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.

Turn an IKEA Pumpkin LED lamp into a distance sensing prop that plays music and sound effects!

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.

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.

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.

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.

What a cutie pie! Or is it... a QT Py? This diminutive dev board features the powerful CH32V203 low-cost processor that's all the trend: based on RISC-V and cheaper than an 8-bit core! This little one is a great way to get started in the CH32x processor family, with everything you need to build many USB-based projects at an excellent price.

The ESP32-C6 is Espressif's first WiFi 6 SoC integrating 2.4 GHz WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5 (LE) and the 802.15.4 protocol. We took our Feather ESP32-S2 and swapped out the 'S2 for a C6. Plus some re-routing and here's what we've got: a C6 Feather with lots of GPIO, lipoly charging and monitoring with the MAX17048, NeoPixel, I2C Stemma QT port, and a second low-quiescent LDO for disabling the I2C and NeoPixel when we want ultra-low power usage.

Make a sign to countdown the days of CircuitPython!

The Adafruit RS232 Full-Pinout Breakout with 8 Channels of UART to RS-232 Level Shifters is your friend. It gives you 5 input and 3 output channels of level shifting and takes care of the high/negative voltage generation all in a low-cost breakout board. We use the trusty MAX3243 from TI, a classic chip part of the MAX232 lineage, so you know it will work great for all your RS-232 needs, up to 250Kbps.

In this year of chaos and calamity, one day on the horizon fills us with hope: CircuitPython Day 2024! Countdown to the snakiest day of the year (August 16, 2024) with, what else? A CircuitPython project! In this project you'll use a Feather RP2040 DVI board, along with an Adalogger FeatherWing, to calculate down to the second how much longer you have to wait for this year's festivities.

A CircuitPython project! In this project you'll use a Feather ESP32-S3 TFT board to get time from the internet and calculate down to the second how much longer you have to wait for this year's festivities.

The HUSB238 USB PD sink chip is neat in that you can either use switches (really, resistor selection) to set the desired PD voltage or use I2C for dynamic querying and setting. We already stock a simple Adafruit USB Type C Power Delivery Dummy Breakout board around the HUSB238, but that one requires soldering closed jumpers to select the voltage. For folks who want a no-soldering-required board, this Adafruit USB Type C Power Delivery Dummy - I2C or Switchable is ready for instant gratification. No soldering required!
