As USB technology evolves you’ll want the One Cable To Sync/Charge All Things (or, at least, portable devices with Micro-B, Type C, or Lightning ports) and this cable will do the job nicely.
This very nice USB 3-in-1 Charging Cable looks like woven mithril forged from the Mines of Moria. It’s a very handy item to have on a quest because everyone in the Fellowship wants to charge their phones at the Prancing Pony. And, what to do when everyone’s phone has a different connector and, unsurprisingly, a Brandybuck and a fool of a Took forgot to pack theirs? Luckily, you can charge a wide variety of smartphones and devices with this cable, iPhones, Android, Metro M0 Express, etc!
Unlike most cables, these are not just charging cables, but also work as data-sync cables, for iOS, Android and other devices. The clever adapter caps make setup easy, just stack whichever connector you need!
Adafruit has had paid day off for voting for our team for years, if you need help getting that going for your organization, let us know – we can share how and why we did this as well as the good results. Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote
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.
