All-original DIY electronics kits – Adafruit Industries is a New York City based company that sells kits and parts for original, open source hardware electronics projects featured on www.adafruit.com as well as other cool open source tronix’ that we think are interesting and well-made.

All the projects are redesigned specifically to make it easy for beginners to make: nicely silkscreened circuit boards, through-hole parts whenever possible, extra large solder pads, etc. For some kits, you can purchase just the circuit board. To save paper, the easy-to-follow-with-lotsa-pictures instructions are all available online, at http://www.ladyada.net/make

We personally guarantee that these are more fun than making a blinking LED christmas tree.

We’re thrilled to be included in this group of amazing folks for the 2009 EFF pioneer awards! Harri Hursti, Carl Malamud and Limor “Ladyada” Fried.
