Design with AdaGator Side White in Cirkit DesignerThe AdaGator Side White is a versatile prototyping board tailored for Adafruit's Feather development boards. It facilitates rapid prototyping by offering a solderless connection platform for various electronic components and modules. This board is ideal for hobbyists, educators, and professionals who require a quick and reliable way to prototype their projects with Feather boards.
This circuit involves a 12V battery powering a relay system controlled by a directional switch. The relays are connected through terminal blocks and are used to switch between different outputs, indicated by the AdaGator Top components.

This is a multi-channel load cell measurement system with several JYS60 amplifiers connected to load cells for weight or force sensing. The amplified signals are directed to a DAQ system for data capture, and power is supplied through a barrel jack. Grounding is achieved via an AdaGator Side Black component.

This circuit uses an Arduino UNO to read temperature data from four MAX6675 thermocouple modules and displays the readings via serial communication. The ESP8266 NodeMCU is also connected, likely for wireless data transmission, and power is distributed through an AdaGator Side Red and Blue for 5V and GND connections respectively.

This circuit features an Arduino Mega ADK microcontroller interfaced with a water sensor and a 16x2 LCD display. The water sensor's signal is read by the Arduino's analog input to measure water levels, and the LCD is used to display the water level percentage. A trimmer potentiometer is connected to adjust the LCD's contrast, and a resistor is used to provide backlight for the LCD.
Open Project in Cirkit Designer| Pin Number | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1-xx | Corresponding to Feather Board Pins | Connects directly to Feather pins |

Testing the Circuit:
Q: Can I use the AdaGator Side White with non-Feather boards? A: The AdaGator Side White is designed specifically for Adafruit Feather boards. Using it with other boards may require modifications or may not be possible.
Q: How many components can I connect to the AdaGator Side White? A: The number of components you can connect depends on the complexity of your circuit and the number of available connection points on the board.
Q: Do I need to solder any connections on the AdaGator Side White? A: No, the AdaGator Side White is designed for solderless prototyping. However, for permanent installations, soldering may be preferred for reliability.
// Example code for blinking an LED connected to the AdaGator Side White
// and an Adafruit Feather board.
void setup() {
// Initialize the digital pin as an output.
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // LED on most Feather boards attached to pin 13
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
delay(1000); // Wait for a second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Turn the LED off
delay(1000); // Wait for a second
}
Note: The example code provided is for illustrative purposes and assumes the use of an Adafruit Feather board compatible with Arduino IDE. The pin number and functionality may vary depending on the specific Feather board used.
