Featured Adafruit Google+ Community Project
(Note: Google+ login required.)
Cool project from Jakob Öhman shared this week in our Community!
The goal of this project is to keep a sourdough starter alive by feeding it with flour and water over time. The feeding may be done scheduled, automated with sensors or manually. All possible thanks to this sour robot.(read more)
Featured Community Project from the Adafruit Blog
This week on the blog, we shared this beautiful five light spheres project from Lucky Resistor!
I just published the guide for the five light spheres project. An artful decoration for this winter.
It uses an Adafruit Feather M0 Basic Proto as microcontroller and 10 Flora NeoPixels to create the wonderful color combinations.read more)

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