… the “Adafruit OLED Breakout Board…. features a 1.27” diagonal OLED display, with a grid of 128×96 RGB pixels. The pixels have a 16-bit resolution, allowing for a theoretical tonal range of 65,536 unique colours. And, since it’s an OLED and does not require a backlight, the blacks are really black, and the contrast is very high.
Despite its small size, you get a lot of clarity and functionality. And, there is a nice surprise when you flip the
board over. A built-in microSD card holder. This allows you to access an image from a microSD card, and display it via an SPI interface. Simple!
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.
