Adafruit released the contents of their first ADABOX. Also, you can subscribe for the next ADABOX starting Monday 9/12/16. It’ll be shipped 90 days after that.

Here’s the list of contents:

  • Feather 32u4 AdaLogger - pre-soldered with Feather Stacking Headers
  • NeoPixel Feather Wing - pre-soldered
  • USB Cable - A/Micro B
  • Assembled Standard LCD 16x2 + extras - White on Blue
  • Male/Male Jumper Wires - 40 x 6”
  • Piezo Buzzer
  • TMP36 Analog Temperature Sensor
  • Diffused RGB LED
  • Short Flex Sensor
  • Full Size Breadboard
  • AdaBox Parts Bag
  • Collectible AdaBox001 Pin (subscription only!)

I have to say I’m a little disappointed, I would have expected more value. Plus it’s their own dev board, not something more common like an Arduino or a Pi zero

These types of subscription boxes rarely seem to be a good deal. Many of them start off strong and then quickly become boxes of expensive junk. Others are simply junk all along.
