New products – MicroSD, Red & Black LCD, Patch shield for Arduino…
It’s BIG week! We have some new products – MicroSD, Red & Black LCD, Patch shield for Arduino… Viewable in the new products section or below! Let’s get it on —
Patch shield for Arduino – v1.0 – The patch shield is a cross between a patch panel/bay and a Wingshield. Its designed for times when you want to have remote sensors, or a control panel, or LEDs, or…practically anything where you want to avoid doing a lot of icky wiring!
The shield comes with 4 breadboard-friendly satellite headers. To connect, use any off-the-shelf Ethernet cable. On the shield itself, the sockets act as a patch bay so you can quickly try out different wiring schemes. We think this design will come in handy!

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.

Wow – great additions to the store. The patch shield is one of those “why didn’t I think of that!” things!
thats why we were so excited when we saw it – Mike Stone (yawp) did a great job!
DIYers may want to simply hook a bunch of dollar store phone jacks into a wooden box but this product would add great “polish” to any product.
It’s great to see adafruit carrying more arduino shields!
