On Saturday, August 13, 2022 we will be working on the Adafruit Customer Support Forums. If you visit over the weekend and things are not complete yet, please check back later, https://adafruit.com/forumupdates
Josiah Zayner famed biohacker and creator of The Odin has our best interests in mind. He is now selling a glowing yeast kits that empowers brewers with blacklights to make delicious fluorescent meads and saisons. Glowing beer is just the first phase. He has a plan in the works to develop an “anti-cancer” themed beer using squalene (found in olive oil and shark oil). Josiah had been a synthetic biologist at NASA and now being a notable biohacker has attracted the FDAs attention. The FDA is questioning his glow in the dark yeast as being an unapproved food coloring additive.
Adafruit has also covered a glowing bacteria project by Josiah’s brother and head of marketing Micah Zayner.
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.
