Robin and I have a meeting with SparkFun next week. Among topics we'll likely discuss is possible new hardware.
Teensy 5.x is not up for discussion (NXP isn't shipping Cortex-M85 yet). Neither is RT1170 up for discussion right now, as the chips are physically too large. Please DO NOT waste time bringing these up. Yeah, I know everyone wants to talk next-gen Teensy, but this thread is meant to be about useful accessories.
I would like to hear your thoughts on possible accessory boards. Historically Teensy 4.x has only 2 such boards from PJRC, Audio Shield and OctoWS2811, plus some unassembled kits. Today I believe SparkFun only Teensy specific accessories are QWIIC adaptors and an Arduino Shield adaptor.
If Robin & I could talk SparkFun into making only 1 or 2 more (ideally to get started with more to come later) which types of accessory boards would you want to see? It doesn't have to be something you'd personally use... think of all the times we get questions on this forum where someone is struggling to make a specific type of peripheral work. What boards could SparkFun make that would help the most?
(....I'm intentionally holding back my own list for now because I really want to hear your unbiased thoughts first....)
