I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you
specifically for the quality of your tutorials. They are top notch! I have used several of your tutorials in the past to help make progress on various projects.
There was however one that I used recently to help me solve a problem on a project that compelled me to send off this email. I was creating a revision of an existing Arduino compatible ATMEGA328 based open source project and I was looking for an easy way to perform the initial programming of the serial based boot loader into the AVR. Your [How to Make a Pogo Pin Test Jig](https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-make-a-pogo-pin-test-jig) tutorial really hit the mark. It gave me exactly the information I needed to [build my own pogo pin based programmer]…This tutorial made the project so easy that I was able
to accomplish it in an evening. Thanks so much!

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.
