the device is available in two models that appear as miniature representations of forms seen throughout time: a steering wheel and a kitchen sink handle. these are geometries that have been replicated and reproduced because they work with an understanding of the human hand, enhancing any grip applied to them. in addition, the designers have realized that they provide another layer of functionality. based on the observation that carbonation constantly leaks through the rim of a bottle in small increments, the wide ring structure of the ‘sodavalve’ can establish a based when turned upside down to fully seal its contents and thus, prevent the beverage from turning into flat sugar water.
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, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, 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.
