Binho, maker of the Nova USB multiprotocol USB host adapter, has released two interface boards to make it easier to work with breadboards and boards in the Feather form factor.
The breadboard breakout provides a small, easy to use board which fits the center channel of common breadboards. This makes wiring to other devices much easier. Shown below is the adapter used in a project by Jeremy Cook interfacing to the Adafruit .54” Quad Alphanumeric FeatherWing display. The display communicates with the world via I2C, and in Jeremy’s opinion “represents one of the most interesting use cases for the Binho USB Host adapter: sending I2C (and likely SPI) signals directly.”
The Qwiic connect board makes it a snap to use breakout boards with Qwiic, STEMMA QT or Seeed Studio Grove connectors.
Finally, the Feather Interface Board provides a Feather form factor interface to plug onto Feather compatible boards or onto a multi FeatherWing adapter.

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.
