Feather RP2350 Audio Reactive Video Synth
The Feather RP2350 with HSTX makes one of our project dreams come true: a CircuitPython-powered video synth! The Feather runs CircuitPython code that outputs graphics from HSTX to DVI. A PDM microphone takes in audio data to let the animations be audio reactive. There are three different animations to choose from. You can change which one is selected with the seesaw rotary encoder and control different parameters with the three analog potentiometers.
NFC Raspberry Pi Media Player
You can build a movie library using a Raspberry Pi 5, Adafruit's NFC breakout and NFC cards. This project runs Python code with Blinka, the CircuitPython compatibility library for single-board computers running Linux, to create a script that allows you to use NFC cards to launch movies in the VLC media player.
Adafruit Pixel Shifter
The Adafruit Pixel Shifter can be easily wired in-line to your LED strips or grids or any other shape configuration they come in. On-board is a tiny 5V voltage generator, two shifters and one inverter. Provide it 3-5V power (it only needs a few milliamps) and it will shift up to two signal lines, with one of them also available as an inverted output. All pins are available on 0.1" terminal blocks, use a small flathead screw to attach your solid or stranded core wire, 18AWG to 26AWG.

Adafruit INA3221 Breakout
This breakout board will solve all your multi-rail power-monitoring problems. Instead of struggling with up to 6 multimeters, you can just use the handy INA3221 chip on this breakout to both measure both the high side voltage and DC current draw of up to three power supplies over I2C with +/-1% precision.
QT Py CH32V203 eInk / ePaper Daily Calendar and Clock
Love daily calendars but cringe at the 365 pages of paper waste? This project lets you have a smol electronic version. You'll use a CH32V203 QT Py with its EYESPI BFF to display the date and time on an eInk display. The time is kept with a DS3231 STEMMA real-time clock breakout. Even though the CH32V203 QT Py is for more advanced users, it still plays well with the BFF breakout buddies.
DIY Turbo Button Controller - HID Remapper
In this project, you'll use a Feather RP2040 USB Host to listen for a specific button combination from your attached gamepad to trigger "turbo mode" aka rapidly sending A button presses. Otherwise, the Feather acts as a passthrough for your controller, sending all of your gamepad inputs as pressed.
Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom Tri Rod
The Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom Tri Rod features motion activated LED animations and sound effects powered by CircuitPython and the Prop-Maker Feather RP2040.
Adafruit RP2350 22-pin FPC HSTX to DVI Adapter
If you want to try out HSTX to drive an HDMI monitor or display, this dongle is what you need to take HSTX out and give you a connector with proper level shifting and signal conditioning. Simply connect a 22 pin FPC cable between the Feather RP2350 and Adafruit RP2350 22-pin FPC HSTX to DVI Adapter for HDMI Displays then load DVI output code. In CircuitPython, we have support for 320x240 pixels at 16-bit color, which gets pixel doubled to 640x480. Or, if you're willing to cut some colorspace to save RAM, you can get true 640x480 resolution at 4 / 8 bit color, or 1 / 2 bit grayscale.
Use Apple HomeKit Devices with itsaSNAP and Adafruit IO
Have you ever looked at your various Apple HomeKit devices and thought "if only I could monitor and control my devices in Adafruit IO"? Now you can with the help of the itsaSNAP app. You can use Apple Shortcuts with itsaSNAP to integrate your Apple HomeKit devices with Adafruit IO. You can go even further and use CircuitPython to display and control your devices with your Adafruit IO feeds.

Qualia S3 iOS Photo Display with itsaSNAP
In this project, you'll setup an Apple Shortcut to use Base64 encoding to send a photo to your Adafruit IO feed. A Qualia S3 running CircuitPython code will retrieve the photo from the feed using MQTT, decode it and show it on a beautiful 720x720 round display. Experiment with different photo sets and filters to create your perfectly curated digital photo display.
Adafruit Feather RP2350 with HSTX
RP2350 flies high with the Feather format - now you can use any FeatherWings with this battery-powered dev board. It comes with 8MB of flash, 22pin HSTX output port, Stemma QT, debug SWD, and optional PSRAM spot. It's our first RP2350 board and we crammed a ton of goodies into our classic Feather format. It's an excellent starter board to go along with your Pico 2.
Adafruit DS2482S-800 8 Channel I2C to 1-Wire Bus Adapter
This is a DS2482S-800 Stemma QT board that uses a I2C-to-1W controller chip, with 8 selectable channels, built-in parasitic-power-pullups, adjustable I2C address and a wide operating voltage range! You can easily connect it to an existing I2C bus and then use the breakout pads to attach multiple DS18B20's, or pair it with 1-Wire chaining breakouts for fancier experimentation.
ESP32-S3 BLE RS-232 Controller
Bring your RS232 gear into modern times by adding BLE support. In this project, you'll use an ESP32-S3 Feather running CircuitPython to connect to the Adafruit Bluefruit Connect app over BLE. The control pad in the app will send commands over UART to the RS232 breakout, letting you wirelessly control your RS232 device.
