VeloKey is a Bicycle Keyboard to Navigate the World of #Zwift @GoZwift
Let’s face it, indoor training kinda sucks. But our friends at Zwift.com have made it suck a lot less. Actually they made it kinda fun. Zwift allows you to ride with real friends and cyber friends from in a virtual world. You interact with the environment with (besides your bike) a keyboard, a mouse and a phone app. It is great as is, but we’ve come up with a more intuitive interface we call VeloKey.
1.8″ Color TFT LCD display with MicroSD Card Breakout – ST7735R: Beguiled by a fancy new chip that is only available in a SOIC or MSOP/(T)SSOP pinout? This breakout PCB set will make your life much much easier and get you prototyping faster than ever. One side has a 8-TSSOP/8-MSOP pin out with traces going to two rows of 0.1″ spaced holes, the other has 8-SOIC. Solder your chip to either side and you’re ready to rock on any solderless breadboard.

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.
