Description:
The Adafruit Prop-Maker FeatherWing is an expansion board designed to enhance the capabilities of Adafruit Feather microcontroller boards, enabling the creation of interactive props with ease. It integrates essential features such as a NeoPixel port, 3W RGB LED drivers, a triple-axis accelerometer with tap detection, and a class D audio amplifier. This combination allows for the development of props with dynamic lighting, motion detection, and sound effects, making it ideal for projects like sabers, swords, toys, and cosplay accessories.
Designed for seamless integration, the FeatherWing provides a 3-pin JST connector for direct attachment of NeoPixel strips, with a level shifter ensuring clean voltage signals for glitch-free operation. The onboard LIS3DH accelerometer facilitates motion, tilt, and tap detection, while the audio amplifier supports 8Ω 1W or 4Ω 3W speakers for sound output. Additionally, the board includes power management features, allowing for low-power operation by controlling power to the RGB LED, NeoPixels, and speaker amplifier, making it suitable for battery-powered projects.
Please note: A few of the onboard hardware elements use PWM and analog output it is recommended the Feather M0 Express or Feather M4 or ESP32 series be used. They’ll work best with this wing and let you make the most of it.
