Adafruit has recently spent time adding support for the new Adafruit FunHouse WiFi Home Automation Development board to Wippersnapper, our no-code interface for Adafruit IO. We wanted to show off how easy it is to configure one of FunHouse's pushbuttons to act as a digital input and send data to Adafruit IO. All in under a minute! What is Wippersnapper? Wippersnapper is a no-code IoT interface for...

Glider is a new app we're working on that will allow folks to program a CircuitPython board anywhere, with a mobile device like a phone or tablet (it will also work on desktops, but we sorta recommend USB ports if you have em) Glider sends and receives files over BLE using a simple protocol we've developed that is simpler and easier to implement than BLE's object-transfer-protocol. One of the nift...

We've wanted to have something that plugs into a USB A port and provides a QT port for a while. But since we want it to support any and all QT boards, we need more RAM and storage than the SAMD21 can provide. We probably cannot buy any SAMD51's for like a year - but RP2040 is a good option! Lots of RAM and we stuck an 8MB flash on there. The idea is you can attach a QT sensor or whatever on top wi...

The Great Search is here to help you with the not-so-great parts shortage! As we're doing more seesaw-powered boards, we want a very inexpensive, simple, but fully-inclusive microcontroller. It can be 32 or 8 bit, not too particular about the core chipset, but we need to have 3 to 5V power/logic, internal crystal/oscillator, built in FLASH and RAM (EEPROM would be nice too!), ADCs, GPIOs, timers,...

There's a new keeb boar in town, its the 3x4 macropad we've been working on for a bit. I finally got around to soldering it together, lets take a look at the features and press some buttons! We're also testing a fancy new PR that just got merged for CircuitPython - we can now selectively enable/disable USB descriptors: for example UART REPL or disk drive mode! It can be a little scary, so lets do...
