NEW GUIDE: Adafruit SPI FLASH Breakouts #AdafruitLearningSystem #Adafruit @adafruit @blitzcitydiy
If you just need a megabyte or two of extra storage for a project, we recommend an Adafruit SPI FLASH Breakout. The breakout is single-channel SPI only, but it comes with level shifting so it can be used safely with 3V or 5V power and logic. You can address them as a flat memory space or, if you like, format them with a filesystem like littleFS or FAT.
The Adafruit SPI Flash Breakouts guide has everything you need to get started with using these SPI flash breakouts. There’s pages for overview, pinouts, Arduino and download resources.
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.
