@dis @adafruit that's because @rpilocator only tracks the @Raspberry_Pi #SBC's, not #Microcontrollers...
Not to mention that the #RP2040 (as well as #PiPico and variants like #PiPicoW) are generally well available and not even remotely as #Scalped as even the #Pi0 v1.3 is today)...

@rpilocator @adafruit pico is back in stock! Not listed on rpilocator though

The @adafruit ATtiny1616 #Breakout with #seesaw is a different kind of #microcontroller board. Rather than being a target for standalone programs, it is an intelligent port expander for other #boards. This is achieved via #I2C using the purpose-written seesaw library from #Adafruit. ⚡️🤝⚡️

The @adafruit #Metro M7 with #AirLift takes a very powerful #NXP #arm Cortex-M7 #microcontroller, puts it in the #Arduino #Uno’s form factor, and then squeezes in an #Espressif #WiFi subsystem plus all the extras found on their recent boards. ⚡️💪🗜️

This whole incident reminds me of this vintage 1979 episode of "Project U.F.O." - "The Whitman Tower Incident" (S2E12)
https://youtu.be/IvByc4lNH54?t=38m10s
If you don't want the watch the whole poorly recorded episode you can skip to 38:10 for the explanationApparently the Project #UFO TV series was based on actual Project BLUE BOOK casefiles.

@davedarko @adafruit oh and if you like droning wub, then you might like the "eighties_dystopia.ino" that should work on your setup too. No UI! https://github.com/todbot/mozzi_experiments/blob/main/eighties_dystopia/eighties_dystopia.ino
Here's what it sounds like

#Ladyada of @adafruit is using #LLM and what she does makes sense to me.
I may have to stop shaking my fist at clouds … a little … and have a closer look at these contraptions.> To me this is a great usage of "agentic" firmware development: there's no creativity in transcribing 84 different structs from a 475-page datasheet.

Fans of Adafruit may recall a couple of months ago that one of the key people at the company made a series of posts on social media (including Mastodon and BlueSky) that looked awfully like online harassment. Besides some unprofessional stuff like name-calling, there were more serious accusations such as transphobia and doxxing.
Now, it seems there's been a falling-out between Adafruit and SparkFun Electronics. SparkFun has taken things seriously enough that they've ceased their business relationship with Adafruit. Here's the Official Response from SparkFun, citing a direct violation of their Code of Conduct:
https://www.sparkfun.com/official-responseThis is bad news for Adafruit, since SparkFun is a major supplier of electronic components, tools, and devices. SparkFun also manufactures their in-house range of products, as well as having the scale to manufacture products for other companies such as Teensy. It's potentially fatal for Adafruit to get cut-off from SparkFun.
The response from Adafruit has been confusing. Rather than explain how or why they destroyed their business-relationship with SparkFun, they made a public statement announcing they'll soon cease selling Teensy devices: "Discontinuing the Teensy at Adafruit" (https://blog.adafruit.com/2026/01/12/discontinuing-the-teensy-at-adafruit/)
To make matters even more strange and confusing, Adafruit announced they're making a Teensy-knockoff^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^hcompatible board.
But, surely the most bizarre twist is this same individual from Adafruit has gone onto the Teensy forum to advertise their new products meant to compete with Teensy: https://forum.pjrc.com/index.php?threads/open-source-teensy-compatible-what-features-do-you-want.77584/
I think it's fair to say that Paul Stoffregen, who runs/designs/engineers Teensy, has shown remarkable restraint since being dragged into this drama and having it jump tracks and go careering outrageously onto the Teensy forum. -
Got I2C sensors from Adafruit last summer.
Tonight I managed to get the temperature/humidity sensor working today on a Hackberry Pi, which is a little handheld with a 720x720 screen, a Raspberry Pi Zero, and an old Blackberry keyboard. And a tiny external I2C port.
I found a Python GUI library, FreeSimpleGUI, to make a little window to display sensor values.
Beep boop.

Hey #electronics @hackaday @adafruit
If you needed to make a #Tron -like backlight effect for white plastic (ie. 3D-printed, thin enough to diffuse) to reproduce the "living" effect used in the original film, has anyone already done this? Is there a well-known git repo with the code at the ready?
I have lots of #Neopixel as well as older style analog RGB LEDs kicking around, either system is fine.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to make it "surge" like in the scene where Flynn, Ram and Tron find the pool of "power" and drink it, or when Sark becomes infuriated and says "Take Him!" in the scene with Dumont.
(our Instance now has 10k limits in the toot, but still only 1500 in the alt text, so here's the rest of the alt text below lol)
The oval and squares appeared on the chest of the titular character in the movie Tron. Tron was not the protagonist of the film - that would be Kevin Flynn, a genius programmer from the real world - but was a Hero in the classical mythology sense, a mighty warrior in the digital fantasy world of the film (known as The Grid).
Tron was a Program, written by a User, like all Programs that lived on The Grid. Without getting too deep into it, there's a very large program called The Master Control Program who was originally a chess game, but has established a tyrannical regime by integrating other programs into its own code and murdering their personalities.
The MCP has a system of brutal police type programs and a somewhat Vader-like toady named Sark, and they enforce an anti-User hegemonic propaganda campaign, in which those who believe in the Users are religious nuts, who are punitively made to play to the death in gladiator "video games".
Tron is the mightiest of these: when first seen, he is fighting four Programs whose light is red in colour rather than the blue of the good guys in the film in a disc battle, at the end of which he holds his disk skyward, in a gesture to his User creator. Ram, another program, tells Flynn, "That's Tron, he fights for the Users."
The Gimli FSHS ("Gimli Fishes," a play on words that denotes the fact that our community relies heavily on commercial fishing from Lake Winnipeg) is intended to be an organization focused on data sovereignty by any means necessary. We fight for the users.

#iFixit und #Adafruit zeigen auf #YouTube wie man den #Nintendo #Alarmo Wecker hackt:
"iFixit + Adafruit - Hack, mod, and explore the Nintendo Alarmo"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNaCcqqUragWäre das Teil nicht so hässlich, wäre es eigentlich ein gutes #SmartHome-Terminal, das z.B. die aktuelle Leistung der Solaranlage anzeigen könnte. 🤔

I’ve had an Adafruit Macropad for a little over 3 years, and while I was working from home at the start of that period it was permanently on, connected to my MacBook Pro on my desktop, with a variety of shortcuts configured for driving different apps that I used day-to-day. My configuration is on GitHub.
More recently, I have not been using it nearly as much.
Last weekend for our Makeroni meetup, I pulled it out of my kit bag and started to tinker some more. I have a variety of additional Qwiic / StemmaQT controls and sensors that I wanted to play with, so I updated to the most recent stable build of CircuitPython and started to have a look at them.
I also noticed that it is a nice size to act as a companion device to the MNT Pocket Reform…
MNT Pocket Reform with the Macropad to one sideMacropad with a slider control attachedI noticed a problem – there was some burn-in on the OLED display where it had been mostly always-on in the past (lesson learned, to manage the screen output more carefully!) – but fortunately, Adafruit have done a lovely job of making that easy to replace. I also think it might be nice to have that screen wedged up at a slight angle to aid readability.

I don’t have an identical colour of filament, but I do have a range of options. I also ordered a bunch of different knobs for the potentiometer, and some alternate keycaps, so that I can make the look a bit more consistent as well.
A selection of filament colour optionsA close (?) matchSome rotation knob options and keycapsI don’t have a final case design yet (and I need to spend some time properly learning FreeCAD and/or Fusion360, really), and I also haven’t finished modifying the macros code to match what I’m using on Debian on the Pocket Reform, but this is just some work-in-progress.

This new @adafruit Learn Guide to #SynthIO by @johnedgarpark looks really detailed and interesting (and of course features several of @todbot's projects). Great stuff!

I like the @adafruit #Feather and #Featherwing system. It’s like electronic version of Lego to play with #CircuitPython 😅
I start to have a good collection (I have some more not on this photo). -
