Oh noes! Pedro and I have been preparing for Hurricane Matthew’s arrival, which is supposed to make landfall sometime this evening. Unfortunately, that means we won’t be live streaming 3D hangouts today. But not to worry! This gives you a chance to catch up with previous shows – Last week was massive! We were in NYC for #WMF16 and had several folks from Adafruit’s remote team on as special guests.
Shortly after setting up our hurricane shutters, Pedro thought it’d be a good idea to bring out the Phantom 4 and capture some drone footage before the storm hits (could be useful for insurance purposes as well). We’re a bit west of West Palm Beach, but expecting to get quite a few inches of rain and lots of wind – fingers crossed we don’t sustain too much damage! If ya’ll are curious, you can follow Pedro and myself on Instagram and Twitter for updates.

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 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
