An exotic new microphone has arrived in the Adafruit shop, a PDM MEMS Microphone ! PDM is the 'third' kind of microphone you can integrate with electronics, apart from analog or I2S. These microphones are very commonly used in products, but are rarely seen in maker projects. Still, they have some benefits so we thought we'd offer a breakout for the shop. The first thing to note is that this sensor does not provide an 'analog'...

This 9-pin cable is just about 100mm / 4" long and fitted with JST-SH female connectors on both ends. Compared with chunkier JST-PH these are 1mm pitch instead of 2mm, but still have a nice latching feel and are easy to insert and remove. We got these especially for our fantastically spooky Adafruit MONSTER M4SK in case you'd like to split the mask in two and re-wire! For more information about JST SH...

You'll get the same quality display as our Raspberry Pi Eyes kit but without needing to tote around a full Linux...

You've got secrets, and you want to keep them safe? Most microcontrollers are not designed to protect against snoopers, but a crypto-authentication chip can be used to lock away private keys securely. Once the private key is saved inside, it can't be read out, all you can do is send it challenge-response queries. That means that even if someone gets hold of your hardware and can read back the firmware, they wont be able to extract the...

Here's a hand-held-size rechargeable battery pack for your Raspberry Pi (or Metro, or anything else that uses 5V!). This pack is intended for providing a lot of power to a smartphone, tablet, etc, but we found it does a really good job of powering other miniature computers and micro-controllers. If you want even more power, we have a 10,000mAh power pack with two USB ports that can provide up to 2A!  Inside is a...

These surface-mount LEDs are an easy way to add a lot of colorful dots to your project. They're similar to the ones in our analog RGB LED strip, same size and shape. They are half a centimeter on a side, which makes them small but not so small that they are impossible to hand solder. There are three LEDs inside, red green and blue and because they are so close together, they mix very nicely, without the need for a diffuser. The LED is also...

This tiny little servo can rotate approximately 180 degrees (90 in each direction), and works just like the standard kinds you're used to but  smaller . You can use any servo code, hardware or library to control these servos. Good for beginners who want to make stuff move without building a motor controller with feedback & gear box, especially since it will fit in small places. Of course, it's not nearly as strong as a standard...

If you're building a IoT project and need to send data back-and-forth, the WiFi module built into newer Pi's should be fine for most cases. But, what if you find WiFi does not have a long range you need? If you're deploying your project somewhere more remotely, without WiFi or a strong cellular network, like a rural area, you'll need another option. Something that can be deployed quickly with no overhead setup and that will...
