I2C to dual PWM controller. The LED-Warrior18, manufactured by Code Mercenaries, is an I2C to dual channel PWM LED driver specifically designed to provide seamless brightness control for LED applications. This component, available in SOIC8 package (LW18-S) and as a ready-to-use module (LW18-01MOD), offers dual 16-bit PWM outputs with a dimming range from 0.001% to 100% and operates at a PWM frequency of 730 Hz. It supports programmable period lengths for higher-frequency or lower-resolution operation and includes an 8-bit data to logarithmic mapping feature for smoother dimming operations with just 256 steps. The LED-Warrior18 is engineered for minimal external circuitry with a 5V power supply requirement, offering ease of use in various lighting applications. It also features a sync mode for synchronized control of multiple units and customizable power-on status settings, making it highly versatile for standalone operations or integrated systems. Additionally, custom variants of both the chip and module are available, catering to specific application needs. The module version, LW18-01MOD, simplifies integration by including terminal blocks and supporting up to 4A load sink current for each output. The LED-Warrior18 stands out for its straightforward interface and operational flexibility, providing a comprehensive solution for advanced LED dimming and control projects.

Multi-subsystem ESP32-S3 coffee maker/alarm controller board for a Coffee Waker appliance. The design uses an ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8R8 module as the main Wi-Fi/Bluetooth MCU, with USB-C 2.0 device connectivity through a USB4105-GF-A connector, 5.1 kΩ CC pull-downs, and USBLC6-2SC6 ESD protection on the USB D+/D− pair. Power architecture includes a 12 V input on a JST VH B4P connector, a TPS62932 buck regulator generating the 5 V rail, a TLV1117LV33 3.3 V LDO for MCU/logic power, and TPS22919 load switches for controlled 3.3 V/5 V peripheral rails. Functional blocks include an NAU7802 load-cell ADC on I2C with two differential load-cell channels, a MAX98357A I2S audio amplifier/DAC with speaker/output filtering, a microSD socket on SDIO, I2C/test headers, UART/programming header, and auxiliary JST VH connectors for wake-light or external loads. The high-voltage section includes 120 VAC input/output screw terminals, a 5 V SPST-NO relay rated 15 A / 240 VAC max, a 1 A fuse, MOV surge suppression, diode snubber, and a dedicated heater output terminal.
