Adafruit Feather 328P
Classic ATmega328p tech with the new modern Feathers
by lady ada
With this Feather we're getting a little nostalgic for the ATmega328P - the classic 'Arduino' chip - with this Adafruit Feather 328P running a 3.3V and 8 MHz. Feather is the new development board from Adafruit, and like it's namesake it is thin, light, and lets you fly! We designed Feather to be a new standard for portable microcontroller cores.

Adafruit nRF52 Pro Feather with Mynewt
Take your Bluetooth LE projects to the next level with the mynewt RTOS
by lady ada
The Adafruit Feather nRF52 Pro ships pre-programmed with the Mynewt serial bootloader that allows you to flash firmware to the device directly from the command-line using the on-board USB Serial converter and the 'newtmgr' tool, so you can get started right away with no additional hardware required. For more advanced debugging, however, you can use a Segger J-Link and the on-board SWD debug connector, which gives you access to a more powerful set of development tools and options.

Remote Effects Trigger Box
Build this powerful RF Feather-based controller to wirelessly trigger props, lights, effects, and more!
by John Park
Using 900Mhz (or 425Mhz) RF for long-range communications between the transmitter and the receivers, this general purpose controller will make your wireless triggering wishes come true! Plus, you get to use a rotary encoder knob to scroll menu sets, and punch in your commands on the lighted 4x4 Trellis keypad.
Coffee Detonator: The TNT Plunger Grinder
Use a high-voltage AC power source to trigger a Feather microcontroller-driven coffee grinder.
by John Park
This guide will show you how a magneto, generator, or other AC power source can be safely converted into a small DC signal easily read by an Arduino-compatible microcontroller. Then, the microcontroller can trigger a 120V relay to turn on any appliance!

Magic Wand
A Magic Wand responds to movement to cast spells
by Alex Alves
This project turns a toy hammer into a magic wand that produces different sound and light effects depending on the spell cast based on simple gesture recognition. The amount of components in this project combined with the small room requires a bit of cramfu to get all the parts to fit. The compact nature of this project and the number of components means it's a best for a somewhat experienced maker.

Level Shifting 3.3V microcontrollers and NeoPixels
Level shifters are like little bilingual translators for your electronics!
by John Park
NeoPixels rule! But, they expect 5V logic, which can cause them to act funny when controlled by 3v3 boards, such as Feathers, M0-based Arduinos, Teensy 3, and others. Not to worry! A level shifter can translate 3v3 logic to 5V and get things talking again in no time!
Using Bluefruit BLE to Give Disabled Users Switch Control Access to IOS Devices
Build an inexpensive Bluetooth device to give a disable user access to their iPad or iPhone
by Chris Young
A physical disability can make it impossible to operate a touchscreen device such as an iPhone or iPad. Commercially available switch control devices can cost several hundred dollars but with the power of Adafruit Bluefruit BLE devices you can build an interface for a fraction of that cost. We show you how in this tutorial.

Schluff - The Sleep Monitor
Find the ideal conditions for a good nights rest
by Michael Sklar
Schluff is a Yiddish word which means to take a short nap. This project is about finding the ideal environment for quality sleep by monitoring different conditions and biometric data. Ideally, the data from this device would be overlayed with a wrist-based fitness tracker for additional revelations. Schluff records the following: temperature, humidity, light, noise and heart rate. The collected data is sent from a Feather 32u4 (Arduino compatible) over to an iOS device or macOS laptop using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). The BLE catchers can save the data locally or relay it up to adafruit.io for storage and graphing.
MAC Address Finder
Quickly find the MAC address on devices where doing so isn't so easy.
by Ron Dear
In most situations finding the MAC address of a wireless device is fairly straightforward. However, there are some things like smart TVs, IOT devices, gaming consoles, etc. that either don't display that MAC or have it hidden in a mess of on-screen menus. This device broadcasts a wireless network without a password. Connect any wireless device to it and once the connection is made the MAC address of the device will be displayed on the small OLED screen.
