For CircuitPython Day, Kattni and Jeff will discuss two major projects they recently worked on in CircuitPython: LED animations, and SD card performance. Look forward to a casual interview between them including live demos from both!

The Great Search is a new series of videos focused on searching the Digi-Key catalog to narrow down to the parts you want to buy. This week: Let's find an accelerometer for our next project, using Digi-Key! I2C or SPI? Analog or Digital? Range and bandwidth, we'll chat about these while we search for a nice sensor to include in some future designs. We'll also check out an interesting capability fo...

Lego base plates for STEMMA boards! These 3d printed holders feature built-in standoffs for press fitting the PCBs.

The BNO080 all-in-one 9 DoF IMU board is pretty nice - it can output accel/mag/gyro data as well as fuse sensor data together to give you Euler or quaternion orientation vectors. This sensor also has I2C, SPI and UART interfacing. UART means you can plug it into an FTDI cable directly and then run our BNO08x library to read the sensor data directly from a computer running Python! #adafruit #BNO080...

CircuitPythonista Jepler requested that the QT Py have a spot for external flash chip on the bottom for expansion. Your wish is my command! Voila rev B, with a SOIC 8 on the bottom connected to a hardware SPI port. Not much else changed here, it is ready for another prototype revision and maybe a pretty silkscreen! ...and! here is the QT Py with lots of STEMMA QT devices: OLEDs and sensors - oh my...

Folks love our PyPortal series, and we're working on making another version, this time with RGB matrix support instead of TFT for huge displays and clocks. The board plugs right in and is powered over USB C. Arduino or CircuitPython supported thanks to the new ProtoMatter library from PaintYourDragon. We tossed one of our favorite sensors, the ST LIS3DH on there as well - so make easy pixel dust p...

We just got our 7-color E-Ink display from Waveshare and its really cool! There's python code for drawing bitmaps to the display from Python. We are looking to maybe make some projects with this kind of display. It seems to have the same exact 'pinout' as other E-Ink displays we've seen. There are 7 colors - white, black, red, orange, green, blue, purple and they're a little watercolor-y which is...
