First:
Do you know how wonderful it is to have quality made properly palated
though holes on a circuit board? I suspect you do because your boards
are so nice that I almost hate to solder them and spoil your art work.
I eventually do solder them and end up with reliable projects that
could not exist without the ruggid design of your boards.
thank you so much for the excellent, practical engineering!
Second:
Even though I buy other things besides Ninjaflex from you, I was
inspired to get into 3d printing because of Adabot, circuit
playground, and more of your videos than I care to admit. I’ve
managed to get my printrbot simple metal to sufficient karma that I’m
doing my version(s) of things inspired by your projects and 3d
Thursdays.
thank you so much for the fun!
Third:
I enjoy it when Lady Ada shares background on break outs and other
products during the new product segment. She explains the why and
typical use of the new items that makes many of them more approachable
and useful for various projects.
This old EE appreciates the brain share.

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.
