Meet Limor "ladyada" Fried at Adafruit Industries!

[@matthiaspaulsson8827]

Limor, you are a hero to me. never stop what you are doing!

[@nbtd1959]

I love her! If all businesses took her approach to actually helping the customers this world would be a much better, and smarter place to live. She's one great woman..

[@KimasM]

When I was a teenager I started electronics and stumbled upon her site (before the industry) found awesome things. Wanted to build. None of them worked, didn't knew anything about microcontrollers back then, but still haven't given up on this hobby. Until this day I create things and more and more complicated ones. Thank you for being an inspiration and providing ability to understand new things for me and for all of us.

[@polarunion]

Electronics to most people is like magic. They don't understand it, they're mystified, and they ultimately think it's too difficult to understand. You're educating. You're spurring creativity and invention. You're business is great, but the true value of your business, is your education and the spread of knowledge. You're training a whole new world of young engineers that will use your products! You're also fostering invention within your country and beyond. Congrats.

[@marklowe7431]

The electronics industry has been starving for someone like this. In Australia we had Dick Smith who in the 70's and 80's did the same and it was the go to for electronics education, kits etc. Sadly Dick Smith was bought by a larger company and destroyed. Adafruit now the no 1 place to send people who want to learn or need a decent functional module etc. Awesome work. Also great to see women not only getting into electronics but pioneering it too.

[@SealDreven]

You and your team are amazing! Thank you so much for your effort and all the work.

[@dasficus]

I love you Boss, you inspire me ;) Long live to LadyAda ...

[@fredpinczuk7352]

She's awesome, great company. Great service.

[@im4science77]

Thank you Limor, learning electronics through Adafruit was full of fun.

[@MrSupergee]

I've ordered a few things from this company, super fast service and fair prices. Thanks for all your hard work with the videos, tutorials and documentation.

[@3NTINV]

Very intelligent chick....Been following her through Make articles, and now also in Nuts and Volts sections magazines...Would be nice to meet this intelligent gal...

[@mikegillingham9217]

I am going to give it a try. Been in electronics for over 40 years and can learn new things. Mike

[@Durrpadil]

@Ladyada - Your makeup is ON POINT you look beautiful!

[@blave549]

I'm a huge AF fan and customer, for over three years I think. I started with the Tweet-a-Watt.. Excellent!

[@malloryakikonoramiller973]

Update: back in school for EE #femgineer

[@romisana]

+Mallory Akiko Nora Miller I'm happy to know you're a future EE. There are very few ladies in this industry, but the challenge is so worthwhile. Wish you the best in your endeavors!

[@mkschreder]

Time to get going. People who contribute the most earn the most - should be taught in primary school to all kids.

[@guidad542]

I'm studying mathematics and while I love -almost- every moment of it, I still got the "Wow, I should reconsider my choices" moment. Still I'm doing my part by contributing to FOSSoftware. Hope sometime I'll get my hands dirty with hardware!

[@TheRoanfourie]

I really like your products and the way that you share the information. But what might be the greatest is that you are such an inspiration for makers and young Electronics enthusiasts, even more so, what a great inspiration for woman in the industry!

[@alchemistclub3865]

I love your work! My students are currently using some of your great ideas

[@rupertrussell1]

Such fab stuff you sell, And your tutorials are Wonderful. Keep up the great work. If I lived in NY I would love to work you AF.

[@Braeden123698745]

She's actually the coolest person ever.

[@irobotroomba2483]

Limor fried, wath you do its really cool. You inspire me. You are the only person that do electronic like this. Wath i learn of you, its that important to go alway trough wath we do. Dont stop, you are a really great person with a lot of pasion.

[@jstavene]

much respect, a credit to the open source movement,,,awesome

[@barbaralee8363]

This is so great!

[@razorr1920]

Omg, I saw years back when I was in college.

[@valshaped]

I bought a Pi Zero from Adafruit a while back, and I loved it so much I had to buy another! Right now I'm in the planning phase of creating a USB mod for the New 3DS, that'll allow me to plug my 3DS into my PC and access the internal SD storage without removing the back plate. I plan to use 100% Adafruit parts for the mod, and I'm glad you have some of the weird/obscure products you do, otherwise I'd be entirely out of luck!

[@maikydb]

I want to learn my kids about electronics and circuitboards Are there any programs that can do this on a playful way?

[@lblittle1207]

Fantastic job on script file to put bootloader on SD and root system on external HDD.

[@z0rg-z5o]

i love her so much

[@littlescalemusic]

Go ladyada! Fantastic tutorials and products. :D

[@diyinstinct4502]

I see now what is Adafruit I used and familiar Adafruit parts but didn't interest the name but now I see. Thanks for sharing many useful parts and source for home diyer like me!

[@gastonlutri]

Hi Limor, please write a library of the ST7735 for PICs (PIC24F). Thank you very much, I wish you the best!

[@roladun]

Great Lady Limor

[@TreachMarkets]

How do you guys afford downtown Manhattan? That's what mystifies me. Keep up the great work!

[@lanceseidman]

I've built a new startup around some stuff I bought from you, digital clothing. Took a year to figure it out but finally did it :).

[@drmikeyg]

What a woman!!! I want a clone of her.Can they do that yet?.Thanks Adafruit. You guys are the greatest.

[@kingofkong510]

Thank you.

[@pixelplex6527]

Ladyada is the best!

[@SoranSuleiman]

Keep the good work you good people...

[@zakaria90092]

all my respect zakaria from morocco

[@EasyDYITech]

Thanks Lady Ada. We love what your doing. I've been tinkering around with electronics and programming since the 80's when my dad introduced me to a radioshack project book. Now we have a resource we can use to make more complicated projects. I'm so excited to get started on the next one. :-) keep up the good work P.S. I have an ideal for a perpetual motion machine (near perceptual motion) do you know anyone or forums for discussing such things Id like to get some feed back before I attempt to build it.

[@Thatsatoomanypetedavidsons]

keep what your doing WE LOVE IT !!! :)

[@tcbetka]

Well said...ditto!

[@nettyvoyager6336]

when was the last time you saw a Genie poof appear off something ?

[@Sprank900]

very good, way to go. I'm impressed by what you've done and am taking on learning electronics finally, as I've always been curious. Now,in the spirit of positive criticism, may I suggest the importance of good sound when making videos. Good sound makes bad video footage better, hire a good sound guy. I know, I know, you think you can do it yourself, it's a simple concept that most feel is below them, but this video says you don't take yourself seriously, ensure you get good sound on your videos.

[@pertileluca]

Even more better! Thnks

[@H3adcrash]

Cool video! :D

[@MagicDrum]

What fun!

[@reeseyme9613]

an excellent place to scope for arduino stuffs.....

[@paulaaraneda7581]

finally a woman in STEM with pink hair :')

[@russell28533]

Wow, Limor looks really pretty in this video :) It's something about attractive geeks that gets me going.

[@adrianhenry1982]

Teach me master , your student awaits ....

[@keithy630]

Have you thought about running for President one day?

[@PorkyFighter]

[@Gilvin]

she's smart, and she's hot!

[@edwardcantillo7243]

Yes!!!!

[@highlander1387]

Lady Ada/Limor you are HOT!! OK good question..is there a Adafruit video, using a feather & another one, for a lightsaber build, but using a tr-luxeon/cree? thank you, also, are those boards compatible with other quality brands of 144/m RGB strips?

[@jasonstapleshackalot]

watch out snubs i might got a new crush loll ..........I love Geeky women

[@kjellare]

subbed :D

[@tylerwaite8444]

I think I love you. lol

[@Furkidd]

[@artsylowtekk2502]

that sounded all good and reasonable. till i heard the line "giving the recipe away for free". aint that communism? i hope senator mccarthy gets you!

[@cnccarving938]

+Artsy Lowtekk in this industry ""recipe"" is priceless.. in all meaning.. imagine, just because you know how to make example an led chip, it doesn't mean you can make affordable, whats more you just simply can not start to produce due to the jungle of copyrights.. however you can make on your backyard for your pleasure.. this company wont break giving away schematics or drawings... indeed it pulls more customer..

[@malloryakikonoramiller973]

It's called open source boo

[@lluger]

Adafruit may give away the recipe, they want to sell you the ingredients. Home Depot and Lowes do the same thing with their workshops and project ideas on their website. (this is what is known as capitalism)

[@dirtyrotten666]

gj love the shows. Have a huge crush on ladyada. cant wait for your new shop. keep up the good work.
