Attaching NeoPixel strips to your costume can be a struggle as the flexible PCBs can crack when bent too much. So how to add little shooting stars of color? Use these stranded NeoPixel LEDs! Each strand has 20 stars with a single NeoPixel inside with cabling connecting them. The stars are 6" apart. NeoPixels are 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontroller inside...

This breakout is for a fascinating chip - it looks like an SPI Flash storage chip (like the GD25Q16) but its really an SD card, in an SMT chip format. What that means is that you wire up like an SD card breakout, and use the SD card libraries you already have for your microcontroller. For example, you can use the built in SD library in Arduino, or for CircuitPython...

This handy USB extension cable will make it easy to enclose a device with an A-type (USB host) port. We think this would be most handy when putting a Beagle Bone, Raspberry Pi, or Mintyboost into a box. The jack half has two mounting 'ears' with 8mm M3 screws installed, 30mm apart. The ears are flexible, so the holes don't have to be drilled very precisely. Can be...

This cute hard-covered booklet will make storing your SMT parts a breeze with translucent flip-pages that are designed for keeping taped parts. The book has 20 pages, 19 of them are for 8mm tape (the most common size of tape by far) and 1 page is for 24mm or smaller tape. Each page has multiple 'slots' that you can slide your tape into. The slots are about 3.5" long,...

This is the easiest way possible to add small, bright RGB pixels to your project. We took the same technology from our Flora NeoPixels and made them breadboard friendly, with two rows of 3 x 0.1" spaced header on each side for easy soldering, chaining and breadboarding. These ultra-bright LEDs have a constant-current driver cooked right into the LED package! The...

This is a DS2482S-800 Stemma QT board that uses a I2C-to-1W controller chip, with 8 selectable channels, built-in parasitic-power-pullups, adjustable I2C address and a wide operating voltage range! You can easily connect it to an existing I2C bus and then use the breakout pads to attach multiple DS18B20's, or pair it with our 1-Wire chaining breakouts for fancier...

This accessory makes wiring up sensors to your Bus Pirate 5 "a snap", with snap-open quick connects that plug into the BP5s header port.

Press the lever, insert a...

This luxurious accessory will make your Bus Pirate 5 a joy to use. This keyed and locking probe cable made of premium soft and flexible silicone-coated wire connects to the Bus Pirate 10-pin main header. The ends are 2.54mm Dupont connectors that fit many different types of probe hooks, as well as custom-milled breadboard adapter pins. Silicone covered wires means it...

This accessory for the Bus Pirate 5 makes it trivial to program bare flash memory chips without clips or soldering. SOP8 150mil and 208mil are the most common and inexpensive flash packages at the moment. After looking at a number of sockets, the folks behind the Bus Pirate 5 decided these bad boys, favorites of the mobile phone repair market, were the way to go....

Bus Pirate 5 is the latest edition of the original universal serial interface trusted by hackers since 2008. We've stocked and loved the Bus Pirate 4 for years and are excited to see the latest and greatest from the minds at WhereLabs. Can't get a chip to work? Is it the circuit, code, bad part, or a burned out pin? The Bus Pirate sends commands over common serial...

This little breakout board is specifically designed for use with Raspberry Pi 5 or our RP2350 boards that have an 'HSTX' connector. These devices use a semi-standard FPC connector to pipe high speed data for video transmission over differential pairs. But maybe you want to make a custom setup or adapt to a different product? This doohickey is your pal. Basically, you...

The Raspberry Pi 5 is the newest Raspberry Pi computer, and the Pi Foundation knows you can always make a good thing better! And what could make the Pi 5 better than the 4? How about a faster processor, USB 3.0 ports, and an updated Gigabit Ethernet chip with PoE capability? Good guess - that's exactly what they did! The Raspberry Pi 5 is the latest product in the...

Quantum superposition is a physics concept that light and matter can be both particle and wave at the same time. This amazing phenomenon can be demonstrated at home when you try to plug in a USB Type A cable in, it's both right-side-up and upside-down at the same time! That's why you have to try at least 3 times to plug it in. The Adafruit Reversible USB Type A Plug...

The Adafruit RS232 Full-Pinout Breakout with 8 Channels of UART to RS-232 Level Shifters is your friend in such cases. It gives you 5 input and 3 output channels of level shifting and takes care of the high/negative voltage generation all in a low-cost...

This cable will let you get rid of all those wall adapters you have stashed in the plastic bin in the basement. Instead of multiple wall warts with different power and current capabilities, this cable will convert any USB Type C power adapter with Power Delivery (PD) support into a 5V DC power port, at up to 5 Amps output! Inside the cable is a PD sink negotiation...

The ESP32-C6 is Espressif’s first Wi-Fi 6 SoC integrating 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 (LE) and the 802.15.4 protocol. It brings the goodness you know from the low-cost C3 series and improves it with Zigbee/802.15.4 at 2.4Ghz. That means it could make for great Matter development hardware! We took our Feather ESP32-S2 and swapped out the 'S2 for a C6. Plus some...

What a cutie pie! Or is it... a QT Py? This diminutive dev board features the powerful CH32V203 low-cost processor that's all the trend: based on RISC-V and cheaper than an 8-bit core! This little one is a great way to get started in the CH32x processor family, with everything you need to build many USB-based projects at an excellent price. The CH32V203G6 has a...

The HUSB238 USB PD sink chip is neat in that you can either use switches (really, resistor selection) to set the desired PD voltage or use I2C for dynamic querying and setting. We already stock a simple Adafruit USB Type C Power Delivery Dummy Breakout board around the HUSB238, but that one requires soldering closed jumpers to select the voltage. For folks who want a...
