Description
The Arduino Uno is one of the best known microcontrollers on the planet. Based on the Atmel ATMEGA328 chipset, the Uno is a versatile, easy to use, programmable brain for your electronic projects. It is great for grabbing data from sensors or other inputs and using that data to drive motors, displays, or other outputs.
The Uno is programmed using the Arduino IDE software, which is freely available from the Arduino website. The software is used to write code which is then uploaded to the Arduino and stored internally so it can run on its own. The software, documentation, and wide variety of tutorials available make this a great choice for anyone looking to get into the world of programming and electronics.
The board has a single USB “B” port (used to program and power the board) a DC Barrel jack for power (7 – 15VDC input), 14 digital pins capable of being inputs our outputs along with 6 10-bit analog inputs. The Uno also has a hardware serial port, SPI, and I2C; these are typically used to communicate with other boards, advanced sensors, displays, or wireless modules.
Rather than an FTDI chip, USB to TTL serial conversion is handled on board by another Atmel chip – the ATMega16U2. This secondary microcontroller acts like a hardware FTDI chip, converting USB Serial from your computer to TTL Serial for the microcontroller, but also allows the Uno to act like a Keyboard, Mouse or Joystick input with the computer.
To get the Arduino Uno up and running you will need a Windows / Mac / Linux computer with a USB port and the Arduino IDE software installed (Version 1.0 or newer) . To connect the Arduino to your computer a USB “B” cable (USB printer cable) is required.
Features
- Atmel ATMEGA238 Chipset
- 32 KB flash memory of which 2 KB used by bootloader
- 6 Analog input pins
- 14 Digital I/O pins (6 PWM )

Description
Give your Feather a sense of place, with an Ultimate GPS FeatherWing. This FeatherWing plugs right into your Feather board and gives it a precise, sensitive, and low power GPS module for location identification anywhere in the world. As a bonus, the GPS can also keep track of time once it is synced with the satellites.
Works with all Feathers except for those with USB-Serial converters that use the UART pins. Right now that means the Feather 328p, ESP8266 Huzzah Feather and nRF52832 Feather don’t work
The Wing is built around the MTK3333 chipset, a no-nonsense, high-quality GPS+GLONASS module that can track up to 33 satellites on 99 channels, has an excellent high-sensitivity receiver (-165 dB tracking!), and a built-in antenna. It can do up to 10 location updates a second for high speed, high sensitivity logging, or tracking. Power usage is incredibly low, only 30 mA during navigation.
The MTK3333-based module has external antenna functionality. The module has a standard ceramic patch antenna that gives it -165 dB sensitivity, but when you want to have a bigger antenna, you can snap on any 3V active GPS antenna via the uFL connector. The module will automatically detect the active antenna and switch over!
Adafruit also added some extra goodies to make this GPS FeatherWing better than a breakout: a FET-driven ENABLE pin so you can turn off the module using any microcontroller pin for low power use, a CR1220 coin cell holder to keep the RTC running and allow warm starts and a tiny bright red LED. The LED blinks at about 1Hz while it’s searching for satellites and blinks once every 15 seconds when a fix is found to conserve power.
The board ships as a fully assembled FeatherWing with GPS module and a coin cell holder. However, the 12mm coin cell is not included – it isn’t required but if you would like a battery backup, a CR1220 coin battery must be purchased separately.
Features
- Satellites: 33 tracking, 99 searching
- Patch Antenna Size: 15mm x 15mm x 4mm
- Update rate: 1 to 10 Hz
- Position Accuracy: < 3 meters (all GPS technology has about 3m accuracy)
- Velocity Accuracy: 0.1 meters/s
- Warm/cold start: 34 seconds
- Acquisition sensitivity: -145 dBm
- Tracking sensitivity: -165 dBm
- Maximum Velocity: 515m/s
- MTK3333 Operating current: 29mA tracking, 35 mA current draw during navigation
- Output: NMEA 0183, 9600 baud default
- DGPS/WAAS/EGNOS supported
- FCC E911 compliance and AGPS support (Offline mode : EPO valid up to 14 days )
- Up to 210 PRN channels
- Jammer detection and reduction
- Multi-path detection and compensation
- u.FL connector for external active antenna
Package Contents
- 1 x Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing
- 2 x 16 Pin 2.54mm Pitch Header

Description
The Adafruit Metro M0 Express is the first version of the Metro designed for use with CircuitPython (Adafruit’s beginner-oriented version of MicroPython). But, it isn’t limited to this – it can also be programmed using the Arduino IDE as well.
Hardware-wise the Adafruit Metro M0 is based on the ARM Cortex M0+ ATSAMD21G18 and features a 48MHz clock speed, a whopping 256K of FLASH (8x more than the Uno) and 32K of RAM (16x more than the Uno). Onboard there are 25 GPIO pins, 12 of which are analog in, and one that is a true analog out. Hardware SPI, I2C and Serial are all available as well. The board runs with a 3.3V logic (Like the Raspberry Pi). Power can be sourced through the USB jack or the onboard DC barrel jack (7-9VDC).
But wait – there is more! Adafruit has also added an RGB Neopixel so you have something to program directly on board and 2MB of SPI Flash. The Flash storage is used by Circuit Python to store you scripts and libraries – but when using this with Arduino it becomes extra storage space you can use to data log.
Because this board is designed for both Arduino and CircuitPython, it does not ship with the CircuitPython environment installed – but Adafruit has an excellent tutorial to get it installed!
Features
- ATSAMD21G18 @ 48MHz with 3.3V logic/power
- 2 MB SPI Flash chip
- 32.768 KHz crystal for clock generation & RTC
- USB native support

Description
The Adafruit Feather M0 Bluefruit LE is Adafruit’s take on an all in one Arduino compatible microcontroller with built in Bluetooth LE and built in battery charging. Basically, think of this as an Adafruit Feather M0 with a fancy Bluetooth LE module.
Bluetooth Low Energy is a low-power 2.4GHz spectrum wireless protocol. It is particular popular because it’s the only wireless protocol that you can use with iOS without needing special certification, and it’s supported by all modern smart phones. This makes it excellent for use in portable projects that will make use of an iOS or Android phone or tablet. It also is supported in Mac OS X and Windows 8+.
At the Feather M0’s heart is an ATSAMD21G18 ARM Cortex M0 processor, clocked at 48 MHz and at 3.3V logic. This chip has a whopping 256K of FLASH (8x more than the Atmega328 or 32u4) and 32K of RAM (16x as much)! This chip comes with built in USB so it has USB-to-Serial program & debug capability built in with no need for an FTDI-like chip.
To make it easy to use for portable projects, Adafruit has added a connector for a 3.7V Lithium polymer battery and built in battery charging. The battery isn’t necessary for operation, it will run just fine straight from the micro USB connector. But, if you do have a battery, you can take it on the go, then plug in the USB to recharge. The Feather will automatically switch over to USB power when its available. To keep tabs on the battery, Adafruit has also connected one of the analog pins through a voltage divider to the battery input.
Features
- Dimensions: 2.0 x 0.9 x 0.28˝ (51 x 23 x 8mm)
- ATSAMD21G18 @ 48MHz with 3.3V logic/power
- USB native support, comes with USB bootloader and serial port debugging
- 20 GPIO pins
- 10 x analog inputs
- Built in 100mA lipoly charger with charging status indicator LED
- Weight: 5.7 grams
- 3.3V regulator with 500mA peak current output
- Hardware Serial, hardware I2C, hardware SPI support
- 8 x PWM pins
- 1 x analog output
- Pin #13 red LED for general purpose blinking
Package Contents
- 1 x Adafruit Feather M0 Bluefruit LE

The newest version of the SparkFun RedBoard is here! This Arduino compatible microcontroller features a variety of improvements including a new Qwiic connector, improved AP2112 voltage regulator, and a CH340C Serial – USB converter.
Available
Description
The newest version of the SparkFun RedBoard is here! SparkFun has multiple versions of the Arduino-compatible SparkFun RedBoard, but until now, none of them had a Qwiic connector. Qwiic is an easy way to connect up I2C sensors using a single cable – perfect for beginners, wanting to use complex, and sometimes expensive, I2C sensors without the risk of connecting it up wrong.
This version’s improvements aren’t limited to the simple addition of a connector – With the improved AP2112 voltage regulator, this Reboard gains a more robust 3.3V regulator that provides it more power to daisy chain multiple Qwiic boards and sensors, sourcing up to 600mA of current.
A new CH340C Serial – USB converter means the days of installing drivers are gone (when used with newer operating systems). The USB connector has also been changed to the much more common microUSB form factor.
Lastly, they have made sure to add a few solder jumpers to the board. The jumpers for the A4 and A5 pins are tied directly to the I2C bus and can be used to disconnect the logic level converters from the pins while the voltage level jumpers can switch the RedBoard Qwiic from a 3.3V device to a 5V device (no logic level converter needed).
The SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic can be programmed over a USB Micro-B cable using the Arduino IDE: Just plug in the board, select “Arduino UNO” from the board menu and you’re ready to upload code.
RedBoard Qwiic has all of the hardware peripherals you know and love: 20 Digital I/O pins with 6 PWM pins, UART, SPI and external interrupts. They have also broken out the SDA, SCL and IOREF pins that showed up on the UNO R3, so the RedBoard Qwiic will be compatible with future shields. You can power the SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic over USB or through the barrel jack. The on-board power regulator can handle anything from 7 to 15VDC.
Features
- ATmega328 microcontroller with Optiboot (UNO) Bootloader
- AP2112 Voltage Regulator
- Input voltage - 7-15V
- 20 Digital I/O Pins (6 PWM Outputs and 6 Analog Inputs)

Whether it is data visualization using the five on-board addressable LEDs or creating musical works of art using the built-in speaker, you’ve got it covered with the with the SparkFun gator:bit!
The most beneficial feature of the gator:bit is safe access to as many GPIO as possible from the micro:bit. Not only are pins 0, 1, 2, 8, 16, 5 (Button A), and 11 (Button B) broken out, but they are also protected against over voltage and over current/short circuit. Pins 0, 1, and 2 are ADC pins and are also the capacitive touch pins. Pins 8, 16, 5, and 11 are digital pins capable of read and write. Additionally, pins 13 (SPI), 14(SPI), 15(SPI), 19 (I2C), and 20 (I2C) can be used to read and write whatever digital signals you could want.
Each SparkFun gator:bit can be powered from 2.7V – 9V giving you quite a range of powering options. There are two ways of powering your gator:bit, either from the JST battery terminal or the alligator clip pads labeled “VIN”. Any voltage input between 2.7V and 9V will be regulated to 3.3V to power the micro:bit, the speaker, and for use by any of the alligator clip pins.
While this can be a lot to take in, SparkFun doesn’t leave you in the dark to figure it out. They go into much more detail about each pin and other attributes (like supplying voltage out, light, and sound) in the SparkFun gator:bit Guide found below. Make sure to check that out!
Even without any external hardware the gator:bit is still an exploratory development board for micro:bit allowing the easiest access to it for educators, beginners, and pro-makers alike.
Please Note: As of May 2019 we are now carrying the updated “Version 2.0” of this board – these now have a DC barrel jack instead of a JST connector for external power.
Please Note: BBC micro:bit is not included. !

Using a low cost ultrasonic distance sensor with the BBC micro:bit is a little tricky. Most of these sensors require 5V to work correctly (which isn’t available on the micro:bit) and when they are powered with 5V, they return a 5V signal which can damage your micro:bit. The ultrasonic:bit solves both these issues and makes it easy to measure distance with the BBC micro:bit!

The ultrasonic:bit solves both these issues and makes it easy to measure distance with the BBC micro:bit! To ensure the ultrasonic sensor gets the 5V power it needs, a small boost regulator is used to convert the available 3v from the micro:bit to 5v. The digital signal from the sensor is also shifted back down to 3.3V for safe use with the micro:bit.
We have provided clip holes for alligator clips and screw terminals for the connection to your micro:bit. 4 mounting holes are also available, just in case you need to keep it firmly in place.
The board ships fully assembled with an ultrasonic sensor. Simply connect up your wires or alligator clips and that’s it!
To use with MakeCode, simply add the “Sonar” extension and set the pins to match how you have connected it to your micro:bit.
