It's the same chip as the Arduino Zero and packs much of the same capability as an \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-metro-m0-express-designed-for-circuitpython-atsamd21g18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAdafruit Metro M0 Express\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-feather-m0-express-designed-for-circuitpython-atsamd21-cortex-m0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eFeather M0 Express\u003c\/a\u003e but \u003cem\u003ereally really small\u003c\/em\u003e. So it's great once you've finished up a prototype on a Metro M0 or Feather M0, and want to make the project much smaller. It even comes with 2MB of SPI Flash built in, for data logging, file storage, or CircuitPython code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most exciting part of the ItsyBitsy M0 is that while you can use it with the Arduino IDE, Adafruit are shipping it with CircuitPython on board. When you plug it in, it will show up as a very small disk drive with main.py on it. Edit main.py with your favorite text editor to build your project using Python, the most popular programming language. No installs, IDE or compiler needed, so you can use it on any computer, even ChromeBooks or computers you can't install software on. When you're done, unplug the Itsy' and your code will go with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are some of the updates you can look forward to when using ItsyBitsy M0:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eATSAMD21G18 32-bit Cortex M0+\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003e256KB Flash\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e32 KB RAM\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.3V logic\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e48 MHz\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e32 bit\u003c\/strong\u003e processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 MB SPI FLASH chip\u003c\/strong\u003e for storing files and CircuitPython code storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative USB supported by every OS - can be used in Arduino or CircuitPython as USB serial console, Keyboard\/Mouse HID, even a little disk drive for storing Python scripts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used with Arduino IDE or CircuitPython\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in red pin #13 LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in RGB DotStar LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTons of GPIO! 23 x GPIO pins with following capabilities:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x True analog output pin - can be used to play 10-bit quality audio clips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 x PWM outputs - for servos, LEDs, etc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 x 12-bit analog inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 x Hardware capacitive touch sensors with no additional components required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Special \u003cstrong\u003eVhigh\u003c\/strong\u003e output pin gives you the higher voltage from VBAT or VUSB, for driving NeoPixels, servos, and other high-current devices. \u003cstrong\u003eDigital 5\u003c\/strong\u003e level-shifted output for high-voltage logic level output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan drive NeoPixels or DotStars on any pins, with enough memory to drive 8000+ pixels. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/dma-driven-neopixels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDMA-NeoPixel support on the VHigh pin \u003c\/a\u003eso you can drive pixels without having to spend any processor time on it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative hardware SPI, I2C and Serial all available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReset button and pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower with either USB or external output (such as a battery) - it'll automatically switch over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach order comes with one assembled and tested ItsyBitsy M0, with header that can be soldered in for use with a breadboard.
