Slide Switch Mount for LEGO-Compatible Brick Systems
What do you do when you want to add LEGO-compatible bricks and parts to your robotics project? Instead of hot glue and epoxy and hope, you can use a nicely designed and resin-printed mounting shape. This Slide Switch Mount for LEGO-Compatible Brick Systems will fit our Breadboard-friendly SPDT Slide Switch securely with lots of dots on the bottom so you can mechanize your build easily.
Just place your switch, secure it with a dab of glue or paste if desired, and it’s ready to adapt to the standard LEGO-compatible parts. The switch itself is not included, this is just the plastic piece!
Adafruit Feather Mount for LEGO-Compatible Brick Systems
Add your favorite Adafruit development board to your next brick-build with the Adafruit Feather Mount for LEGO-Compatible Brick Systems. This does exactly what it says on the tin: if you have one of our ‘standard sized’ 2″x0.9″ Feather or Featherwing boards, you will be able to snap-attach it nice and flat to any LEGO-compatible brick plates. This lets you skip the hot glue, epoxy, tape for a lovely secure build.
Just place your Feather or Wing, secure it with screws (Stainless / steel M2.5x6mm or M2x6 screws will work well) then snap on. Feather and screws are not included, this is just the plastic piece
Raspberry Pi AI Camera with Sony IMX500
The Raspberry Pi AI Camera is a compact camera module from Raspberry Pi based on the Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor. IMX500 combines a 12-megapixel CMOS image sensor with on-board inferencing acceleration for various common neural network models, enabling users to develop sophisticated vision-based AI applications without needing a separate accelerator.
The AI Camera transparently augments captured still images or video with tensor metadata, leaving the processor in the host Raspberry Pi free to perform other operations. Support for tensor metadata in the libcamera and Picamera2 libraries, and in the rpicam-apps application suite, make it easy for beginners to use while offering advanced users unparalleled power and flexibility.
ScoutMakes DRV5032 Digital Magnetic Hall Effect Sensor
This is a breakout for the Texas Instruments DRV5032 Digital Magnetic Hall Effect Sensor. It is the perfect way to add magnetic sensing to your project. The sensor has a digital output that indicates when the magnetic flux density threshold has been crossed. The device integrates a Hall effect element, analog signal conditioning, and a low-frequency oscillator that enables ultra-low average power consumption. By operating from a 1.65-V to 5.5-V supply, the device periodically measures magnetic flux density, updates the output, and enters a low-power sleep state.
Adafruit RP2350 22-pin FPC HSTX to DVI Adapter for HDMI Displays
You may have noticed that our RP2350 Feather has an FPC output connector on the end for accessing the HSTX (High Speed Transmission) peripheral. This new capability, not available on the RP2040, is specifically designed to allow the RP2350 chip drive DVI displays really easily! Historically you could use DVI on the RP2040 by mashing together some overclocking and a lot of PIO – it works but its quite hacky. The HSTX peripheral is streamlined, and doesn’t require PIO or overclocking and there’s a lot more RAM on the RP2350.
