**Circuit Playground Bluefruit** is our third board in the Circuit Playground series,
16+
another step towards a perfect introduction to electronics and programming. We've
17+
taken the popular Circuit Playground Express and made it even better! Now the main
18+
chip is an nRF52840 microcontroller which is not only more powerful, but also comes
19+
with Bluetooth Low Energy support for wireless connectivity.
20+
21+
This product is ALPHA hardware at this time, for use by folks who are going to be
22+
developing software to support it - it's not quite ready for student/beginner use!
23+
24+
The board is round and has alligator-clip pads around it so you don't have to solder
25+
or sew to make it work. You can power it from USB, a AAA battery pack, or with a
26+
Lipoly battery (for advanced users). Circuit Playground Bluefruit has built-in USB
27+
support. Built in USB means you plug it in to program it and it just shows up, no
28+
special cable or adapter required. Just program your code into the board then take it
29+
on the go!
30+
31+
**Features:**
32+
33+
* 1 x nRF52840 Cortex M4 processor with Bluetooth Low Energy support
34+
* 10 x mini NeoPixels, each one can display any color
35+
* 1 x Motion sensor (LIS3DH triple-axis accelerometer with tap detection, free-fall detection)
36+
* 1 x Temperature sensor (thermistor)
37+
* 1 x Light sensor (phototransistor). Can also act as a color sensor and pulse sensor.
38+
* 1 x Sound sensor (MEMS microphone)
39+
* 1 x Mini speaker with class D amplifier (7.5mm magnetic speaker/buzzer)
40+
* 2 x Push buttons, labeled A and B
41+
* 1 x Slide switch
42+
* 8 x alligator-clip friendly input/output pins
43+
* Includes I2C, UART, 6 pins that can do analog inputs, multiple PWM outputs
44+
* Green "ON" LED so you know its powered
45+
* Red "#13" LED for basic blinking
46+
* Reset button
47+
* 2 MB of SPI Flash storage, used primarily with CircuitPython to store code and libraries.
48+
* MicroUSB port for programming and debugging
49+
* USB port can act like serial port, keyboard, mouse, joystick or MIDI!

**This is Adafruit's first BLE-friendly CircuitPython board**! CircuitPython works best with disk drive access, and this is the only BLE-plus-USB-native chip that has the memory to handle running the Python interpreter. The massive RAM and speedy Cortex M4F chip makes this a good match.

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:
47+
48+
* ATSAMD51G19 Cortex M4 microcontroller running at 120MHz with 512KB Flash, 192KB RAM
49+
* 8 MB QSPI flash for storing graphics and sound effects
50+
* Two 240x240 IPS TFT displays each on their own SPI bus
51+
* Beautiful silkscreen with a boop-able nose that is a capacitive touch pad
52+
* Lipoly battery charge circuit for portable use
53+
* Stereo headphone jack out, for sound effects via an amplifier
54+
* Mono speaker driver for smaller 8 ohm 1W speakers
55+
* One 4 pin STEMMA JST connector for I2C connection (also Grove compatible)
56+
* Two 3 pin STEMMA JST connectors with digital/analog/PWM for servos, sensors, etc

**PyPortal Titano**, is a bigger version of Adafruit's easy-to-use PyPortal IoT device that allows you to create all the things for the “Internet of Things” in minutes. Make custom touch screen interface GUIs, all open-source, and Python-powered using tinyJSON / APIs to get news, stock, weather, cat photos, and more – all over Wi-Fi with the latest technologies. Create little pocket universes of joy that connect to something good. Rotate it 90 degrees, it’s a web-connected conference badge #badgelife.

The PyPortal Titano uses an ATMEL (Microchip) ATSAMD51J20, and an Espressif ESP32 Wi-Fi coprocessor with TLS/SSL support built-in. PyPortal Titano has a **larger [shh, top secret] color TFT** with resistive touch screen. PyPortal includes: speaker, light sensor, temperature sensor, NeoPixel, microSD card slot, 8MB flash, plug-in ports for I2C and 2 analog/digital pins, 3D files for custom enclosures / lanyard fastening. Open-source hardware, and Open-Source software, and CircuitPython. The device shows up as a USB drive and the code (Python) can be edited in any IDE, text editor, etc.
20+
21+
The M4 and ESP32 are a great couple - and each bring their own strengths to this board. The SAMD51 M4 has native USB so it can show up like a disk drive, act as a MIDI or HID keyboard/mouse, and of course bootload and debug over a serial port. It also has DACs, ADC, PWM, and tons of GPIO. Meanwhile, the ESP32 has secure WiFi capabilities, and plenty of Flash and RAM to buffer sockets. By letting the ESP32 focus on the complex TLS/SSL computation and socket buffering, it frees up the SAMD51 to act as the user interface. You get a great programming experience thanks to the native USB with files available for drag-n-drop, and you don't have to spend a ton of processor time and memory to do SSL encryption/decryption and certificate management. It's the best of both worlds!

The Robo HAT MM1 removes the need for buying lots of individual components by including them on the board. It can act as a PWM driver, provide on-board power through voltage regulators, and measure movement with the on-board IMU - all at the same time.

The M4 version of the board opens up many more capabilities with extra RAM, more processing power and additional serial communication interfaces. For CircuitPython this means you can run more NeoPixels, use more sensors and deploy code faster without having to worry about RAM limitations.

The wide compatibility with many open source software platforms such as CircuitPython means you can use all existing software for sensors while creating your project in the way that works best for you. The hardware schematics and software are fully open source.
