Sprockets, wheels, and gears, oh my! We really like our DC gear motors (a.k.a "TT Motor") but unless you have a 3D printer it can be a challenge to get something attached to the axle. That's why we've got this TT Motor Hub - it snaps onto the end and gives you two big flanges with holes. It's a very good solution to quickly and easily mount custom wheels, cardboard & wood, or other mechanisms to your robot project....

Perhaps you've been assembling a new robot friend, adding a computer for a brain and other fun personality touches.

We've been looking for a display like this for a long time - it's only 1.5" diagonal but has a high density 220 ppi, 240x240 pixel display with full-angle viewing. It looks a lot like our 1.44" 128x128 display, but has 4x as many pixels and looks great at any angle. We've seen displays of this caliber used in smartwatches and small electronic devices but they've always been MIPI interface. Finally, we found one that is...

This fancy and ultra-adjustable PCB holder was recommended to us by Collin, who is not only a master at soldering but also has impeccable taste in furnishings, so we just had to get these in stock.

We sure love the ATmega328 here at Adafruit, and we use them  a lot  for our own projects. The processor has plenty of GPIO, Analog inputs, hardware UART SPI and I2C, timers and PWM galore - just enough for most simple projects. When we need to go small, we use a Metro Mini or a Trinket M0, but when size isn't as much of a concern, we reach for an Adafruit METRO. This is the  Adafruit METRO with headers.   It...

The Raspberry Pi is a wonderful little computer, but one thing it isn't very good at is controlling Servo Motors - these motors need very specific and repetitive timing pulses to set the position. Instead of asking the Pi Linux kernel to send these signals, pop on this handy bonnet! It adds the capability to control 16 Servos with perfect timing. It can also do PWM up to 1.6 KHz with 12 bit precision, all completely free-running. For use...

This little sensor looks an  awful lot  like the popular DHT11/DHT22 temperature and humidity sensors, but unlike classic DHT sensors, it has an I2C interface! That's right, you do not need to use a bit-bang timing-specific protocol to talk to the AM2320, it uses plain-old-I2C. Whew, that makes things a little easier, doesn't it? But!  We'll let you know, this sensor is not well documented like our other, fancier I2C...
