LARSON SCANNER 2021
Larson Scanner 2021 is the 4th revision of this popular product. And this version has way more features.
It's fun! Need any more reasons? And this new version is also more practical.
Instead of using an ATtiny13 or similar this time I am using an ATtiny3216 and 16 addressable RGB LEDs. Besides the Larson Scanner pattern, one can program it with different patterns and there is a push button to select different function/patterns. There is more to it though. Onboard the PCB, which is same size as previous versions (165x17mm), there is also an I2C ambient light and temperature sensor, and a microphone! On the back you can solder Grove-style connectors giving access to UART, I2C & GPIO including DAC output. Supplied are right angle PH2.54 connectors but the connections are more or less following Grove ecosystem guidelines It is powered through the mUSB connector but can also use PSU4056L modules same as previous versions. mUSB is also used to access the UPDI programming pin and I even made a programmer to help with this (optional) Larson Scanner is using WS2812C addressable RGB LED for relatively low power consumption.
Using the LED array as a bar graph you can program it as a VU Meter, Thermometer, Night Light, or an indicator for various conditions limited only by your imagination. An add-on board is also in progress which will hold a 14500 Li-Ion or LiFePO4 cell and power management (charger etc.) and possibly a small audio amplifier & speaker to use with the DAC output.
I have also made a simple programmer for the new Larson Scanner as the UPDI is passing through the mUSB port.
LARSON SCANNER 2021 is using ATtiny3216

This is a small adapter to allow programming using Arduino IDE.
UPDI programming pin is accessible via the mUSB connector.
Arduino Nano NOT included.

PSU4056 is a small buck converter which allows powering Larson Scanner with a higher voltage (28V max)
Photo shows big electrolytic capacitors but in the version for Larson Scanner will be replaced by ceramic capacitors so the board will be as low-profile as possible.
