Circuit Playground Classic [PID:3000] - (AD13612)

Description:

Would you like to learn electronics, with an 'all-in-one' board that has built-in sensors and LEDs? Circuit Playground is here - and it's the best way to practice programming on real hardware with no soldering or sewing required!

Circuit Playground features an ATmega32u4 processor, just like our popular Flora. The board is also round and has alligator clip pads all around it, so you don't have to solder or sew to make it work. You can power it from USB, an AAA battery pack, or with a Lipo battery (for advanced users). Just program your code into the board and you're good to go!

- ATmega32u4 processor, running at 3.3 V and 8 MHz

- MicroUSB port for programming and debugging with Arduino IDE

- USB port can act as a serial port, keyboard, mouse, joystick, or MIDI

Circuit Playground has built-in USB support. USB means it plugs and programs. All you really need is a Micro-B USB data cable (not included)! With the new Arduino IDE 1.6.4+, it only takes a few seconds to add support. The Circuit Playground has HID USB support, so you can connect a mouse and keyboard directly to the computer.

Here are some of the great features:

- 10 x mini NeoPixels, each can display any color

- 1x motion sensor (LIS3DH three-axis accelerometer with tap detection, free-fall detection)

- 1x temperature sensor (thermistor)

- 1 x light sensor (phototransistor)

- 1 x sound sensor (MEMS microphone)

- 1 x mini speaker (magnetic buzzer)

- 2 x push buttons, left and right

- 1x slide switch

- 8x alligator clip-friendly input/output pins

- Includes I2C, UART, and 4 pins that can be made analog inputs / PWM output

- All 8 pads can act as capacitive touch inputs

- Green "ON" LED to let you know it's powered

- Red "#13" LED for basic blinking

- Reset button

We've started with a developer edition Circuit Playground. This version is designed for people who have some experience with Arduino, as they want to help build and document projects. There may be minor hardware or software bugs. Once we feel the design is very solid, we will revise and re-release it in a universal edition for anyone to use!
