Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
I’m working on a pedometer project for my dog, with a Flora, a neopixel ring, and a flora LSM303. The Hardware is pretty much done, but I wondered if you have any tips on the “activity” detection on the programming side.
Are LCD displays (like the Standard LCD 16×2 in the shop) compatible with FLORA? I want to attach a temperature and humidity sensor (DHT22 or DHT11) to a jacket and display the data on the coat somehow. LCD display is the only thing I can think of (that currently exists) which could do this. If you have any other suggestions for a display please let me know!
