I just wanted to thank you for the prompt service on my order, and the extra freebies of the Trinket and Trinket Pro!
My old Arduino Uno + CC3000 got consumed by a WiFi porchlights project, and so getting the Trinket and Trinket Pro got me back in business with experimenting again quickly!
Plus, it has been so much fun working with the Led Light strips! I’m replacing some old halogen under-cabinet (where the bulbs died every month or two!) with these awesome strips, and hooking them up to my SmartThings home setup so that we can control them from our phones. Your guide on the Led Strips has been super helpful, and I was able to get everything wired up on my breadboard in no time flat.
Thanks again. I am having a blast with these things!!

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.
