скорректировать алгоритм трансляции - чтобы он применялся строго к символам русского алфавита. Чуть больше кода из-за проверок, но зато можно так:
lcd.print("Дисковод 5\xf0");
На экране мы увидим: Дисковод 5¼
Плюс добавил пример DumpCharacters, выводящий построчно весь знакогенератор дисплея, что снимает вопросы по поводу того, есть ли там кириллица в принципе.
Надеюсь, кому-то пригодится )

Free Stuff, July 2020–September 2020

Omega2 Lead Time Temporarily Increased
Updated: May 7, 2021
We want to make everyone aware the lead time for Omega2 volume orders has been temporarily increased to 16 weeks. The extended lead time is currently in effect and applies to all Omega2 devices when purchased directly from Onion:
Omega2 (OM-O2)Omega2+ (OM-O2P)Omega2S (OM-O2S)Omega2S+ (OM-O2SP)This temporary extension to the lead time is a result of the global microchip crisis.
We are working with our suppliers and manufacturing partners to minimize the impact this has on our customers.
What if I need units now?Visit our distributors Mouser and Digikey – they will continue to sell Omega2 devices in small and large quantities...
February Update: Show and Tell
Welcome to this month’s community update. As many of you know, we have now entered the Chinese New Year (CNY) period, which means that all manufacturing and related business activities have ground to a halt. It is always a mad rush to complete ongoing work prior to CNY, but now that the festive period is upon us we get a chance to catch our breath and evaluate the progress made.
