The ATtiny1616 Breakout with seesaw is a different kind of microcontroller board. Rather than being a target for standalone programs, this breakout board is designed to be an intelligent port expander for other microcontroller boards. This is achieved using the purpose-written seesaw library from Adafruit. The ATtiny1616 Breakout comes with seesaw preinstalled on the board, […]

Drones, robots, magic, and art collide at Maker Faire Miami this weekend which returns with a full spectrum of makers and movers and shakers…
The first two of the three electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) emitted during a nuclear explosion are by far the briefest. The first pulse has a duration of nanoseconds; the second lasts only microseconds. Both, especially the first, can permanently damage solid-state electronics. Electronic devices can be protected from an EMP by storing them in a Faraday shield, […]
Most of us have experienced power outages. While brief interruptions are unpleasant, lengthy outages that can occur after severe weather, forest fires, and earthquakes can cause loss of food stored in refrigerators and freezers unless a backup generator is available. While water outages are less common than power outages, drinkable water becomes much more important than […]
The latest Adafruit Metro is the M7 with AirLift. The idea behind this board is to take a very powerful Arm Cortex-M7 microcontroller, put it in the Arduino Uno’s form factor, and then squeeze in a Wi-Fi subsystem along the edge. Adafruit then adds all the extras found on their recent boards. It’s a very […]
