Hello Adafruit!
I’ve been interested in digital electronics since high school in the 90s,
though I never got past simple dabbling and tinkering with arduinos. I
recently discovered micropython, and it all of a sudden opened up a whole
world of opportunities for me. I code python professionally, so now that I
can use that on an MCU, it takes away a big pain point – now I can focus on
troubleshooting the hardware aspects, knowing that the software side is
fine. It was extremely challenging when both sides were a learning curve.Anyway, I’ve been discovering the wealth of knowledge available on your
site, your excellent youtube channel, and your incredible products. I like
everything about your business, it’s truly inspiring and I’m excited to get
re-hooked on electronics knowing I’ve got such a great resource around. I
can’t wait for my 2-month old daughter to start being able to learn
electronics and science – and you guys even have kids books!!Thank you, Lady Ada and your whole team, for being totally awesome!
-Dan
PS – I have a dog named Ada (ala Lovelace, but now also I’ll count it as
homage to Adafruit)

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.
