If you are on Google+ and want to join, post a message/comment on Adafruit’s post on Google+ and say you want to show off a project and we will add you the “Show and Tell” circle. Then just look for the hangout announcement on the very same page later for your invite. There’s an 8 to 10 (at the same time) people limit per hangout, so if it’s full try later or just pop by next week same time. Some weeks are packed!
At 9:30pm ET you will see a link to the hang out. Just keep your mics muted until we call on you and have your project ready.
For those who just want to watch, you’ll be able to watch it live on Google+ ‘s broadcast feature on Adafruit’s page AND it will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube automatically.

NEW PRODUCT – Right Angle USB cable
http://www.adafruit.com/product/1318
NEW PRODUCT – Right Angle USB cable – A/MicroB – This here is your standard A to micro-B USB cable, for USB 1.1 or 2.0, but with a twist! Literally! Instead of the cable coming straight out from the connector, there’s a right angle bend. We thought this might make a good pair for a Raspberry Pi as the cable doesn’t stick out as far. We got cables with extra-beefy 24 AWG power wires, and 28 AWG data lines, so it’s particularly good for power-hungry devices like micro-computers and phones.
Approximately 5 feet / 1.5 meter long
In stock and shipping now!

NEW PRODUCT – SMT Breakout PCB for 48-QFN or 48-TQFP – 3 Pack!
http://www.adafruit.com/products/1377
NEW PRODUCT – SMT Breakout PCB for 48-QFN or 48-TQFP – 3 Pack! – Beguiled by a fancy new chip that is only available in a QFP or QFN pinout? This breakout PCB set will make your life much much easier and get you prototyping faster than ever. One side has a 48-QFP pin out with traces going to two rows of 0.1″ spaced holes, the other has 48-QFN (7mm body). Solder your chip to either side and you’re ready to rock on any solderless breadboard. There’s even a THM pad on the opposite side of the QFN body pad so you can fill it with solder for a heat sink and/or connect a wire to it (say when the pad must be grounded).
Each item comes with three PCBs, each PCB is identical and can support either a 7mm square QFP or 7mm square QFN chip. Standard thickness PCBs, with 0.7″ spacing be... more »

NEW PRODUCT – Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Weatherproof Strip 30 LED -1m
http://www.adafruit.com/product/1376
NEW PRODUCT – Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Weatherproof Strip 30 LED -1m – You thought it couldn’t get better than our world-famous 32-LED-per-meter Digital LED strip (http://adafruit.com/products/306) but we will prove you wrong! These NeoPixel strips have 30 digitally-addressable pixel LEDs per meter and are very affordable and are only 12.5 mm wide, 10 mm if you remove the strip from the casing.
There are some things to watch for:
• These LED’s use about 9.5 Watts max (~2 Amps @ 5V) per meter. The max rating is assuming all the LEDs are on full white, usually the actual current for colorful design is about 1/3 to 1/2 the max current. A good power supply such as our 5V 2A or 10A supply is key!
• To make the strip thin and easier... more »

Tutorial: BeagleBone Black: Installing Operating Systems @ The Adafruit Learning System
http://learn.adafruit.com/beaglebone-black-installing-operating-systems
The BeagleBone Black includes a 2GB on-board eMMC flash memory chip. It comes with the Angstrom distribution factory pre-installed. You can flash new operating systems including Debian, Ubuntu, Android, and others. The following pages will illustrate the steps to getting the latest of each type of supported distribution onto the on-board eMMC.
In addition to the eMMC, you can also boot directly from a microSD card similarly to the original BeagleBone.
We’re starting out with instructions for Angstrom, but hope to add to it in the future! If you don’t have a BeagleBone Black yet, you can add your name to the list to be notified for when we get them back in stock.
