Adafruit

Complete guide on our Adafruit module

Use the Adafruit module in Stellar 4.0 to create Normal tasks for an Adafruit product. Start with one task and one unit so you can check your setup before adding more.

Quick Start: Recommended Setup

1. Save a checkout profile and your proxy groups in Stellar.
2. Prepare your Adafruit account under Accounts → Adafruit.
3. Open Tasks, create or select an Adafruit group, then click Create Task.
4. Select normal, your Profile, proxy groups and saved Account. Paste the full Product URL.
5. Start with product Qty 1 and a Delay of around 5000 ms for restocks. Leave scheduling blank for manual timing.
6. Keep the Qty at the bottom at 1, click Create, then start the task when you are ready to buy. Watch its status and check your Adafruit order history after a checkout.

Preliminary Checklist

Before creating tasks, prepare your checkout information, account and product link.

Profile

Create and save your checkout profiles under the Profiles tab in Stellar. These contain your billing, shipping and payment info.

Proxies

• ISP proxies – Recommended for some of your tasks
• Residential proxies – Recommended for majority of your tasks
  • Save both proxy groups under the Proxies tab in Stellar.
    • If you're looking for proxies, check out Stella Proxies for high quality ISP and Residential proxies. As always, it's recommended to have multiple proxy providers, don't just rely on one.

A proxy group is a saved list of internet connections Stellar can use. Select the appropriate saved groups in the task; adding proxies to Stellar alone does not assign them to a task.

Accounts & Sessions

Adafruit Normal mode requires a saved account in Stellar 4.0. Guest checkout is not supported by this setup.

In Stellar 4.0, the Accounts tab replaces the older Sessions tab. An account stores your login details; a session is the saved login state created when the task signs in.

1. Open Accounts and select Adafruit.
2. Choose an account group, or use New Group to organize your Adafruit accounts.
3. Click Add Account. Give it a recognizable Account Name, then enter Account Email and Account Password.
4. Click Save. Return to your task and choose the saved account in Account.

Saving credentials does not itself complete a login. If you clear cookies later, the saved login session is removed and the task must sign in again.

Supported Modes

normal is the only mode shown in the current Adafruit module. Use it to attempt a purchase of the product specified in the task. There is no separate Monitor mode to pair with it.

Normal Mode Breakdown

Open an Adafruit task group, click Create Task and select normal. Fields marked with an asterisk in Stellar must be filled before creating the task.

Name

An optional label for recognizing the task, such as the product name.

Mode

Choose normal.

Profile

Select the saved profile containing the shipping, billing and payment details you want to use.

Monitor Proxy and Checkout Proxy

Select the saved proxy groups for product monitoring and checkout traffic. The existing recommendation is a mix of ISP and residential proxies. Test the quality of your setup before increasing task counts.

Product URL

Open the product page on Adafruit and copy its full URL from your browser’s address bar. Paste that link here, rather than a search-results or category page.

Example: https://www.adafruit.com/product/50

Qty beside Product URL

The number of units to request in an order. Start with 1. Increase it only when the retailer permits that quantity for the product.

Account

Choose the Adafruit account you saved under Accounts. Check that you selected the intended account before starting.

Delay

The pause between task attempts, in milliseconds. The form currently starts at 3000 ms. The existing Adafruit restock recommendation is around 5000 ms, which is 5 seconds. Follow newer staff release guidance if provided.

Cheapest Shipping?

Enable this to choose the cheapest available shipping option. Check the shipping details and total on the resulting order.

Start Time and End Time

Optional scheduling fields. Leave them blank when you want to control timing manually. If you set a schedule, keep Stellar and your computer running and start the task so it can wait for its scheduled time.

Qty at the bottom and Create

The bottom Qty controls how many tasks to create; it does not change the units per order. Start with 1, review the form, then click Create. Creating a task and starting it are separate steps.

FAQ

Where do I find the product link?

Use the URL of the exact Adafruit product page. Your cook group may also provide a verified product link for a release.

Should I increase quantity or create more tasks?

First confirm that one task is configured correctly. Extra tasks can increase proxy traffic and may attempt additional orders. Keep the product’s purchase limit in mind.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

I cannot create the task

Check the required fields, including Profile, Product URL, Qty, Account and Delay. Confirm that the profile and account were saved before opening the task form.

The account will not sign in

Check the saved email and password and try signing in to Adafruit manually to see whether the site requires an account action. Do not repeatedly reset the session without checking the actual error.

The task is not checking out

Confirm the product URL, stock and allowed quantity on the retailer’s site. Check the selected proxy groups and the task’s exact status. If the problem continues, send support the status and relevant logs, keeping passwords, proxy credentials and payment details private.
