| 17 | +Peep dis! Have you always wanted to have another pair of eyes on the back of your |
| 18 | +head? Or outfit your costume with big beautiful orbs? The MONSTER M4SK is like the |
| 19 | +Hallowing but twice as good, with two gorgeous 240x240 pixel IPS TFT displays, driven |
| 20 | +by a 120MHZ Cortex M4 processor that can pump out those pixels super fast. You'll get |
| 21 | +the same quality display as our Raspberry Pi Eyes kit but without needing to tote |
| 22 | +around a full Linux computer |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +This unique design has the eyes at the same pupil-distance as a human (~63mm) but is |
| 25 | +designed so that the nose section can be broken apart with pliers/cutters and then |
| 26 | +wired together with a 9-pin JST SH cable up to 100mm long so the eyes can be |
| 27 | +re-positioned or freely attached. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +We wanted to make audio-effects easier so in addition to a class D audio amp, there's |
| 30 | +also a stereo headphone jack that is connected to the two DACs on the chip. Use it |
| 31 | +when you want an externally sound amplifier box for big effects. For small portable |
| 32 | +effects, the built-in amp can drive 8 ohm speakers up to 1 Watt. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +On each side are JST-PH plugs for connecting external devices. The 3-pin JSTs connect |
| 35 | +to analog/timer pins on the SAMD51, so you can use them for sensors or GPIO |
| 36 | +devices. The 4-pin JST connector connects to the I2C port and you can fit Grove |
| 37 | +connectors in it for additional hardware support. For the PDM mic port, you can use |
| 38 | +this cable to wire to a PDM mic. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +There's also plenty of sensors built in - light sensor, 3 tactile buttons, and a |
| 41 | +capacitive touch pad on the nose. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Speaking of that nose, the silkscreen is by the skillful Miss Monster, check out those fangs! |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +This is by far the cutest, creepiest and most incredible development board we've made so far! |
| 46 | +Gaze upon these features: |
