Hello all you lovely makers! I am very excited to introduce myself: my name is Adam Bachman, I am here to write code and chew bubblegum, and I am all out of bubblegum!
As of May 23, 2016, I am the newest member of the Adafruit team and will mainly be working with Justin, Todd, Tyler, and the rest of the incredibly talented folks making Adafruit IO the best it can be.
I’ve been a resident of Baltimore City, making my way through the world as a software developer for the last 10 years. By day building software for Fortune 500’s, startups, bootstrapped artist-loving theater makers, and a few in between. On my own time I’ve been an Adafruit customer since 2007, started a hackerspace in 2009, and I’m super into Processing and creative code in general.
You can follow me on Github or Twitter if you like, though I can’t promise to be half as interesting as the people at the middle of thisincredibleenterprise 😀
ENOUGH ABOUT ME! I look forward to connecting with anyone crossing boundaries from software to hardware and back again. Artists, makers, hobbyists, professionals, first-timers, long-timers, indie, corporate, all of you, everyone, cats, maybe not so much dogs, whoever! I am psyched to get started, let’s make amazing things!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

(Say, Adafruit, those of us that are color blind would appreciate an HTML multimeter to read the value of the capcha resistor! – OK, third time, screen cap imported into photo editor to get the color hex values!)
Ah, great quote! Speak Friend, and enter!
