Hallowing Minotaur Maze
Lose yourself in the Labyrinth, smoothly animated in 3D on the Hallowing display, using tricks that might have impressed Daedalus had he stuck around for microcontrollers and bitmapped graphics.
Hallowing M0 Spirit Board
Move around an invisible spirit board that can be seen only through the Hallowing M0’s display…or touch one of the capacitive pads to have the oracle spell out a message on its own.
Raspberry Pi LED Matrix Sand Toy
Use a Pi Zero, RGB Matrix Bonnet and the LIS3DH to create simulated LED sand!
FancyLED Library for CircuitPython
A library to assist in porting FastLED Arduino sketches to CircuitPython.
Animated LED Sand
Use a Feather, CharliePlex LED Matrix FeatherWing and a LIS3DH to create interactive simulated grains of sand with our 3D Printed enclosures!
Eye of Newt
Build an electronic newt eye. Keep it in a jar to scare your halloween visitors, or wear it around your neck to complete your #ElectronicHalloween costume.
JOY Controller for Adafruit Feather
Use a TFT display, feather, joystick and buttons to make a purdy controller.
Read-Only Raspberry Pi
Most microcontroller projects have an on/off switch or some quick way to cut power, while computers like the Raspberry Pi require an orderly shutdown procedure…otherwise the SD card may become corrupted and the system will no longer boot.
But what if there was a way?
DMA-Driven NeoPixels
NeoPixels don’t always play well with other code such as Arduino’s timekeeping functions or Servo library. A workaround is presented for newer development boards with the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller.
DAC Hacks for Circuit Playground Express & other ATSAMD21 Boards
The Circuit Playground Express runs on the ATSAMD21 which has a built-in DAC (digital-to-analog converter). It can be persuaded to generate black-and-white TV signals or transmit weak AM radio — without soldering any extra components!
Wonder Woman Cosplay Bracers
Use Circuit Playground's onboard accelerometer and microphone to block invisible bullets from all directions. Neopixels and side-glow acrylic create a super cool lightning effect guaranteed to protect your friends from all imaginary foes. Now where did I park my invisible plane?
Sipping Power With NeoPixels
For NeoPixel projects, careful planning and software design — instead of brute force — can yield impressive run times even with modest batteries.
Glowing Viking Rune wayFinder
3d printing and laser-cut acrylic combine with neopixels and Arduino to create a movie-worthy Viking rune artifact. Wear it as a belt buckle or cloak clasp and launch your epic cosplay deep into the lost realm of magic and fantasy.
Adafruit Joy Bonnet for Raspberry Pi
Pocket-sized fun is the name of this game, with the Joy Bonnet - our most fun Bonnet ever (no we didn't even think that was possible, either!) This Bonnet fits perfectly on top of your Raspberry Pi Zero (any kind) and gives you adorable hand-held arcade controls. Once you install our script onto your Pi, the controls will act like a keyboard, for easy use with any emulator or media player.
Adafruit Arcade Bonnet for Raspberry Pi
Playing retro games is easy on a Raspberry Pi - and the pocket computer is pretty good at it too! All you need is a little help to connect buttons and a joystick up and you can custom design your own arcade console, desktop or stand-up machine, even just a simple controller box. It makes for a fun weekend project that will last all year.
This Adafruit Arcade Bonnet is designed to make small emulator projects a little easier to build. Here's what you can look forward to!
