Gemma Adafruit Gemma Is A Tiny Wearable Electronic Platform That Is Arduino ProgrammableIf DIY projects are your thing, then perhaps Adafruit Industries’s latest miniature wearable electronic platform will get your attention. Adafruit has just announced a spin-off to its Love Flora, and it’s called Gemma. The 1-inch Gemma is powered by a Attiny85 and it is also programmable with an Arduino IDE via USB. The Adafruit Gemma also features an on-board 3.3-volt regulator, power LED, a reset button, and a 1-inch diameter and 4mm-thick design. Gemma also works with Adafruit’s Flora NeoPixels. Adafruit says that Gemma is still in development and will be released soon, although it did not say when. Meanwhile, electronic enthusiasts can sign up on Adafruit’s official page to keep themselves notified.

Adafruit Gemma stuffs a wearable Arduino platform into a one-inch disc

Adafruit Gemma stuffs wearable Arduino into a oneinch disc

Adafruit‘s Flora wearable platform is barely a year old, yet it already has a little sibling on the way — and we do mean little. The newer Gemma is Arduino-programmable over USB like its relative, but measures just over half the size of the Flora at an inch in diameter. It’s even bordering on cute, as far as circuit boards go. Before developing any grand visions of wearable computers, though, be aware that Gemma’s features scale down with its size: there’s only three input/output pins, and a limited amount of memory won’t let it handle more than about a dozen of Adafruit’s NeoPixel lights. All the same, any aspiring tailor willing to trade flexibility for subtlety in a costume will likely want to sign up for notification of the Gemma’s in-stock date at the source link.
