Build a Magikoopa Wand with Adafruit’s New RP2040 PropMaker Feather. Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/mario-magic-wand We designed and 3D printed a magic wand inspired by the Super Mario Brothers movie. It’s got motion activated lights and sound with a spinning crystal gem. This new Feather is an all-in-one dev board that features an I2S amp, accelerometer, NeoPixel driver, Servo Header Pins, STE...

We're testing out prototypes of a new Metro https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=metro RP2040 https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=rp2040 , while the 'classic Arduino shape' is not as popular these days with dev boards as it used to be, we like the roomy layout, with lots of socket headers, and plenty of space for accessories like a MicroSD card socket with both SPI and SDIO pinout, SWD debug port, Stem...

we're always plugging stuff into our raspberry pi to make little demos and we finally decided to make an open-source hardware quick-connecting accessory for any Pi or single board linux computer with pi-compatible 2x20 header. this slim board adds two tactile buttons on gpio 5 and 6, a slide switch on gpio 13, and both EYESPI https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=eyespi and Stemma QT ports https://lea...

On the Pi Compute IO board and Pi Zeros theres a camera connector that is 22 pins and 0.5mm pitch, whereas the classic Pi's use 15-pin 1mm pitch. what if you want to switch between the two? this lil open-source hardware doo-dad will do it. here we're testing it by connecting a Pi 3 to a 'mini spy camera' modules that would normally go right onto a Pi Zero https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=spy+came...

"I guess I just miss my friend" - The Shawshank Redemption, Teddy Ruxpin edition by Adafruit - this is the hacked Teddy Ruxpin we made for our kiddo that allows custom audio, new mouth movements synced with the audio, custom/new eye movements and more. This is the 2017 Teddy Ruxpin that on launch was $100 to $200, the company quickly went out of business and there are tons of these bears for less...

nothing is as satisfying as a scoop mint chocolate-chip on a hot day...except maybe finishing a board design from 2020! this ZED-F9P is an RTK 'real time kinematics' board https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/06/08/eye-on-npi-u-blox-c099-f9p-application-board-for-zed-f9p-gnss-rtk-module-eyeonnpi-adafruit-digikey-digikey-ublox/ that can do high precision location. kinda like a GPS/GNSS but with centimete...

For our new Metro RP2040 design, we're making sure that the board can be powered by either USB Type C 5V, or DC wall adapters. While it's common to have 5V USB power almost everywhere, DC power is still useful for when you want 12V to also drive a motor or LED strip. In such cases, we'll use a 5.5 / 2.1mm DC jack to allow the most-common-sized plugs to work. These jacks come in a few common config...

this seesaw board converts 4 rotary encoders to I2C for adding a ton of twists. like our other attiny8xx boards, we use a metro m0 to do the programming of the UPDI interface, then communicate over I2C to check each pin is not shorted or open. this will be in the shop soon so don't get your knickers in a twist! https://www.adafruit.com/product/5752 Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafr...

Sometimes you've got something with USB host, like a embedded linux board, and you want to connect more than one thing. or maybe you want to turn something like a keyboard into a multi-device USB peripheral. this usb hub board will do that for you! it features an SL2.1 USB 2.1 hub chip which converts one port into four. we have either 0.1" header or USB C for the upstream, and then 4 x 4-pin ports...

Buck-Boost Converters are power supplies that are 'ambidextrous' - they can convert lower or higher voltages to one steady output. A good idea for if, say, you have something that could be powered by USB or two AA's but you want 3.3V output. Much like the name implies, they can both 'buck' the voltage down, and 'boost' the voltage up. For our Toy Hacker board, let's try to find a low cost buck-boo...

This week we got the prototypes for our 'Toy Hacker' board that replaces the innard of a Baby Einstein take-along-tunes toy with our own tronix. we picked the esp32-s2 as a main core because it has wifi baked in, perfect for when you have a device that is fully enclosed like this one! using the CircuitPython WiFi workflow, we configured the wifi credentials and access password in settings.toml and...
