The Adafruit Playground has over 100 notes — Thank you!
Hi everyone, this is Sheehan, one of the lead developers for the Adafruit Learning System and now the Adafruit Playground. Over the last few months, my team and I have been working to bring you the loved features of the Adafruit Learning System editor. We were unsure where this project was heading when we started, but now we are proud to bring you the Adafruit Playground.
Have you heard of the Adafruit Playground? It is a new, creative, safe space where makers and doers can share and learn. Have a cool project you are working on? Have a bit of code that you think others will find useful? Want to show off your electronics workbench? Then head on over to the Adafruit Playground and create a new note to share your passion with our incredible and supportive community.
And now, the Adafruit Playground has hit a significant milestone! Over 45 authors have shared over 100 notes with the community. Thank you to all the authors for contributing your work and making this such a vibrant and inspiring space.
The Adafruit Playground is still under active development, and we have some exciting features and updates in the pipeline. Some of the most recently released features are the ability to search and bookmark notes. Make sure to check back frequently for new content and improved features. One to be on the lookout for is the ability to download PDF and JSON versions of notes so you can take your content anywhere. Please enjoy what we have shared, and I look forward to continuing this creative journey with you.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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!
