The standard Serpente board contains a female USB Type-C connector, the Serpente Plug C contains a male USB Type-C connector, and the Serpente Plug uses the board itself as a Type-A USB plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are familiar with the Digispark boards, you may notice some similarities. This fact is of course not incidental, the Serpente boards are inspired by the Digispark, both in form-factor as well as use-cases. The Serpente boards are meant to be used as quick and dirty, yet flexible, prototyping tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATSAMD21E18A 32-bit Cortex-M0+ running at 48MHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e256KB flash and 32KB RAM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4MB Flash for storing files and CircuitPython code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 highly customizable GPIOs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e250mA LDO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.3V logic and power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowered either from USB or external source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser-controlled RGB LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting holes on the Serpente female Type-C board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastellated edges so the boards can be used as modules easily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGuided Tour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB A, male or female USB Type-C Connector\u003c\/strong\u003e - Three options to choose from, use the one that works best for you!
