# Digital Inputs with Adafruit IO WipperSnapper ## Overview ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/104/782/medium800thumb/adafruit_io_ezgif.com-gif-maker_%2816%29.jpg?1632164272) This guide is part of a series of guides that cover the basics of using Adafruit IO WipperSnapper. It will show you how to send push-button data to Adafruit IO, without writing a single line of code. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/104/938/medium800/sensors_image.png?1633043210) WipperSnapper is an interface for [Adafruit IO, Adafruit's incredibly easy-to-use IoT platform](https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-adafruit-io/what-is-adafruit-io), designed to turn any WiFi-capable board into an IoT device without programming a single line of code.  Simply load the WipperSnapper firmware onto your board, add credentials, and plug it into power. Your board will automatically register itself with your Adafruit IO account. From there, you can add _components_ to your board such as buttons, switches, potentiometers, sensors, and more! Components are _dynamically _added to hardware without the need for re-programming your board. ## Parts ### Adafruit HUZZAH32 – ESP32 Feather Board [Adafruit HUZZAH32 – ESP32 Feather Board](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3405) Aww yeah, it's the Feather you have been waiting for!
