More features can be added with "FeatherWing" expansion cards that with an LCD or NeoPixel array, DC motor drivers, and other capabilities.Īdafruit publishes tutorials-roughly 2,400 as of 2020-that show how to build projects with their products, tear down wearable electronic devices, 3D printing, and more. Certain boards add special features such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or cellular network connectivity, built-in prototyping space, or SD card communication. The boards share a form factor, pinouts, and lithium polymer battery charging. Feather development boards A headerless Adafruit Feather M0 Basic Proto Development Boardįeather is Adafruit's largest brand of " Arduino-like" boards and accessories. This includes CircuitPython for microcontrollers and CircuitPython on single-board computers using a compatibility layer Adafruit named "Blinka", to access general-purpose input/output functionality and compatibility with a library of more than 160 sensors and drivers. In 2019, resources for CircuitPython were moved to, reflecting the appearance of non-Adafruit boards that use CircuitPython. CircuitPython runs on Adafruit boards with a flash memory chip and one of the following microcontrollers: Atmel SAMD21 (M0), Atmel SAMD51 (M4), and the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840. In January, 2017, Adafruit introduced CircuitPython, a fork of the MicroPython programming language optimized to run on some Adafruit products. Those integrate an additional white LED in the package for extra possible color mixes and selectable white color temperature (the company sells single NeoPixels with a 6000 K, 4500 K and 3000 K color temperature).
In addition to the traditional RGB technology, Adafruit manufactures a red-green-blue-white (RGBW) variant of NeoPixel for all products except those that feature a NeoPixel Mini 3535. Adafruit provides an Arduino library and a Python Library to help with the programming of NeoPixels. The control protocol for NeoPixels is based on only one communication wire. Adafruit manufactures several products with NeoPixels with form factors such as strips, rings, matrices, Arduino shields, traditional five-millimeter cylinder LED and individual NeoPixel with or without a PCB. They are based on the WS2812 LED and WS2811 driver, where the WS2811 is integrated into the LED, for reduced footprint. NeoPixel is Adafruit's brand of individually addressable red-green-blue ( RGB) LED. In 2017, Adafruit Industries' best-selling product was the Circuit Playground Express NeoPixel Mini NeoPixels with comparison to a Canadian quarter They, like many Adafruit products, are circular in shape for ease of use in education and wearable electronics projects, along with the FLORA and Gemma, the company's wearable electronics development platforms. In 2016, the company released the Circuit Playground, a board with an Atmel ATmega32u4 microcontroller and a variety of sensors, followed in 2017 by the more powerful Atmel SAMD21 based Circuit Playground Express. In addition to distributing third-party components and boards such as the Raspberry Pi, Adafruit develops and sells its own development boards for educational and hobbyist purposes. The company aims to get more people involved in technology, science and engineering. The name Adafruit comes from Fried's online moniker "Ladyada", a homage to computer science pioneer Ada Lovelace. The company had $22 million in revenue in 2013 and $33 million in 2014. In November, the reward was issued to Hector Martin for his open-source Kinect driver. This reward was increased to $2,000 and then $3,000 after Microsoft said it would work to prevent such " tampering". In 2010, Adafruit offered a US$1,000 (equivalent to $1,342 in 2022) reward for whoever could hack Microsoft's Kinect to make its motion-sensing capabilities available for use for other projects. She later moved to New York City and established Adafruit Industries. Limor Fried, then a student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, began selling electronic kits on her website from her own designs in 2005. It also produces learning resources, including live and recorded videos about electronics, technology, and programming. The company designs, manufactures and sells electronics products, electronics components, tools, and accessories.
Adafruit Industries is an open-source hardware company based in New York, United States.
