Modernize an old arcade controller with a Pico RP2040 - no soldering required
Big, weird arcade control sticks can be found at yard sales, but they were meant for old Windows PCs and have PS/2 connectors and outdated brains. You can modernize and customize them with an RPi Pico and USB output for all your gaming/emulation needs!

Simple IR demodulation with STEMMA
The Adafruit TSSP77038 IR Demodulator Breakout is a simple IR demodulator in that it doesn't do any filtering on the codes received: you really just get the demodulated-from-38KHz-signal output. This board will work nicely for a variety of IR detecting projects. Using a 2mm pitch STEMMA JST PH cable with headers or alligator clips on the end, you can easily wire this board without any soldering.

Two sensors in one BFF
The Adafruit BNO055 + BMP280 BFF provides a way for you to turn many QT Py boards into powerful 9 degree-of-freedom (9DoF) motion plus pressure/altitude sensing projects that are super small. This PCB is designed to fit onto the back of any QT Py or Xiao board. It can be soldered into place or made removable using pin and socket headers.

IR remote control decoding with STEMMA
The Adafruit Infrared IR Remote Receiver has two selectable IR receiver chips. Usage is simple: Power the board by connecting V+ and ground to 3 to 5VDC, point a 38KHz remote control at the sensors and press some buttons. The demodulated IR envelope is piped out the Signal pin into your microcontroller which will then need to decode it.

Object detection with STEMMA
An optical reflective sensor is a composite electronic device with two elements - an IR LED and an IR photo-transistor. The IR LED blasts light, and when something bounces the light back to the photo-transistor, the transistor turns on and the amount of current flowing through it increases. This makes the sensor great at detecting when something is in front of the sensor.

Half USB key, half temperature-humidity sensor
It's half USB key, half temperature-humidity sensor... it's the Adafruit SHT4x Trinkey. There's an ATSAMD21 microcontroller on board with just enough circuitry to keep it happy. One pin of the microcontroller connects to a NeoPixel LED. Another pin is used as a capacitive touch input on the end. A reset button lets you enter bootloader mode if necessary.
