Take Flight with Feather entries: GameWing and Keyboard FeatherWings #FeatherContest @Hackaday @DigiKey @Adafruit

The Take Flight with Feather Contest is running from now to December 31st – see all the details in the kickoff post!

We’re going to highlight entries posted on Hackaday.io two at a time. Here are today’s entries:

GameWing

By bitluni:

This simple shield provides two SNES connectors an SD card slot and RCA connectors for analog audio/video. The implementation of the Color PAL signal is completely done in software utilizing the second core to process the modulated data from the YUV frame buffer. This shield will only work with HUZZAH32 boards since the performance and the SRAM is needed.

Keyboard Featherwing

I have received the boards and assembled the first device!

If you haven’t seen the assembly thread on Twitter, I highly recommend it:

Long story short, the board is now fully verified and except a few cosmetic changes, everything seems to work fine, the LCD, the touch, the keyboard, the buttons, the neopixel, the sd card, and the accelerometer.
