We hope you've enjoyed this year's guide; it was really difficult to confine ourselves to just AI, Education, Wearables, LEDs, and IoT. For example, I'd hoped to include categories like Home (Arduino's sole dev board release this year, the Nano Matter), Music (Adafruit Music Maker FeatherWing), Cosplay (Adafruit RP2040 Prop-Maker Feather), and Robotics (Pimoroni Yukon), maybe Displays for the new crop of microcontroller + display combos (I'm obsessed with Soldered's Inkplate 6 Motion), and even a look at boards suitable for Digital Fabrication (Adafruit's Arduino Mega-sized Grand Central M4 Express featuring the SAMD51). As a last resort, I've wrestled this last page back as a way to jam in more of the boards and dev kits that impressed me this year.
In lieu of a full music category, allow me…
