• Comes assembled & tested with a free bonus JST cable!•5V input via PCB-style USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector• For charging single Lithium Ion/ Lithium Polymer 3.7/4.2v batteries (not for older 3.6/4.1v cells)•100m A charge current, adjustable to 500m A by soldering a jumper closed• Free 2-pin JST cable included!• For more details please click here for the datasheet Oh so adorable, this is the tiniest little lipo charger, so handy you can keep it any project box! Its also easy to use. Simply plug in the gold plated contacts into any USB (Universal Serial Bus) port & a 3.7V/4.2V lithium polymer or lithium ion rechargeable battery into the JST plug on the other end. There are two LEDs
- one red & one green. While charging, the red LED is lit. When the battery is fully charged & ready for use, the green LED turns on. Seriously, it could not get more easy. Charging is performed in three stages: first a preconditioning charge, then a constant-current fast charge & finally a constant-voltage trickle charge to keep the battery topped-up. The charge current is 100m A by default, so it will work with any size battery & USB (Universal Serial Bus) port. If you want you can easily change it over to 500m A mode by soldering closed the jumper on the back, for when you'll only be charging batteries with 500m Ah size or larger. For use with Adafruit Li Poly/ Li Ion batteries only! Other batteries may have different voltage, chemistry, polarity or pinout.

• Because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required• This reduces the power required to run the OLED & is why the display has such high contrast; we really like this miniature display for its crispness! • This breakout can be used with either an SPI or I2C interface

• Display is made up of 128x 32 white OLED pixels• The display makes its own light so no backlight is required• The driver chip communicates via I2C only•3.3.V regulator & level shifter included to make the screen compatible with any 5V controller• One of the easiest ways to get an OLED into your project!• Click here to view the detailed tutorial guide• To view the Arduino library please click here These displays are small, only about 1" diagonal, but very readable due to the high contrast of an OLED display. This display is made from 128x 32 individual white OLED pixels, each one is turned on or off by the controller chip. Because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required. This reduces the power required to run the OLED & is why the display has such high contrast; we really like this miniature display for its crispness! The driver chip SSD1306, communicates via I2C only. 3 pins are required to communicate with the chip in the OLED display, two of which are I2C data/clock pins. The OLED & driver require a 3.3V power supply & 3.3V logic levels for communication. To make it easier for our customers to use, we've added a 3.3v regulator & level shifter on board! This makes it compatible with any 5V microcontroller, such as the Arduino. The power requirements depend a little on how much of the display is lit but on average the display uses about 20m A from the 3.3V supply. Built into the OLED driver is a simple switch-cap charge pump that turns 3.3v-5v into a high voltage drive for the OLEDs, making it one of the easiest ways to get an OLED into your project! ...

• Fully dedicated PWM driver chip onboard handles all motor & speed controls over I2C• Only 2 pins, SDA & SCL, required to drive multiple motors & since its I2C you can also connect any other I2C devices or shields to the same pins. • This also makes it drop-in compatible with any Arduino, such as the Uno, Leonardo & Mega R3• Completely stackable design: 5 address-select pins means up to 32 stackable shields!•2 connections for 5V 'hobby' servos connected to the Arduino's high-resolution dedicated timer
- no jitter!•4 H-Bridges: TB6612 chipset provides 1.2A per bridge (3A peak) with thermal shutdown protection, internal kickback protection diodes• Can run motors on 4.5VDC to 13.5VDC• Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection (so, about 0.5% resolution)• Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil, interleaved or micro-stepping• Motors automatically disabled on power-up• Big terminal block connectors to easily hook up wires (18-26AWG) & power• Arduino reset button brought up top• Polarity protected 2-pin terminal block & jumper to connect external power, for separate logic/motor supplies• Tested compatible with Arduino UNO, Leonardo, ADK/ Mega R3, Diecimila & Duemilanove. Works with Mega/ADK R2 & earlier with 2 wire jumpers• Please click here for a in depth tutorial guide The Adafruit Motor/ Stepper/ Servo Shield for Arduino v 2 now has the TB6612 MOSFET driver: with 1.2A per channel & 3A peak current capability. It also has much lower voltage drops across the motor so you get more torque out of your batteries, & there are built-in flyback diodes as well. Instead of using a latch & the Arduino's PWM pins, we have a fully-dedicated PWM driver chip onboard. This chip handles all the motor & speed controls over I2C. Only two pins (SDA & SCL) are required to drive the multiple motors, & since it's I2C you can also connect any other I2C devices or shields to the same pins. This also makes it drop-in compatible with any Arduino, such as the Uno, Due, Leonardo & Mega R3. Completely stackable design: 5 address-select pins means up to 32 stackable shields: that's 64 steppers or 128 DC motors! What on earth could you do with that many steppers? I have no idea but if you come up with something send us a photo because that would be a pretty glorious project & a perfect Maplin Moment. Lots of other little improvements such as a polarity protection FET on the power pins & a bit of prototyping area. & the shield is assembled & tested here at Adafruit so all you have to do is solder on straight or stacking headers & the terminal blocks.
