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.

"Support for iPhone 3G & iOS 4.2" YESSS! This seriously made my evening….yep the whole evening. Thank you for supporting the old school iOS!
Thank you VERY much for iPhone 3G/iOS 4.2 support! I just bought it from the App Store.
Out of curiosity, what did you have to do to be able to support the older device/OS?
Me Three (on the iOS 4.2.1 support)!! THANK YOU!!
My iPod touch 2G is very happy, as am I.
