Wearable Sensors

EL tape is the big sister to EL wire - it has the same glow effect but with a flat, wide shape instead of a round shape. The glowing part of the...

A small, portable inverter for EL wire. Powers off of 4 AAA batteries (not included!), it can drive 3-4 meters (10 to 13 feet) of our high-brigh...

Bend all audio files to your will with the Adafruit Music Maker FeatherWing! It's a fun-size version of our Music Maker shield for Arduino! This...

This is a simple LED-illuminated tactile button with an orange cap. It’s just like a basic tactile button, but it lights up orange! So now you can ...

This is the Mindwave Mobile from NeuroSky, an EEG headset that safely measures and transfers the power spectrum (alpha waves, beta waves, etc) d...

Listen up! This 2.8" x 1.2" speaker is a great addition to any audio project where you need 4 ohm impedance and 3W or less of power. We parti...

This 316L stainless steel thread falls somewhere between a thick thread and a thin yarn. Most sewing machines wouldn't be happy with this thread...

The SparkFun EL Sequencer is a board that contains an Arduino-compatible microcontroller, and circuitry for controlling up to eight strands of elec...

What's better than a single LED? Lots of LEDs! Matrices like these are 'multiplexed' - so to control 64 LEDs you need 16 pins. That's a lot of p...

Get glowing in seconds with our Electroluminescent (EL) Panel Starter Pack! This pack contains everything you need for your first EL panel project,...

After months of searching, we finally have what we consider to be the ultimate conductive thread. It's thin, strong, smooth, and made completely...

INTRODUCTION Mixtile GENA is a wearable electronic development Kit based on MT6260 and nRF51822 dual-processor architecture. GENA is: A fully-...

This is the LilyPad Arduino Simple Board. It’s controlled by an ATmega328 with the Arduino bootloader. It has fewer pins than the LilyPad Arduin...

A simple flex sensor 2.2" in length. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. Patented technology by Spectra Symbol ...

This battery holder is by far the easiest way to add a battery to a small wearable project. By coincidence, there are two small 1mm diameter holes ...

This black fiber optic fabric is a cool and unique way to add some shine to your e-textiles project. There are optical fibers actually woven into t...

You've done something amazing in the world of biohacking. Maybe you made and shared a low-cost DNA sequencer, or constructed your first genom...

You made a catapult! Adafruit offers a fun and exciting "badges" of achievement for electronics, science and engineering. We believe everyone...

EL inverters allow you to drive EL wires. This particular EL inverter accepts 3V input and outputs 110VAC to drive EL wire. The wires both terminat...
