Solenoids are a little like cats: if your project has one solenoid you'll probably stick with just one and in such cases our single MOSFET driver will work well. But if you have more than one solenoid, it's going to be anywhere from 2 to 24. Why? Maybe people just love their purring clicky-clacking. And driving a lot of solenoids is kind of a pain: they all need...

Adafruit has hundreds of designs that use I2C - a two-wire protocol that can let you quickly connect sensors, OLEDs, GPIO expanders, and more. Folks love I2C because you can simply connect 4 wires for power and data, and even better, share those wires with multiple devices! One things folks don't like about I2C is that each device requires it's own unique 'address'....

As we've been adding STEMMA QT connectors to our breakouts and dev boards, folks have been really enjoying the simplicity and speed of plugging in I2C sensors and devices for quick iteration and design. That's all good, but I2C wasn't really designed for hot-plugging. You're kinda supposed to have everything connected once on boot and never mess with it - I2C was...

Unlike our 8x8 dotstar grid here, these are not NeoPixel or DotStar or other 'smart' RGB LEDs. Instead of having a lil chip in each LED, there's one large...

The ANO rotary encoder wheel is a funky user interface element, reminiscent of the original clicking scroll wheel interface on the first iPods. It's a nifty kit, but the pin-out is a little odd - and there's a ton of pins needed to connect to the rotary encoder and 5 button switches. This Stemma QT breakout makes all that frustration go away - solder in the ANO...

Analog switches are a solid state alternative to relays, when you want a smaller, lower-power technology that won't wear out mechanically.

What's better than a single LED? Lots of LEDs! A fun way to make a small display is to use an 8x8 matrix or a 4-digit 7-segment display. Matrices like these are 'multiplexed' - so to control all the seven-segment LEDs you need 14 pins. That's a lot of pins, and there are driver chips like the MAX7219 that can control a matrix for you but there's a lot of wiring to...

Like Missy Elliot, we like to "put our [Feather] down, flip it and reverse it" and that's exactly what we've done with this new development board.
