Adafruit 1.3″ 240×240 Wide Angle IPS TFT Display

This is a screen for advanced hackers who like the look of the TFT screen we’ve put into the Adafruit CLUE and Adafruit Mini PiTFT 1.3″. The 1.3″ display has 240×240 16-bit full-color pixels and is an IPS display, so the color looks great up to 80 degrees off-axis in any direction. The TFT driver (ST7789) is very similar to the popular ST7735, and our Arduino library supports it well.

SparkFun Qwiic / Stemma QT FeatherWing (Shield for Thing Plus)

The SparkFun Qwiic FeatherWing (Shield for Thing Plus) provides an easy-to-assemble way to add the STEMMA QT / Qwiic connect ecosystem to any development board with Feather/Thing Plus Footprint. It connects the I2C bus (GND, 3.3V, SDA, and SCL) on your Feather to four SparkFun Qwiic / Stemma QT connectors. The plug-n-play ecosystem allows for easy daisy chaining so, as long as your devices are on different addresses, you can connect as many Qwiic & Stemma QT devices as you’d like.

FTDI Serial TTL-232 USB Type C Cable – 5V Power / 3.3V Logic

Just about all electronics use a UART serial port with RX and TX pins for debugging, bootloading, programming, serial output, etc. But it’s rare for a computer to have a serial port anymore. Thus, a serial cable is an essential part of any electrical engineer’s toolkit.

Adafruit FT232H Breakout – General Purpose USB to GPIO, SPI, I2C – USB C & Stemma QT

Wouldn’t it be cool to drive a tiny OLED display, read a color sensor, or even just flash some LEDs directly from your computer? Sure you can program an Arduino or Trinket to talk to these devices and your computer, but why can’t your computer just talk to those devices and sensors itself? Well, now your computer can talk to devices using the Adafruit FT232H breakout board!
