A through hole component SAMD11 Feather #Feather @josecastillo
Joey Castillo posts on Twitter details of his first Feather form factor board, utilizing a SAMD11 processor and mostly through-hole components:
Holy crap, this board! I’d forgotten all about it, but today it surfaced while I was looking for something else. This is the first Feather I ever designed: a simple SAMD11 board with mostly thru-hole components, because as of last summer (2019), I was still afraid of surface mount parts.
Your current designs (like OpenBook) are a testament to your skill building Joey, congrats!
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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
