Phil from Adafruit sez, "Adafruit released and shipped one of the only maker/hacker subscription boxes."

Ecosystem (n.) – A group of interconnected elements, formed by the interaction of a community of organisms to their environment.

Feather (n.) – A complete line of development boards and accessories from Adafruit that are standalone, stackable, and help your project fly.

The Adafruit Feather ecosystem now spans over fifteen boards and thirty-five FeatherWings, covering themes ranging from robotics, to sound, to the internet of things. AdaBox001 is designed to introduce you to the ecosystem of the Adafruit Feather. If you've already explored the Feather ecosystem, welcome back. We promise there's plenty to make, learn, and explore whether you're a beginner or an expert.
