The Silicon Valley eFlea electronic flea market was June 11. This is the flea market that Jim Williams was supposed to make, the day before he died. Bob Pease also kept promising me he would come down for one like he did last year, but he died a week later. So in honor of Bob and Jim, here are a bunch of pictures that I snapped at the June 11, 2011 eFlea. The next eFlea is July 9, 2011. Even if you don’t want to get there at 6:00 AM like we do, you can drop over for breakfast afterwards at Bobbi’s in Cupertino, around 9:30. We pretty much take over the outside patio.
Pictured above, a gaggle of air-dielectric variable capacitors.

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.

Plus a couple roller inductors in the back, left. Clean stuff!
Ooooo, lookie… huge ice-cube trays!
Argon beat me to it, but those inductors would sure make great roller antenna tuners!
