MPR121 Touch Controller: 7 Checks for Stable Electrodes
Tune MPR121 touch sensing using filtered electrode data, baseline tracking, hysteresis and final-enclosure tests instead of copying one universal threshold.
MCP9600 Thermocouple Interface: 7 Checks for Valid Temperature
Set up MCP9600 thermocouple measurements with the correct probe type, connector polarity, cold-junction placement and explicit error handling.
INA3221 Monitor: 7 Checks for Three Separate Current Channels
Use INA3221 channels with verified external shunts, correct sign decoding and scan timing while distinguishing bus voltage, current and calculated power.
INA260 Power Monitor: 7 Checks Beyond the Integrated Shunt
Plan INA260 measurements with current-path inspection, connector limits, conversion timing and low-voltage validation instead of assuming every board handles the IC rating.
MAX44009 Light Sensor: 7 Checks for Honest Lux Readings
Read MAX44009 lux data with correct exponent decoding, integration settings and optical placement while distinguishing low power from fast measurement.
AS7341 Spectral Sensor: 7 Checks for Repeatable Color Data
Use AS7341 spectral measurements responsibly by checking carrier voltage, SMUX mapping, exposure, illumination and calibration before comparing color samples.
MCP3002 ADC: 7 Checks for a Two-Channel SPI Input
Bring up an MCP3002 ADC with a known input, correct SPI framing, supply-referenced scaling and a source impedance check before sampling two channels.
ADS1256 ADC: 7 Checks Before Trusting 24-Bit Readings
Evaluate ADS1256 ADC modules using reference quality, input limits, channel settling and noise tests rather than assuming 24-bit codes mean 24-bit accuracy.
MCP4728 DAC: 7 Checks for Four Reliable Analog Outputs
Plan an MCP4728 DAC project with reference selection, output loading, synchronized updates and safe EEPROM use before connecting four analog channels.
