Adafruit IO Plus Plan Upgrades Are Here!
One of the most consistent requests we’ve had since we launched IO Plus (IO+) was for a way to raise the IO+ account limits even further.
Library Update: Adafruit IO Arduino
If you have a shiny new piece of Adafruit WiFi AirLift hardware and want to use it with Arduino – you’re in luck! The Adafruit IO Arduino library has been updated to v3.1.0, including an update for using AirLift boards (such as the PyPortal or Metro M4 WiFi Lite) or breakouts.
Grab the new release from the Arduino Library Manager or download it from the Adafruit GitHub.
New IOT Hardware from Adafruit
Adafruit’s new WiFi boards have arrived. Both of these boards come with AirLift – our witty name for the ESP32 co-processor – and are compatible with both Arduino and CircuitPython. All AirLift boards can also connect to Adafruit IO.
Adafruit AirLift – ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor Breakout Board
Give your plain ol’ microcontroller project a lift with the Adafruit AirLift – a breakout board that lets you use the powerful ESP32 as a WiFi co-processor. You probably have your favorite microcontroller (like the ATmega328 or ATSAMD51), awesome peripherals and lots of libraries. But it doesn’t have WiFi built in! So lets give that chip a best friend, the ESP32. This chip can handle all the heavy lifting of connecting to a WiFi network and transferring data from a site, even if it’s using the latest TLS/SSL encryption (it has the needed root certificates pre-burned in). This breakout includes a crypto chip, too!

Adafruit Metro M4 Express AirLift (WiFi) – Lite
Give your next project a lift with AirLift – our witty name for the ESP32 co-processor that graces this Metro M4. You already know about the Adafruit Metro M4 featuring the Microchip ATSAMD51, with it’s 120MHz Cortex M4 with floating point support. With a train-load of FLASH and RAM, your code will be fast and roomy. And what better way to improve it than to add wireless? Now cooked in directly on board, you get a certified WiFi module that can handle all your TLS and socket needs, it even has root certificates pre-loaded. Since this is a lite version of the AirLift module, it has a 8MB flash and no crpyto chip.

New Adafruit Learning System Guides
Have you heard about making, cosplay and electronics, but don’t know where to start? Visit the Adafruit Learning System for over 1700 tutorials for electronics projects, ideas and techniques! We’ve selected a few of our favorite internet-of-things-based guides from the learning system:
ePaper FeatherWing Quote Display
Build this quote display using the Adafruit HUZZAH32 (ESP32) Feather and ePaper FeatherWing. Add a LiPo battery and you have a portable quote display.
Data Logging IOT Weight Scale
How many grams of coffee did I add to my pour-over? Is the bag of cat food empty? Did I remember to water the plant? What’s the weight of these screws in my workshop? To answer these questions (and more), you’re going to build an internet-enabled scale to track weight data over a period of time.
PyPortal Tides Viewer
Surfs up! Or is it? This guide will show how you can use an Adafruit PyPortal smart display to easily fetch tide information from the Internet and display it.
PyPortal Philips Hue Controller
In this Learn Guide, you’ll be building a touchscreen lighting controller with an Adafruit PyPortal to control a light, or groups of lights, connected to a Philips Hue bridge.
PyPortal Weather Station
Harness the power of nature with your PyPortal by building an internet-connected Weather Station!
Adafruit IO Basics: AirLift
If you want to the best way of bringing your project online – combine Adafruit IO and AirLift! Our ESP32-based AirLift boards and breakouts are the newest way to connect your project to Adafruit IO, our internet-of-things service for everyone!
Multi-Sensor IoT Environmental Sensor Box With CircuitPython
This guide will walk you through making an environmental monitoring device with GPS, Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, and Air Quality sensors, all updating to the cloud. Once build, this project takes readings occasionally and sends them to Adafruit IO, stamped with time and location. All that is required is an AC outlet and a WiFi network.
