Adafruit is celebrating Lunar New Year 🐍 Wednesday 1/29/2025. In combination with MLKDay, shipping could be delayed. Please allow extra time for your order to ship!
This is the cutest little USB C microSD Card Reader/Writer, but don’t be fooled by its adorableness! Simply pop the card into the edge and plug it into your computer or device. No drivers are required; it shows up as a standard ‘Mass Storage’ device under any OS. You can swap cards while the USB port is used.
Create a 3D Art Deco-like Cat Lamp with this beautifully designed soldering kit from our maker friends down under, Elkai Education. When assembled and powered on, the lamp turns on when the surroundings get dark thanks to a light sensor.
PicoSystem is a pocket-sized handheld games console, built around Raspberry Pi’s RP2040 chip (that’s the little fella that’s the core of a Raspberry Pi Pico). Build custom games in a cute system featuring a dual core microcontroller that can be programmed even by beginners – with a color screen and full controller setup. This handsome portable is great for folks who want to write video games or interactive art – and it can be coded in C, MicroPython thanks to Pimoroni’s great tutorials and examples.
The Raspberry Pi Build HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) is a new add-on board for your Raspberry Pi. It connects to the 40-pin GPIO header and can be used to control up to four LEGO Technic motors and sensors from the LEGO Education SPIKE Portfolio.
The PiCam Module is the mechanical solution to connect a ‘standard’ Raspberry Pi camera to a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 board, without a big dev board. Perfect for making simple camera/vision boards.
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is the latest product in Raspberry Pi’s most affordable range of single-board computers. The successor to the breakthrough Raspberry Pi Zero W, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a form factor–compatible drop-in replacement for the original board.

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 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
