You've installed WipperSnapper firmware on your board and connected it to Adafruit IO. Next, let's learn how to use Adafruit IO!
The Adafruit IO supports a large number of components. Components are physical parts such as buttons, switches, sensors, servos, LEDs, RGB LEDs, and more.
The following pages will get you up and running with WipperSnapper as you interact with your board's LED, read the value of a push button, send the value of an I2C sensor to the internet, and wirelessly control colorful LEDs.
Parts
The following parts are required to complete the WipperSnapper essentials pages for this board:
- An I2C sensor like the MCP9808 temperature sensor.
The MCP9808 digital temperature sensor is one of the more accurate/precise we've ever seen, with a typical accuracy of ±0.25°C over the sensor's -40°C to...

You can substitute your sensor for the suggested MCP9808 used in this guide, see your product's learn guide for WipperSnapper instructions tailored specifically to that sensor / component.
If you don't have one then you can test I2C functionality using the onboard I2C battery monitor.
- Cable or set of wires to connect your I2C component (like our handy StemmaQT cables for I2C)
This 4-wire cable is 50mm / 1.9" long and fitted with JST SH female 4-pin connectors on both ends. Compared with the chunkier JST PH these are 1mm pitch instead of 2mm, but...

- A variable resistance component, like a rotary potentiometer or light-dependent resistor
For the easiest way possible to measure twists, turn to this STEMMA potentiometer breakout (ha!). This plug-n-play pot comes with a JST-PH 2mm connector and a matching
