ADABOX 022 - Fruit Jam Mini-Computer Kit
type: Product
description: This ADABOX takes its inspiration from our childhoods-weekends spent with computers like the Apple ] [, 286 PC, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Mac Plus, and TRS-80. These machines plugged into TVs and blazed our eyes with 8-bit glory as we played games, typed in programs from magazines, and patiently waited our turn while siblings loaded the latest software from cartridges or floppies. We didn't mind the limited memory, chunky graphics, or bleepy tunes-it was a self-contained electronic wonderland that could do almost anything. We turned those memories into a new design we call Fruit Jam. Inspired by IchigoJam DIY computer kit, this credit-card-sized computer drives an HDMI monitor and mini speaker, with USB keyboard and mouse input. But instead of running macOS, Windows, or Linux, it's programmable directly-like a microcontroller. That means you can write your own games and apps using interpreted Python scripts that live on the built-in 16MB flash disk-no complex APIs or compilers required. As always, we thank DigiKey for their unending support. This year has been a rollercoaster managing tariffs and inventory, and DigiKey has been a rock-solid partner in sourcing and logistics. Who is this for? Anyone who is interested in learning how to program and build interactive projects, and with access to a modern web browser. That's pretty much the minimum. You don't need to know a lot of physics or math, and just like an Art Degree isn't required for making art and being creative, you don't need to have a computer science or mechanical engineering degree. It helps if you're comfortable using computers but that's a skill most people pick up through life. If you know how to program already - great! If not, don't worry, we'll teach you enough to be dangerous, yet effective!
