These knobs make it is easier to turn the potentiometer with your fingers, and it makes it obvious that these are to be turned to adjust something. Without the knob, you may be using your fingertips and accidentally pushing out other components on a breadboard, or using a screwdriver and stripping the soft white plastic.

This is an insert for the Ikea SATSUMAS plant ladder – for those who don’t want to plant directly in the provided containers, you can use this instead and remove the plant to water as needed.

Comes with a large hole for drainage, which I covered with mesh netting to catch the soil. You can adjust the model to have a smaller hole if desired.

If you want to change the size of the crate, scale the x- or y-axis, and don’t forget to add the same to the clip that goes on the crate.

The adafruit discord server moderators and community

seen in a discord server. The developer and adafruit staff interaction with
users also really shows that they have an interest in how their products are

It’s the last night of our “Festival of Lights” mega design fest—to wrap up this year, we’re doing eight days of light-filled designs!

We started with the Sparkle Motion Mini which can drive thousands of shimmering RGB LEDs. Then, we did the Sparkle Motion stick, a USB-pluggable version. On the third night, a 1.28″ round TFT display, and on the fourth, a 1.8″ round TFT with captouch overlay (https://bsky.app/profile/adafruit.com/post/3leg4y35r2k2k). On the fifth night, a tiny 0.85″ TFT display came to life. We took a little break on the sixth night since we were doing a lot of Sparkle Motion testing and did a quick revision of our NeoRGB (https://bsky.app/profile/adafruit.com/post/3lekxcbal7s2v) The seventh night was a transparent OLED display with 128×64 pixels and an I2C interface.

Tonight – the candles are burned out, the donuts are all eaten, and the final prototype PCB is booked! This is a mini breakout for a tiny 0.7″ round TFT display with 160×160 pixels. What is this, a display for ants? We couldn’t fit a micro SD card socket on the back, but we did get an EYESPI socket on there, and 0.1″ spaced breakout pads with all the necessary connections, plus a regulator and level shifter. Whew, we’re going to bed – Happy New Year!!!

Track your punches with precision on Adafruit IO using this accelerometer-powered Boxing Glove tracker with an ESP32-S2 or ESP32-S3 TFT! In this guide we’ll just refer to the ESP32-S3 TFT.

This project allows you to build your custom Boxing Glove Tracker using a Feather ESP32-S3 TFT running CircuitPython with an ADXL345 accelerometer. The ESP32-S3 TFT reads accelerometer data to measure the force of punches you throw.

The data collected by the accelerometer will then be sent to Adafruit IO, where you can visualize and analyze your training performance over time.

Check out the guide!

On the offhand chance you want to be able to measure just how far away folks are from you,  CMoz has a project for that. Over on  Instructables, CMoz has outlined a project called the Distance Hat. Just like it says on the tin, the hat measures distance via a distance sensor and a NeoPixel Ring. Here’s more:

In this tutorial, for a distance sensor hat, I’ll be using an ultrasonic sensor to measure the distance of others approaching. This will trigger a neopixel ring with colours, a buzzer for sound, and a vibration sensor to get some haptic feedback.

See project!

Happy New Year! We kicked off #CircuitPython2025 over a week ago and are excited to hear from folks. We got big news from @jepler to kick it off. (See below) Please post your vision for CircuitPython by the end of Tuesday, January 14th and email circuitpython2025@adafruit.com to let us know so we can link to it.

@jepler (aka @stylus) posted big news to Mastodon:

My #CircuitPython2025 @adafruit

I’m not going to bury the lede: 2025 is the year I’m hanging up my hat as a core developer of CircuitPython. My involvement with Adafruit & CircuitPython will change from what it has been to just an occasional project. For that reason, this post is more about expressing my gratitude for the past and present rather than a specific plan for the future.

In February 2018 I bought a pair of Trinket M0s because I’d heard about CircuitPython and wanted to try it. In Summer 2019, I did my first paid project for Adafruit, and then in November I left my prior full-time job to make Adafruit & CircuitPython my “main thing”.

After five years and a bit working for Adafruit, I have nothing but love and admiration for the people in this community. I wish I’d learned at the start of my programming career how much more you can create when it’s on a foundation of respect and a desire to help one another. Better late than never.

I grew in other ways too. I remember how nervous I was the first time I went on Show & Tell. Now, being live on YouTube is just a normal Wednesday night. I even gave a talk at a PyCon thanks to Adafruit, which was nothing I’d imagined doing.

What’s ahead for me? For now, I’m wrapping up long term Adafruit projects while trying not to start anything too big. Starting in April I’m going to travel for a few months. When I get back I’m going to focus more on local and volunteer opportunities. I plan to be around on Discord & GitHub to answer questions in cases where I may be the one with the expertise. Or when I have questions while I’m doing my own CircuitPython projects.

I’m proud of what I’ve been able to contribute to CircuitPython and other open source projects, and glad that it’s going to be available effectively forever as open source code. And in a way I’m excited about the void that my absence will create: I think it’s an opportunity for new folks to step up and make their own contributions to CircuitPython. With luck, something wonderful that stems from a fresh viewpoint and a distinct set of strengths. Something I couldn’t have imagined, let alone done. What’s your idea, and what will you create in 2025?

Thanks to Jeff for all of his contributions to CircuitPython and its community. We’re happy you’ll be around from time to time.

#CircuitPython2025 is our annual reflection on the state of CircuitPython. We’d love to hear from you too! See the kick-off post for all of the details. Please post by January 14th.
