Adafruit was founded in 2005 by MIT engineer, Limor "Ladyada" Fried. Her goal was to create the best place online for learning electronics and making the best designed products for makers of all ages and skill levels. In the last 10 years, Adafruit has grown to over 100+ employees in the heart of NYC with a 50,000+ sq ft. factory. Adafruit has expanded offerings to include tools, equipment, and electronics that Limor personally selects, tests, and approves before going in to the Adafruit store. Adafruit is a 100% woman owned manufacturing company, a certified Minority and Woman-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE), a certified Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE), and WOSB. Source

The Adafruit TSL2585 Digital UVA and Ambient Light Sensor is a great "three-in-one" light sensor that has ambient light sensing, Infrared channel and UVA (315nm-400nm). In particular its not that common to get UVA narrow-band sensing on an I2C sensor, so this is great for outdoor light monitoring.
Adafruit Monster Eyes
The animated eyeballs on the MONSTER M4SK and Hallowing boards are an Adafruit spooky season staple. But, new boards and displays have come into vogue and it was time to revisit this code base. The amazing ground work had been laid by Phil B., so it was just a matter of reorganizing and porting the math. The new version is called Adafruit Monster Eyes, and it lives in its own repository on GitHub.

Clicking through to the embedded content will allow you to be tracked by the embed provider. The Teenage Engineering SP-1 is a hardware stem player device that was never officially released. It was manufactured in a partnership that fell apart before official release.
CircuitPython Watchdog Module
The CircuitPython watchdog module implements a watchdog timer that can be used to detect and recover from locked or stalled processes running on the microcontroller. The watchdog is configured for a specified timeout period and is activated. Then, the code must feed the dog at least once within every timeout interval. Letting the timeout elapse without feeding the dog will cause it to bite. When the watchdog bites, it will typically reset the device back into a clean state.
Adafruit TMF8806 Time of Flight Distance Sensor - 10mm to 5m - STEMMA QT / Qwiic
The Adafruit TMF8806 Time of Flight Sensor is a great Time of Flight distance sensor from ams Osram in the TMF series of chips. The TMF8806 in particular can do 20mm to 5 meters at up to 30 Hz update rate, and a dedicated low-power 200mm mode. It also has a wider field-of-view The sensor contains a very tiny invisible laser source and a matching sensor. The TMF8806 can detect the "time of flight", or how long the light has taken to bounce back to the sensor.
Adafruit TMF8801 Time of Flight Distance Sensor - STEMMA QT / Qwiic
The Adafruit TMF8801 Time of Flight Sensor is a great Time of Flight distance sensor from ams Osram in the TMF series of chips. The TMF8801 in particular can do 20mm to 2.5 meters at 33 Hz update rate. The sensor contains a very tiny invisible laser source and a matching sensor. The TMF8801 can detect the "time of flight", or how long the light has taken to bounce back to the sensor.
Adafruit Stereo I2S 3W Amplifier Breakout - Dual MAX98357A
Listen to this good news - we now have an all in one digital audio amp breakout board that works incredibly well with the Raspberry Pi or any other microcontroller with I2S output! If you're looking for an easy and low cost way to get your digital sound files bumpin' then the Stereo MAX98357A I2S Amp Breakout is for you. It takes standard I2S digital stereo audio input and, not only decodes it into analog, but also amplifies it directly into a speaker.

Chances are, the designers skimped a few pennies or just forgot to put in the two 5.1K CC resistors required for C-to-C connections at 5V.
Adafruit GP8403 Breakout Board I2C DAC with 12V Booster + NVM - STEMMA QT / qwiic
We stock a bunch of DAC boards here at the 'fruit - these are chips that will take I2C or SPI and pop out an analog voltage. We have single channels like the MCP4725 and even quad channel like MCP4728, but one thing most DACs have in common is they max out at whatever the input power is for the chip, which is usually 3V or 5V.
Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 - 10" 1200x1920 w/ Capacitive Touch
Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 is the sequel to the popular Raspberry Pi Official Display. Next in the lineup, is a 10′′ touchscreen display for Raspberry Pi. Unlike the original, it has a much higher quality IPS TFT screen, the same kind used on tablets. That means it looks great at any angle, and it has much higher resolution too, 1200x1920 rather than 800x480! It is ideal for interactive projects such as tablets, entertainment systems, and information dashboards.
