Product information "Adafruit FLORA - Electronic wearable platform, Arduino-compatible"

FLORA is the full-featured wearable electronics platform from Adafruit. It's a round, sewable, Arduino-compatible microcontroller designed to enable amazing wearables projects.

FLORA comes with Adafruit-supported tutorials and projects. Check out dozens of FLORA tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System, and more are being added all the time!
The FLORA is small (4.45cm diameter, 4.4 grams weight). The FLORA family also has the best stainless steel threads, sensors, GPS modules and linkable LED NeoPixels, perfect accessories for the FLORA main board.

The FLORA has built-in USB support. Built-in USB means you plug it in to programme, it just pops up - all you need is a Micro-B USB cable, no additional purchases required! We have a modified version of the Arduino IDE so Mac & Windows users can get started quickly - or with the new 1.6.4+ Arduino IDE it only takes a few seconds to add Flora support. The FLORA has USB HID support so it can behave like a mouse or keyboard to connect directly to computers.

FLORA has a small but easy to use onboard reset button to reboot the system. The power supply is designed to be flexible and easy to use. There is a polarised 2 JST battery connector with protective Schottky diode for use with external battery packs from 3.5v to 16v DC in. Can be used with LiIon/LiPoly, LiFe, Alkaline or rechargeable NiMh/NiCad batteries of any size. The FLORA does not have a LiPo charger included, this allows safe use with multiple battery types and reduces the risk of fire as it is not recommended to charge these batteries on fabric.

The FLORA has an onboard switch connected to a 2A power FET to switch the battery on and off safely and efficiently. The FLORA has an onboard 3.3v 250mA regulator with protection diode and USB fuse so that the microcontroller voltage is consistent and can power common 3.3v modules and sensors.

We have spent a lot of time on the power supply as the FLORA power system is specifically designed to easily control and power a large number of addressable NeoPixels. Flora can easily drive 50 pixels directly via the onboard power supply, or up to 500 if the pixels are powered externally via a separate 5V supply .

FLORA is fabric friendly - all components on the board are flush with the PCB and will not get caught in delicate clothing (no FTDI connectors are used).
FLORA is extremely beginner-friendly - the reverse polarity protected plug and the protective diodes make it difficult to destroy the FLORA by connecting a battery the wrong way round. Thanks to the built-in regulator, even connecting a 9V battery will not cause damage or breakage.
The FLORA has 4 indicator LEDs: Power Good, Digital Signal LED for bootloader feedback, Data Rx/Tx. Also onboard is an ICSP connector for easy reprogramming for advanced users. The Flora v2 even has an RGB NeoPixel for even more colourful lighting.
There are 14 sewing pads for attachment and electrical connections. The data buses are interleaved with the power and ground pads, making it easy to attach modules and sensors without having to worry about overlapping traces, which is not possible with conductive thread.
From 7 July 2016, we will now also be selling Flora v3 with alligator clip-friendly pads.
The FLORA works great with the Arduino IDE and is super easy to install if you have IDE 1.6.4 or higher

The included JST connector can be white or black.

Adafruit: The expert for open source hardware

For more than ten years, programmers and tinkerers have benefited from the expertise of the Adafruit brand. Whether for beginners or proven experts, Adafruit has the right hardware components ready for your next IoT project.

Light comes into the dark with Adafruit NeoPixel

One extremely popular product line from the company's broad portfolio is Adafruit NeoPixel. These nifty LED components come in a wide variety of designs and color temperatures. NeoPixel modules are available, for example, in the form of a practical stick with five intelligent LEDs in red, green and blue (RGB) or in white (W), as a shield with 40 eye-saving RGBW LEDs in which all pixels are individually addressable, and as a jewel with seven RGBW LEDs that can be controlled with 8-bit PWM per channel.

Especially popular is the Adafruit NeoPixel Ring with 16 ultra-bright, intelligent RGB LEDs including integrated drivers, which you only need a single microcontroller to control. The trick is that the Adafruit NeoPixel rings form a chain, so to speak: You couple the output pin of one with the input pin of the other.

With the Adafruit NeoPixel products you can realize a wide variety of projects - there are virtually no limits to your creativity. With the help of an Arduino, a jumper cable and the appropriate software, you can control a NeoPixel ring individually and light up the small LEDs as you wish - either individually or in a specific combination. This way, you can also create your own Vu meter with the versatile LED components. Practical: To make programming Adafruit NeoPixel easier, Adafruit provides an Arduino library as well as a Python library.

Adafruit Feather Boards: Powerful hardware in a compact format

With Adafruit Feather, the hardware specialist from the States also has various powerful development boards in its range, which are essentially equivalent to an Arduino in terms of function. All of these boards are equipped with similar features; among other things, the pin assignment is the same and there are also many parallels when it comes to the microcontrollers and the battery charging properties. In addition, you can also find Feather boards with special devices like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular network connectivity as well as boards with microSD slot in Adafruit's product range. The name "Feather" is no coincidence: The boards are also characterized by being particularly compact and, above all, lightweight.

The range of top-class product highlights is wide: The STM32F405 Feather, for example, is the fastest CircuitPython board from Adafruit with an outstanding 168 MHz and meets the highest demands. It is equipped with a STEMMA QT / Qwiic port at the end, which makes it easy to connect to I2C sensors. The Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express, on the other hand, shines with Bluetooth Low Energy and can also be used with CircuitPython thanks to native USB support.

Another important part of Adafruit's portfolio are the FeatherWings. With these expansion modules, you can also include components such as a display or a motor driver in your IoT project. The FeatherWing Proto is a proven classic in Adafruit's portfolio. This is ideally suited as a prototyping add-on for all Feather boards. The Adafruit FeatherWing Wing Tripler Mini Kit, on the other hand, is ideal if you want to connect a Feather to two other FeatherWings at the same time.

With the Adafruit MIDI FeatherWing Kit you get a music capable FeatherWing, thanks to which you can equip your Feather with MIDI input and output jacks. And with the Adafruit FeatherWing OLED you can easily add a small OLED display to your Feather board - no soldering required.

Adafruit: What's behind the brand

As an expert in open-source hardware, Adafruit has long since established itself in the electronics industry. The company was founded in 2005 by Limor Fried. At the time, the talented and innovative electrical engineer was still a student at the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). To this day, Fried is CEO of the electronics giant, which is now headquartered in New York. The company's name also goes back to its founder: Fried was once known on the World Wide Web by the nickname "Ladyada" - a tribute to the famous IT pioneer Ada Lovelace.

Adafruit says it is committed to getting more people excited about technology and science - and thanks to its first-class products, the hardware expert from the USA is sure to succeed!
