Module with a digital temperature sensor PCT2075. It enables measurement in the range from -25 to 100°C with an accuracy of ±1°C. Communicates via I2C. Adafruit 4369
Adafruit 16-Channel PWM / Servo HAT for Raspberry Pi - Mini Kit (Adafruit 2327)
Module with light sensor VEML7700. It allows you to measure the intensity in the range from 0 to 120 Klx. Equipped with a STEMMA QT connector, it communicates via the I2C interface. Adafruit 5378
Module with audio amplifier and 8 Ω speaker with a power of 1 W. The board is equipped with a STEMMA connector. Adafruit 3885
Miniature development board with ATtiny817 microcontroller. It has analog inputs, PWM outputs and two STEMMA QT connectors. Adafruit 5233
Extension module with Li-Ion and LiPo charger dedicated to QT Py boards. It allows you to charge the batteries with a current of up to 200 mA. Adafruit 5397
A versatile extension for Adafruit Feather boards, allowing you to quickly connect Grove modules and Stemma QT accessories without soldering. The module offers three Grove A/D connectors, one UART, and two I2C connectors, making it easy to expand your project with a variety of sensors and interfaces. An additional Stemma QT port allows for further expansion of I2C devices. Adafruit 5862
Adafruit specializes in the production and distribution of electronic components available for both beginners and advanced users. The company's product offerings include microcontrollers, sensors, communication modules, displays, prototyping kits, and accessories for IoT (Internet of Things) projects.
One of Adafruit's most popular products is its family of Circuit Playground and Feather microcontrollers. Circuit Playground is a series of microcontrollers ideal for education, equipped with a variety of sensors and LEDs, allowing immediate project work without the need for additional components. The Feather series, on the other hand, features a modular design that enables easy expansion of project functionality through a wide range of "FeatherWings" — additional modules compatible with the base microcontroller.
Adafruit offers a rich selection of sensors for measuring various environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and light intensity. With communication modules like the ESP8266 and ESP32, users can easily integrate their projects with Wi-Fi networks, paving the way for advanced IoT applications.
Adafruit's product line also includes various types of displays, from simple OLED screens to more advanced touch panels. Combined with available libraries and documentation, users can easily create intuitive user interfaces for their projects.
Since its inception, Adafruit has placed a strong emphasis on technological education and supporting the maker community. The company runs a comprehensive YouTube channel, regularly publishing instructional videos, product reviews, and project tutorials. Adafruit also develops and maintains the Learn platform, which hosts hundreds of free tutorials and projects for individuals of varying skill levels.
One of Adafruit's core principles is supporting the open-source movement. The company releases all its hardware and software projects as open source, enabling the maker community to freely modify and develop them. This approach garners Adafruit the loyalty and appreciation of users who value the opportunity to participate in the creation and enhancement of products.
Adafruit continuously strives to introduce technological innovations. The company is known for its rapid response to market changes and the introduction of new products that meet current user needs.
