We’ve got the New nEw NEW for you right here:

Adafruit 0.96″ 160×80 Color TFT Display w/ MicroSD Card Breakout – ST7735

Say hello to our 0.96″ 160×80 Color TFT Display w/ MicroSD Card Breakout – we think it’s T-F-Terrific! It’s the size of your thumbnail, with glorious 160×80 pixel color. This very very small display is only 0.96″ diagonal, packed with RGB pixels, for making very small high-density displays.

OLED Breakout Board – 16-bit Color 1.27″ w/microSD holder – EYESPI Connector

We love our black and white monochrome displays but we also like to dabble with some color now and then. Our 1.27″ color OLED displays are perfect when you need a small display with vivid, high-contrast 16-bit color. The visible portion of the OLED measures 1.27″ diagonal and contains 128×96 RGB pixels, each one made of red, green and blue OLEDs. Each pixel can be set with 16-bits of resolution for a large range of colors. Because the display uses OLEDs, there is no backlight, and the contrast is very high (black is really black). We picked this display for its excellent color, this is the nicest mini OLED we could find!

Adafruit microSD Card BFF Add-On for QT Py and Xiao

Our QT Py boards are a great way to make very small microcontroller projects that pack a ton of power – and now we have a way for you to add a ton of storage, for reading and writing, with a micro SD card slot that can fit on the back of your miniature dev board. It uses the three SPI pins plus one chip select pin to access megs or gigs of data.

W25Q64JVXGIQ – 3V 64Mbit / 8 MB QSPI NOR Flash Memory – 100 Pack

These little chips are like miniature SSD drives for your electronics. When you don’t need something with as much storage as a micro SD card, but an EEPROM is too small, SPI (or QSPI) Flash chips give you on-the-order-of megabytes, with little cost and complexity. We use these chips all the time on our RP2040 and CircuitPython boards to let folks store code and assets like animations, fonts, images, configurations, audio clips, etc! A great way to add datalogging storage as well.

Pimoroni Pico DV Demo Base – RP2040 DVI Multimedia Board – PIM588

Intrigued by the possibilities of VGA Demo Base but no longer own a D-sub cable? No problem! This board is an all-digital conversion of Raspberry Pi’s VGA reference design, great if you want to start hacking on video and/or audio output from a Raspberry Pi Pico and piping it straight into a modern monitor.

Pimoroni Pico VGA Demo Base – RP2040 VGA Multimedia Board – PIM553

Built especially to showcase the low-cost, feature-rich RP2040 chip on the Raspberry Pi Pico, this board has VGA output, an SD card slot, digital I2S audio output, and more!

RFM95CW 915MHz LoRa Module

Sending data over long distances is like magic, and now you can be a magician with this easy-to-use module that you can solder onto your microcontroller board, to add wireless LoRa connectivity on the 900 MHz ISM band.

Adafruit OV5640 Camera Breakout – 120 Degree Lens

Hobby-level microcontrollers are finally getting big and powerful enough to start handling camera modules that historically would have required a full computer or FPGA to handle. The RP2040 and ESP32-Sx series of chips, for example, have enough pins to communicate with the 8-bit data output, DMA to quickly grab a frame, and the necessary RAM to buffer a raw snapshot. Now all we need is a nice camera module to make interfacing easy!
