This is by far the cutest, creepiest and most incredible development board we’ve made so far! Gaze upon these features:
– ATSAMD51G19 Cortex M4 microcontroller running at 120MHz with 512KB Flash, 192KB RAM
– 8 MB QSPI flash for storing graphics and sound effects
– Two 240×240 IPS TFT displays each on their own SPI bus
– Beautiful silkscreen with a boop-able nose that is a capacitive touch pad
– LiPoly battery charge circuit for portable use
– Stereo headphone jack out, for sound effects via an amplifier
– Mono speaker driver for smaller 8 ohm 1W speakers
– One 4 pin STEMMA JST connector for I2C connection (also Grove compatible)
– Two 3 pin STEMMA JST connectors with digital/analog/PWM for servos, sensors, etc
– One 4 pin JST SH port for connecting an optional PDM microphone
– Backlight controls
– Three tactile buttons
– Light sensor
– On/Off Switch and reset button

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.
