We dig the sleek lines and satisfying heft of this aluminum case. Handsomely designed and thoughtfully constructed with a built-in heat sink, this Flirc enclosure boasts both form and function. The sides are aluminum, and the top and bottom are soft silicone for a nice and easy-to-clean case that looks great next to your A/V system and also lets WiFi signals through.
Included are rubber feet to raise the enclosure so it hovers underneath your Pi. In addition to a heat sink, small ventilation slots on the bottom help keep the Raspberry Pi running cool. GPIO pins are accessible through the slot on the bottom of the case, and there is no need to disassemble to access the SD card.
8-6-2021 (August 6, 2021) is the Snakiest day of the year and it’s also this year’s CircuitPython Day! The day highlights all things CircuitPython and Python on Hardware. See you there!
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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
