NEW PRODUCT – OptiVisor – head-mounted magnifier – LX
NEW PRODUCT – OptiVisor – head-mounted magnifier – LX. Electronic parts are getting smaller and smaller, requiring good vision. To avoid eye-strain we like to don one of these OptiVisors. They’re a little dorky but they work very nicely, especially for glasses-wearers. Will improve your soldering technique overnight!
Lightweight lenses and tough materials are designed to last a lifetime.
Optical prismatic 5x magnification lenses from precision ground and highly polished molds.
Adjustable side pivots allow the visor to tilt at your fingertips.
Dial adjustment headband conforms to comfortably fit all head sizes.
Genuine leather padded comfort band with orthopedic felt for extra comfort.

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’ve been using an OptiVisor for years and it’s the most essential single tool at my bench. My eyes like it so much I can feel them crave it whenever I sit down to solder. It’s comfortable and so easy to flip up for normal vision, I forget it’s on (embarrassing around the house). With the OptiVisor, a cheap hand loupe and bright lighting, I can inspect the joints on 25-mil quad flat packs, almost as well as using a microscope. It’s great for all electronic work and essential for surface mount.
