"Found this on my front porch today. Two battery packs, some sort of circuit board assembly, and a microcontroller thing. What is this thing?"
A: "We’re looking at multiple parts here. The board at the right of the photo is an Adafruit Feather STM32F405 microcontroller, as you surmise. The board at the left of the photo doesn’t seem have any model number on this side, but it appears to be a radio board — that’s a coax connector for an antenna at the lower left. It also shows the Adafruit logo, so it’s prolly sold as an I/O board for the controller. The foam is likely just scrap being used as a cheap non-conductive mounting surface."

#13 I find it extremely frustrating when the explanation is as obtuse as the object. I've been riding for 30 years, and have never seen one of these, nor have I ever heard of a 'pad spacer'. ...Still, I do enjoy these posts.

Mackenzie,
It's from Adafruit, the company famous for their DD8008S and attempted takeover of Apple... so everything else is obvious.
