       First of the Bones Rises – RP2350 Adalogger 🦴With the RP2350 chip in wide distribution (https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/03/27/eye-on-npi-raspberry-pi-rp2350a-and-rp2350b-microcontrollers-eyeonnpi-raspberrypi-digikey-raspberry_pi/), we're now able to come up with a lot of variants of our popular RP2040 "Bones" (https://blog.adafruit.com/2023/01/22/rp2040-feather-bones-for-a-few-different-varieties/) that ended up becoming a dozen different boards.

       We're starting with the 'Adalogger' design folks love: with a microSD card socket that is wired for SPI or SDIO. A separate regulator allows the I2C/uSD to be powered off completely for ultra-low power usage. This didn't make as much sense for the RP2040 because it was not a particularly low-power chip. There's also a Stemma QT port for plugging in external sensors.What other "Bones" should we spin up?

       @adafruit What I was missing from Feather series was power management stuff. Ability to source from an external power supply, FET switches to isolate sources. A switcher for 5v to 3.3. or boost buck 3 to 7v in, solar and battery, 5V and AA cells. No complaints at all! Just wishes.
