The Blues Wireless Swan – a Feather Board based on the STM32L4R5 #Feather #CircuitPython @blueswireless
Blues Wireless introduces the most extensible Feather-compatible MCU on the market: the Swan !
Based on the powerful STM32L4R5 microcontroller from STMicroelectronics, the Swan operates at up to 120Mhz and provides developers access to 640KB of RAM, 2MB of flash, and 55 general purpose I/O ports including:
8 Analog
16 Digital
1 SPI
1 Quad SPI
2 I2C
4 UART
1 USB
When operating in its low-power mode, the Swan board draws only about 8uA while retaining all of its memory, making it suitable for battery-powered devices. Swan also includes a CORTEX Debug connector enabling use of advanced development environments such as Visual Studio Code, IAR, and STM32CubeIDE.
Swan features support for C/C++, Arduino, and CircuitPython, and supports step-debugging in VSCode, IAR, and STM32CubeIDE with an optional STLINK-V3MINI .
Uniquely for Feather-compatible boards, the Swan satisfies developer needs from early prototyping through high-volume deployments. Developers can use Swan in conjunction with Adafruit’s myriad sensors and FeatherWing-compatible carriers. Or, due to its novel design consisting of a set of castellated edges around the board, the low-cost Swan can also be soldered directly to a parent PCB in order to utilize the full range of Swan’s I/O capabilities.

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.
