Product description: FeatherWing - 6 Port Grove + STEMMA QT - Expansion Module for Feather Boards - Adafruit 5862
Adafruit 's FeatherWing is a versatile module designed for Feather boards , allowing easy connection of Grove and STEMMA QT sensors and modules. With 3 analog/digital connectors, 1 UART connector, and 2 I2C connectors , it allows you to develop a variety of electronics projects, from prototyping to educational solutions. The built-in vertical STEMMA QT port provides additional flexibility when connecting I2C devices. Seeed's Grove system offers simplicity with standard 4-pin connectors , but requires appropriate port assignments to device functions (e.g. UART sensors to UART port). The module is compatible with most Feather boards, although there are limitations to some models, such as the number of analog inputs on the RP2040 Feather. The kit includes an assembled FeatherWing module and 16-pin connectors for soldering yourself.
Main features of the module
- Grove and STEMMA QT compatible : allows easy connection of I2C, analog, digital and UART modules
- Flexible ports : 3x analog/digital, 1x UART, 2x I2C and an additional STEMMA QT port for I2C devices
- Easy assembly : the kit includes pins for soldering and fitting to any Feather board
- Compact size : fits Feather tiles allowing for tidy and aesthetic design
- Support for a wide range of projects : from education to advanced prototypes thanks to compatibility with popular modules
Compatible software
The module does not require complicated software - just the appropriate library for Grove and Feather modules. STEMMA QT allows easy operation of I2C devices using popular libraries in Arduino IDE, CircuitPython or MicroPython .
