FeatherWing of the Day: Adafruit Teensy 3.x Feather Adapter #WingOfTheDay
The Adafruit Feather ecosystem is so rich with hardware diversity, we wanted to share them, one each day. Today is the Teensy 3.x Feather Adapter.
Oh man, is this not the best thing ever? You can now use the awesome Teensy 3 with any and all of our FeatherWings or Feather accessories and even get built-in LiPoly charging!
This Feather adapter rearranges the pins of a Teensy 3.x to give you the same shape and pinout for our Feathers. We’ve tested our FeatherWings so far and all are drop-in compatible. It’s a great way to take advantage of the Feather ecosystem. Give your Teensy a stepper/DC motor driver, GPS, LED matrix or OLED add-on with ease. With the space left over, we even added in a 500mA LiPoly charger that automatically charges over USB and will switch over to the LiPo when USB is unplugged. There’s also a 100K resistor divider for monitoring the battery voltage connected to A7
Comes with one assembled adapter, shorty headers for attaching your Teensy 3, and both standard and stacking headers so you can use your Teensy in a breadboard and even plug a shield on top. Some soldering is required!

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.
