Development Boards / AVR Development

Programming AVR? Always Googling the pinout? Well, now no longer! It's rare to find a mini kit so elegant, it deserves its own Haiku. A simple breakout, 2x3 box header in the center, two 1x3's on the side. Plugs into any breadboard for neat wiring (in both nifty and clean senses of the word). Comes with a quality mini PCB, a 2x3 box header and a small stick of 0.1"...

Deprecation Warning: The Trinket bit-bang USB technique it uses doesn't work as well as it did in 2014, many modern computers won't work well. So while we still carry the Trinket so that people can maintain some older projects, we no longer recommend it. Please check out the Trinket M0. It has built-in USB, more capabilities, and is comparable in price! Trinket may...

The Adafruit Trinket M0 may be small, but do not be fooled by its size! It's a tiny microcontroller board, built around the Atmel ATSAMD21, a little chip with a lot of power. We wanted to design a microcontroller board that was small enough to fit into any project, and low cost enough to use without hesitation. Perfect for when you don't want to give up your...

What's smaller than a Feather but larger than a Trinket? It's an ItsyBitsy! Small, powerful, Arduino-compatible - this microcontroller board is perfect when you want something very compact, but still with a bunch of pins. ItsyBitsy is only 1.4" long by 0.7" wide, but has 6 power pins, 6 analog & digital pins and 17 digital pins. It packs much of the same...

One of our star development boards is the Adafruit METRO Mini 328, an excellent lil fellow that lets you make your Arduino-based project tiny. Recently we had to redesign this board to move from the obsolete CP2104 to the available CP2102N, and one thing led to another, and before you know it we made a completely refreshed design: the Adafruit METRO Mini 328 V2. The...

This is the Adafruit METRO Arduino-Compatible - with headers. It's a fully assembled and tested microcontroller and physical computing board with through-hole headers attached.
