Adafruit

Adafruit was established in 2005 by MIT graduate Limor "Ladyada" Fried. Her vision was to create an online hub for learning about electronics and to provide well-designed products for makers, regardless of their age or experience. Over the past decade, Adafruit has expanded significantly, now employing over 100 people in New York City and operating a spacious factory of more than 50,000 square feet. The company has broadened its product range to include various tools, equipment, and electronic components, all personally chosen, tested, and approved by Limor before they hit the Adafruit store. Adafruit is proudly a 100% woman-owned manufacturing business and holds certifications as a Minority and Woman-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE), a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE), and a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB).

Nov 13, 2024 | blog.adafruit.com | Anne Barela

Pieter on Skatterbencher is a frequent overclocker and he’s taken on boosting the new Raspberry Pi 5 to unheard of clock speeds. We tried everything to make our Pi the fastest Pi in the world. That includes changing the operating system, subzero cooling with liquid nitrogen, boosting the power circuitry, and even swapping out the crystal oscillator.In this blog post I try to share some of the findings and insights from the several weeks of Pi hacking in collaboration with ElmorLabs.
