The Ant + Micropython = ARCOBALENO @micropython (Made with the Ant CNC machine)
Over on the MicroPython forums, the Ant Team posted about their board they made with their milling machine, the Arcobaleno (video) –
“We are The Ant Team and we designed a MicroPython compatible board to check the capabilities of our PCB milling machine, The Ant. Likely, we will use our board and MicroPython for future projects, we enjoy using it 🙂 The board is open and shared with the “CC Attribution 3.0 Unported License”. This is an image of the Arcobaleno prototype board milled, soldered and tested with MicroPython. In this video and in its description there are all the info about it. And in the Arcobaleno repository you will find all the project files. Thanks to Damien George for creating MicroPython and to all the community that develops and supports it. Tell us what you think about it.”

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.
