See how to take your Yoto Mini apart and load and run CircuitPython firmware with access to nearly all of the peripherals onboard. As of writing, the speaker init sequence hasn't been fully cracked but there is headphone output and every other peripheral is accessible, including the eMMC flash for chonky storage. There's also a page detailing the reverse engineering process, from multimeters to looking at the shipped firmware with Ghidra.

Make a pendant from an 8x8 LED matrix and a Feather ESP32 V2. This necklace has a compact design and onboard battery charging, and runs WLED -- no coding required.

OpenClaw is a project that gives an LLM agent control over a computer. The agent can install software, write and run programs, integrate with external services, and much more. Running OpenClaw on a Pi opens up world of possibilities with many types hardware that can be connected to the device and given to OpenClaw to control and interact with.

MEMENTO and MagTag are back, and together for the very first time! Use MEMENTO to snap pics that are automatically uploaded to Adafruit IO, then automatically downloaded by the MagTag for display.

Bass MIDI pedals are a really popular DIY music project. They're used to control synths or other MIDI equipment with your feet while you're playing another instrument. Perfect for getting moody drones going during your solo shoegaze set. The build is housed in a pedal enclosure and uses a Raspberry Pi Pico 2, running CircuitPython, plugged into a Terminal PiCowbell for easy wiring with the foot switches.

Use a Feather PropMaker RP2040 and Adalogger FeatherWing to make a color sensing music player using CircuitPython. An AS7341 color sensor detects a color and plays music depending on the color.

Add NeoPixel LEDs to a piece of acrylic plastic and make your drawings or signs animate and glow. Wipe it clean and reuse it as many times as you like. No soldering or coding required!

Load up your favorite haiku poems and show them on the MagTag eInk display. Store them in a local file or as a remotely manageable feed on Adafruit IO. Press the left and right buttons to cycle through the available haikus, and the down button chooses a random one.

Set up a big red button that controls your lights. Turn them on or off, change colors or effects, or turn on Party Mode with one click. Make your project interactive and fun for the whole family.

Every year for Hanukkah, you light a candle every night for 8 days. Whether you sometimes lose track of which night it is or you can't light candles in your space, this project helps you out by making the menorah digital and keeping time with the internet. Every day, the MagTag fetches the date and time, compares it to the start date of Hanukkah and updates the menorah graphic accordingly.

Use your Fruit Jam in style by 3D printing an Apple IIe inspired enclosure.

Use WLED on Sparkle Motion for easy, plug-and-play, no-solder Christmas tree lighting that you can control from your mobile device or IR remote control.

Make a snowflake by clicking points with the mouse to cut out shapes, or use a custom SVG or PNG file for the front of your card. Input text for the front and inside messages. Generate the card when everything is set and then find it inside of CPSAVES on the PC and open it in a browser to print. Then fold the paper into quarters and your card is ready!

Protect your AirPods with a pair of Star Trek Deep Space Nine Bajoran inspired holders for ears!

'Tis the season for holiday displays, but Hanukkah doesn't always get the same kitschy, fun decor that other holidays do. In this project, you'll build a planetary gear that rotates three dreidels using an STSPIN220 silent stepper motor driver and a KB2040 running CircuitPython. It's giving Stu Pickles chaotic menorah energy from A Rugrats Chanukah Special.

It's AdaBox 022!

There are unique quotes for nearly every minute of the day. Many of the minutes have several, and choose from them at random. The quotes are displayed on the MagTags eInk display along with the book title and author.

Create a laser-cut layered LED art panel with WLED using stacked wooden layers and edge-lit acrylic to produce clean, multi-depth lighting effects. This technique lets you run independent WLED segments on separate acrylic layers, turning any laser-cut design into a customizable, glowing light sculpture.

This project uses locally running "edge" AI models on the Raspberry Pi 5 to translate text, suggest appropriate attire based on the weather, and then speak the weather and wardrobe suggestion in one of 6 different languages. SmolLM3 is used for translation and wardrobe suggestion, and Piper TTS is used for multi-lingual text to speech.

Make a cute 4x12 48-key keyboard using NeoKey ortho linear snap-part PCBs and the KB2040 microcontroller.

This is a fun beginner project that's so much fun to do with kids. Create sculpted mushroom lights with addressable, twisted wire "fairy" pixels, hot glue, and a Mini Sparkle Motion board and create fun animations on your smartphone.

Use a WiFi enabled board and Adafruit's "no-code" WipperSnapper firmware, combined with a fast response vibration switch, to capture the end of the washing machine cycle. Fire off a notification at completion (Email/SMS), and reminders until the washing gets hung out.

*sniff* *sniff* ... do you smell that? No need to stick your nose into a carton of milk anymore, you can build a digital nose with the ENS161 Gas Sensor, a fully integrated MOX gas sensor. This is a very fine air quality sensor from the sensor experts at ScioSense, with I2C interfacing so you don't have to manage the heater and analog reading of a MOX sensor. It combines multiple metal-oxide sensing and heating elements on one chip to provide more detailed air quality signals.
