Would you like to add audio/sound effects to your next project, without an Arduino+Shield? Or maybe you don't even know how to use microcontrollers, you just want to make a sound play whenever you press a button. What about something that has to be small...

The VL6180X (sometimes called the VL6180) is a Time of Flight distance sensor like no other you've used! The sensor contains a very tiny laser source, and a matching sensor. The VL6180X can detect the "time of flight", or how long the...

These are the best diagonal cutters, large super-comfortable grip to use and have strong nippers for perfect trimming of wires and leads. I've used my pair every day for years.

This 'pen-style' soldering iron is just about the best entry-level tool I've seen. It's not as powerful as a Weller WES51 but it is self-contained and easy to use. With proper care it will last for many years. Turn it off when not in use, clean...

A real stand with sponge and double spring prevents your iron from 'rolling away' or burning a hole in the table. If you're starting out and have a 'pen type' soldering iron, this is essential for your safety. Comes with a sponge, too! Soldering...

Power over Ethernet (PoE) splitters can make your project wiring a breeze - and best of all they work to connect any 802.3af-capable router to any Ethernet device, even if it doesn't natively support PoE! The splitter takes a unified PoE signal...

Clear 5mm tri-color LEDs with separate red, green and blue LED chips inside! Nice indicator, and fun to color-swirl. 60 degree viewing angle.  These are Common-Anode type which means you connect one pin to 5V or so and then tie the other three legs...

Wouldn't it be cool to drive a tiny OLED display, read a color sensor, or even just flash some LEDs directly from your computer?  Sure you can program an Arduino or Trinket to talk to these devices and your...

Is your house haunted? Or, rather, are you convinced that your house is haunted but have never been able to prove it since you've never had a camera that integrated with your Raspberry Pi Zero but was still small enough that the ghosts wouldn't...

Complete your Pi setup with custom designed faceplate specifically designed to fit your 2.8" PiTFT and Adafruit Pi B+ / Pi 2 case base! This Faceplate and Buttons Pack is a simple way to enclose your 2.8" PiTFT and Pi safely and in style...

Is this not the cutest little display for the Raspberry Pi? It features a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay. The plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display as a console, X...

If you're looking for the most compact li'l color display for a Raspberry Pi B+, Pi 2, & Pi 3 (most likely a Pi Zero) project, this might be just the thing you need! The Adafruit Mini PiTFT - 135x240 Color TFT Add-on for...

Add some sizzle to your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection and a capacitive touchscreen. This TFT display is big (2.8" diagonal) bright (4 white-LED backlight) and colorful...

Stack multiple plates, breakouts etc onto your Raspberry Pi Model B+ with this custom-made extra-tall and extra-long 2x20 female header. The female header part has extra spaces to make it 23.5 mm tall: when placed on your Pi, a PCB will clear the...

Are you ready? Really ready? Cause here comes the Adafruit Grand Central featuring the Microchip ATSAMD51. This dev board is so big, it's not named after a Metro train, it's a whole freakin' station! This board is like a freight...

These little cables are handy when programming or debugging a tiny board that uses 10-pin 1.27mm (0.05") pitch SWD programming connectors. We see these connectors often on ARM Cortex dev kits, and have a few handy in our ARM-dev box. We thought you may...

This adapter board is designed to make it easier to use ARM dev boards that use slimmer 2x5 (0.05"/1.27mm pitch) SWD cables for programming.  It's helpful for using products like the JTAGulator, STLink or SEGGER J-Link with...

By popular request, you can now get our 7-segment LED backpacks without the LEDs! These backpacks feature an HT16K33 I2C LED driver, they're simple and easy to use - you can use our very nice library for the backpacks to get running in under half an...

Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your resistance The more you're slip slidin' away If you're tired of the regular-old-twisty potentiometers we carry, why not slide over and try this slide pot? Most...

Handy for making wire harnesses or jumpering between headers on PCB's. These premium jumper wires are 3" (75mm) long and come in a 'strip' of 40 (4 pieces of each of ten rainbow colors). They have 0.1" male header contacts on either end and fit cleanly...
