Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA6167:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The **Adafruit Sparkle Motion with wFL Antenna** is the flagship in our series of "Sparkle Motion" boards, that are Adafruit's attempt to make the best small WLED-friendly smart LED driving board in the whole world. Adafruit's resident mermaid, [firepixie](https://learn.adafruit.com/u/firepixie) makes a lot of projects with WLED and she loves it! So how can Adafruit make something that will be powerful enough to drive advanced LED projects with built-in sensors. This version has support for an EXTERNAL antenna, which is NOT included! **You will need an antenna kit** such as Adafruit's [wFL to RP-SMA adapter](https://core-electronics.com.au/rp-sma-to-wfl-mhf3-ipex3-adapter.html) plus an [RP-SMA 2.4GHz antenna](https://core-electronics.com.au/2-4ghz-dipole-swivel-antenna-with-rp-sma-2dbi.html). This board has everything you could possibly want for big, small, or even massive WLED/xLights projects: - **Power option 1 via USB Type C PD** with a slide switch that selects between 5, 12 and 20V (24V pixels can usually run fine at 20V) - **Power option 2 via 2.1mm DC jack, center positive** - **Low forward-voltage diodes** so its good for up to 5A from either - **5 Amp fuse** to protect from over-current drive - **ESP32** mini module with wFL external port - the classic ESP32 has the best WLED support even if we'd prefer the 'S2 or 'S3. Comes with 4 MB of flash, dual core 240MHz Tensilica, WiFi, Bluetooth LE and Bluetooth Classic support. - **USB-serial converter** with auto-reset - **Three output signal terminal block sets with power and ground for each** - they'll be level shifted to 5V. Use 26-20AWG stranded or solid core wires, 5A rated. - **6 GPIO breakout pads** with a fourth level-shifted output, and 3 more GPIO plus power and ground. - **Built-in I2S microphone** for audio-reactive projects with digital quality audio - **Built-in IR receiver** for easy remote control integration - **Stemma QT I2C port** to connect external sensors/OLED/etc. - **Separate analog/digital input JST port** for analog input, potentiometer, microphone or external IR receiver - **User button on GPIO 0** plus Reset button - **Red built-in LED** on pin 4 - **Small built-in NeoPixel** on pin 2 - Compact enough you can use it for wearable projects - 1.3"x1.75" / 33mm x 45mm size with mounting holes To make it super fast to get started, terminal blocks are pre-installed: use any 20-26 AWG stranded or solid core wires with a flat-head screwdriver to attach semi-permanently. While Adafruit recommend it for use with WLED, it will also work just fine as a compact ESP32 board for use with Arduino, ESP-IDF, MicroPython, CircuitPython or any other ESP32 supported codebase.
