Do you have too many sensors with the same I2C address? Put them on the SparkFun Qwiic Mux Breakout to get them all talking on the same bus! The Qwiic Mux Breakout enables communication with multiple I2C devices that have the same address that makes it simple to interface with. The Qwiic Mux also has eight configurable addresses of its own, allowing for up to 64 I2C buses on a connection. To make it even easier to use this multiplexer, all communication is enacted exclusively via I2C, utilizing the handy Qwiic system.

For when two (mini) HATs are better than one! A nifty prototyping tool for connecting multiple mini HATs (a.k.a. Bonnets, pHATs, Zero-HATs, etc!) to one Pi.
This HAT gives your Pi two sets of GPIO pins – very useful for attaching two mini HATs (or a HAT and a mini HAT) at the same time, great for prototyping, debugging, or for connecting a mini HAT to other circuitry.
Premium Silicone Covered Extension Jumper Wires – 200mm x 40
These premium extension jumper wires are handy for making wire harnesses or jumpering between headers on PCBs. They’re 200mm (~7.8″) long and come loose as a pack of 40 (10 pieces of red, blue, yellow, and Adafruit black).

Easy e-paper finally comes to Raspberry Pi, with this bonnet that’s designed to make it a breeze to add a 2.13″ 250×122 crisp monochromic eInk display. Chances are you’ve seen one of those new-fangled ‘e-readers’ like the Kindle or Nook.

The image is also high contrast and very daylight readable. It really does look just like printed paper!
