This is a highly integrated round-shaped all-in-one capacitive fingerprint sensor module, which is nearly as small as a nail plate. The module is controlled via UART commands, fairly easy to use. It's advantages includes 360° omni-directional...

A button is a button, and an LED is a LED, but this LED illuminated button is a lovely combination of both! It's a medium sized button, large enough to press easily but not too big that it gets in the way of your project panel. It has a built in LED that...

This thumbstick is an analog joystick - more accurate and sensitive than just 'directional' joysticks - with a 'press in to select' button. Since it's analog(10k potentiometers), you'll need two analog reading pins on your microcontroller to determine X...

This straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 5kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that changes in response to, and proportional of, the strain...

Make a scrolling sign, or a small video display with this 8x8 gridded pixel white LED matrix. Only 1.2" on a side, it is quite visible but not so large it won't plug into a breadboard! There are 16 pins on the side, 8 on each, with 0.1" spacing so...

You will squeak with delight when you hold this adorable miniature LED matrix. 0.8" square, its got everything a big LED matrix has, but bite sized! 64 bright yellow-green LEDs are contained inside the plastic body, in an 8x8 matrix. There are 16 pins on...

It's summer and you're sweating and your hair's all frizzy and all you really want to know is why the weatherman said this morning that today's relative humidity would max out at a perfectly reasonable 42% when it feels more like 77%. Enter...

Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a good amplifier with a cold-compensation reference. The MAX31855K does everything for you, and can be easily interfaced with any microcontroller, even one without an analog input. This breakout board has the...

Your power supply problems just got SOLVED! This little circuit board may look tiny but inside is a high efficiency DC/DC step-down converter which can output up to 3 Amp at 5V without the need of any heat-sink or forced cooling. (It does get a bit...

Adafruit seesaw is a near-universal converter framework which allows you to add add and extend hardware support to any I2C-capable microcontroller or microcomputer. Instead of getting separate I2C GPIO expanders, ADCs, PWM drivers, etc, seesaw can be...

Sew a little sparkle into your wearable project with an Adafruit LED Sequin. These are the kid-sister to the popular Flora NeoPixel, they only show a single color and they don't have digital control, but that makes them smaller easier to use for many...

These LED strips come in 5 meter reels. These strips are sold by the meter! If you buy 5 meters at a time, you'll get full reels with leads at both ends. If you buy less than 5m, you'll get a single 1-4m strip with or without leads.   1. Light...

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat.  You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.  Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there...

This alcohol gas sensor detects the concentration of alcohol gas in the air and ouputs its reading as an analog voltage. The concentration sensing range of 0.04 mg/L to 4 mg/L is suitable for breathalysers (the legal limit of breath alcohol...

This breakout board is the simplest way to create a project with a single "momentary" capacitive touch sensor. No microcontroller is required here - just power with 1.8 to 5.5VDC and touch the pad to activate the sensor. When a capacitive load is...

Caution! The BBC micro:bit is NOT included. You can buy the BBC micro:bit here. Looking to do more with your BBC micro:bit? Unlock its potential with this pre-built version of Kitronik Edge Connector Breakout Board! This breakout board has...

Add some colour to your next coding project with our new Halo board for the BBC micro:bit. The Halo has 24 ZIP LEDs, which are individually addressable full colour LEDs. This means that each LED can display a huge spectrum of colours, allowing amazing...

Round and round and round they go! 24 ultra bright smart LED NeoPixels are arranged in a circle with 2.6" (66mm) outer diameter. The rings are 'chainable' - connect the output pin of one to the input pin of another. Use only one microcontroller pin to...

The Squid Button is a momentary action push switch with trailing leads that end in female header sockets that will fit over GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi, Node MCU or Raspberry Pi Pico. To reduce the chance of accidental short-circuits when using the...
