Description

Would you like to learn electronics, with an all-in-one board that has sensors and LEDs built in Circuit Playground is here – and it’s the best way to practice programming on real hardware with no soldering or sewing required

This is the Classic version of Circuit Playground, which comes with an ATmega32u4. It’s designed to be used with Arduino IDE and code.org CS Discoveries only. It even comes with Firmata already programmed in, so you can use it immediately with code.org Discoveries without any preparation or updates.

If you would like to use Make Code or Circuit Python, check out Circuit Playground Express, which can be used with Make Code, Circuit Python or Arduino.

Circuit Playground features an ATmega32u4 processor, just like our popular Flora. The board’s also round and has alligator-clip pads around it so you don’t have to solder or sew to make it work. You can power it from USB, a AAA battery pack, or with a Lipoly battery (for advanced users). Just program your code into the board then take it on the go

1. ATmega32u4 Processor, running at 3.3V and 8MHz
2. Micro USB port for programming and debugging with Arduino IDE
3. USB port can act like serial port, keyboard, mouse, joystick or MIDI

Circuit Playground has built-in USB support. Built in USB means you plug it in to program it and it just shows up.  All you really need is a Micro-B data/sync USB cable – not included! With the new 1.6.4+ Arduino IDE, it takes only a few seconds to add support. The Circuit Playground has USB HID support, so it can act like a mouse or keyboard and attach directly to computers.

 Features:

1. Includes I2C, UART, 8 pins that can do analog inputs, multiple PWM output
2. 7 pads can act as capacitive touch inputs and the 1 remaining is a true analog output
3. Green “ON” LED so you know its powered
4. Red “#13” LED for basic blinking
5. Reset button
6. ATSAMD21 ARM Cortex M0 Processor, running at 3.3 V and 48 MHz
7. 2 MB of SPI Flash storage, used primarily with Circuit Python to store code and libraries
8. Micro USB port for programming and debugging
9. USB port can act like serial port, keyboard, mouse, joystick or MIDI

Package Includes:

1 x Adafruit Circuit Playground Classic
