---

We just announced our first LTS firmware release, our presence on Digikey, and some new guides & tutorials.

| View in browser Hi there and welcome to Blues Wireless DevNews! As you ease into the holiday season and decompress in your neighbor's hot tub (because, like boats, you never really want to own one yourself), Blues drinks the hot tub water so you don’t have to. What’s this all about? 🤔 Hint: Check out our Hackster tutorial on water quality monitoring. Read on for other updates on our first LTS firmware release, getting started with Edge Impulse, and muchly much much more.   Cheers!
