The certification site includes a full list of all of the certified open source hardware. Here is all of the hardware that was certified in January, which comes from Australia, Ecuador, India, Japan, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States. The hardware from Ecuador and Turkey are the first pieces of certified open source hardware from those countries.
Worth noting a trend… Feather format, AND/OR supporting CircuitPython continues to be popular in industry as well as open-source hardware communities.
PewPew M4 from Switzerland is a game console for teaching programming using CircuitPython.
The UWB Feather incorporates the Decawave DWM1000 module and an ATSAMD21 ARM Corex M0 into the Adafruit feather form-factor.
Orange Crab is an FPGA development platform featuring a Lattice ECP5 FPGA, DDR3 memory in an Adafruit Feather Form Factor.
The 2020 Open Hardware Summit Badge is a wrist-watch form-factor badge for the 2020 Open Hardware Summit (March 13 in NYC). It has a Nordic nRF52840 microcontroller capable of running CircuitPython.
Other places we look at to see where things are trending:
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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.
