This 900 MHz radio version can be used for either 868 MHz or 915 MHz transmission/reception – the exact radio frequency is determined when you load the software since it can be tuned around dynamically.
At the Feather 32u4's heart is at ATmega32u4 clocked at 8 MHz and at 3.3 V logic. This chip has 32 K of flash and 2 K of RAM, with built in USB so not only does it have a USB-to-Serial program & debug capability built in with no need for an FTDI-like chip, it can also act like a mouse, keyboard, USB MIDI device, etc.
To make it easy to use for portable projects, we added a connector for any 3.7 V Lithium polymer batteries and built in battery charging. You don't need a battery, it will run just fine straight from the micro USB connector. But, if you do have a battery, you can take it on the go, then plug in the USB to recharge. The Feather will automatically switch over to USB power when its available. We also tied the battery thru a divider to an analog pin, so you can measure and monitor the battery voltage to detect when you need a recharge.

The Feather 32u4 Radio uses the extra space left over to add an RFM69HCW 868/915 MHz radio module. These radios are not good for transmitting audio or video, but they do work quite well for small data packet transmission when you ned more range than 2.4 GHz (BT, BLE, WiFi, ZigBee)

With the PiEnergy Mini, you can operate your Raspberry Pi with a voltage of 6 to 36 V DC. You can use the button integrated on the board to both power up and power down your Raspberry Pi.
Communication with the Raspberry Pi is via GPIO4, but this connection can also be cut by removing a resistor to use the pin freely. Thanks to the ultra-flat design, it can also be used in many housings. The pin header is included and not soldered on to keep the design even flatter.

The DIY Mini Digital Oscilloscope Kit (with shell) is an easy-to-build kit for a tiny digital oscilloscope. Besides the power switch, it has only one other control, a rotary encoder with a built-in pushbutton. The kit's microcontroller comes preprogrammed. The 0.96" OLED display has a resolution of 128 x 64 pixels. The oscilloscope features one channel that can measure signals up to 100 kHz. The maximum input voltage is 30 V, the minimum voltage is 0 V.

Inventor 2040 W is a multi-talented board that does (almost) everything you might want a robot, prop or other mechanical thing to do. Drive a couple of fancy motors with encoders attached? Yep! Add up to six servos? Sure? Attach a little speaker so you can make noise? No problem! It's also got a battery connector so you can power your inventions from AA/AAA or LiPo batteries and carry your miniature automaton/animated top hat/treasure chest that growls at your enemies around with you untethered.
You also get a ton of options for hooking up sensors and other gubbins – there's two Qw/ST connectors (and an unpopulated Breakout Garden slot) for attaching breakouts, three ADC pins for analog sensors, photoresistors and such, and three spare digital GPIO you could use for LEDs, buttons or digital sensors. Speaking of LEDs, the board features 12 addressable LEDs (AKA Neopixels) – one for each servo and GPIO/ADC channel.

An all-in-one, Pico W powered industrial/automation controller with 2.46 GHz wireless connectivity, relays and a plethora of inputs and outputs. Compatible with 6 V to 40 V systems.
Automation 2040 W is a Pico W / RP2040 powered monitoring and automation board. It contains all the great features from the Automation HAT (relays, analog channels, powered outputs and buffered inputs) but now in a single compact board and with an extended voltage range so you can use it with more devices. Great for controlling fans, pumps, solenoids, chunky motors, electronic locks or static LED lighting (up to 40 V).
All the channels (and the buttons) have an associated indicator LED so you can see at a glance what's happening with your setup, or test your programs without having hardware connected.
