New Kea microcontroller features STM32F4 and ESP32 in Feather format #Feather @IngenuityMicro
Ingenuity Micro has released the Kea development board. Sporting an Adafruit Feather form factor, it features a STM32F411 processor and an ESP32 coprocessor with WiFi.
The Kea Feather is the perfect board for the rapid creation of highly capable IoT projects with built in WiFi and BLE connectivity.
Kea is based on the Adafruit Feather pinout for compatibility with a huge selection of ‘wing’ boards for adding sensors and subsystems.
The powerful STM32F411 micro on Kea supports programming it with .Net MicroFramework, GHI TinyCLR, nanoMF and MicroPython, as well as native programming.
This would be a great candidate board for CircuitPython too – there are dozens of drivers in CircuitPython for Feather-compatible add-ons!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
