LEAP#310 TEA5767 FM Stereo Chip
A couple of TEA5767 Low-power FM stereo radio chips landed in my lap. They arrived mounted on a small module board with all the essential supporting circuitry, so they should be ready to run without much external hardware. This project is a simple test drive under Arduino control. It simply skips through a selection of local FM stations and works amazingly well! As always, all notes, schematics and code are in the Little Electronics & Arduino Projects repo on GitHub.

LEAP#309 Audio Connectors
Audio signals can be carried by any kind of connection, but there are some more commonly used standard connectors for audio applications.
I started this project folder to collect notes on the verious connectors I use or have encountered.

LEAP#308 Combinational Logic 7-segment LED Driver
Ben Eater published a fantastic video/tutorial on designing a 7-segment hex decoder as an adjunct to his 8-bit breadboard computer quest. The first thought was of course “that’s an awful lot of work just to drive a 7-segment display .. lucky we don’t have to do that these days!” My next thought was naturally: “OK, now let’s build it!”. It was in fact a great excuse to dust off some combinational logic methods. As always, all notes, schematics and code are in the Little Electronics & Arduino Projects repo on GitHub

LEAP#307 Boldport Matrix Keypad Control
So… ways to get arbitrary messages onto the Boldport Club Matrix? I happen to have a KeyboardMatrixModule that is coincidentally 5 keys high by 4 wide .. a number that neatly fits into the 24x5 display port of the Matrix. So I’ve wired it up and enabled a couple of commands to edit a message and start it scrolling. It is somewhat tedious, but it works!
