Adafruit GEMMA v2 - Miniature wearable electronic platform
We have ✅ 12 available of the AF-1222 in our Sydney warehouse. An extra 32 units available with a short lead time.
The Adafruit GEMMA V2 is a tiny, coin-sized wearable microcontroller board powered by an ATtiny85 processor. At just 28 mm in diameter, it's small enough to fit into any sewable or wearable project, and affordable enough to dedicate to every build. Program it over USB with the Arduino IDE and bring your wearable ideas to life.
Version 2 upgrades the original GEMMA with a Micro-B USB connector (replacing Mini-B) and adds a convenient on/off switch. Three GPIO pins with sew-friendly pads make it easy to connect sensors, LEDs, and other components using conductive thread or alligator clips.
