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 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

  1. Well unfortunately I have to work tonight so won’t be able to catch it…some other time for sure though. The MakerBot guys rock! I definitely want one.

    Anxiously awaiting my ice tube clock! … I’ve already got a GPS module for it. Might have to wait until after Oct 1 before I have time to add the code into the clock code to talk to it though. (It’s a trimble lassen SQ I scrounged out of another device, along with an active antenna)

  2. Anyone get a log?

    ++tkx!
