Adafruit Joy FeatherWing for all Feathers
63 units available with a short lead time.
The Adafruit Joy FeatherWing adds a 2-axis joystick and five buttons to any Feather board over I2C — no GPIO or analogue pins consumed. Using Adafruit's Seesaw technology, an onboard helper microcontroller reads the joystick and button inputs and presents them as a clean I2C interface, compatible with every Feather.
The FeatherWing stacks easily with other Wings on the shared I2C bus. Two address-select jumpers provide four I2C address options for multi-wing setups or avoiding conflicts. An optional interrupt line can alert your Feather when a button is pressed or released.
