Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA3403:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description We love all our Feathers equally, but this Feather is very special. It's our first Feather that is *specifically* designed for use with CircuitPython! CircuitPython is our beginner-oriented flavour of MicroPython - and as the name hints at, its a small but full-featured version of the popular Python programming language specifically for use with circuitry and electronics. Please note, CircuitPython does not come preloaded. See the full guide linked below for instructions on installing it. That doesn't mean you cant *also* use it with Arduino IDE! At the Feather M0's heart is an ATSAMD21G18 ARM Cortex M0+ processor, clocked at 48 MHz and at 3.3V logic, the same one used in the Arduino Zero. This chip has a whopping 256K of FLASH (8x more than the Atmega328 or 32u4) and 32K of RAM (16x as much)! This chip comes with built-in USB so it has USB-to-Serial program & debug capability built in with no need for an FTDI-like chip. Here are some handy specs! - Measures 2.0" x 0.9" x 0.28" (51mm x 23mm x 8mm) without headers soldered in - Light as a (large?) feather - 5 grams - ATSAMD21G18 @ 48MHz with 3.3V logic/power - 256KB of FLASH + 32KB of RAM - No EEPROM - 32.768 KHz crystal for clock generation & RTC - 3.3V regulator with 500mA peak current output - USB native support comes with USB bootloader and serial port debugging - You also get tons of pins - 20 GPIO pins - Hardware Serial, hardware I2C, hardware SPI support - PWM outputs on all pins - 6 x 12-bit analog inputs - 1 x 10-bit analog output (DAC) - Built-in 100mA lipoly charger with charging status indicator LED - Pin #13 red LED for general purpose blinking - Power/enable pin - 4 mounting holes - Reset button The Feather M0 Express uses the extra space left over to add a Mini NeoPixel, 2 MB SPI Flash storage and a little prototyping space. You can use the SPI Flash storage like a very tiny hard drive. When used in CircuitPython, the 2 MB flash acts as storage for all your scripts, libraries and files. When used in Arduino, you can read/write files to it, like a little data logger or SD card, and then with our helper program, access the files over USB. Easy reprogramming: the Feather M0 comes pre-loaded with the [UF2 bootloader](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather-m0-express-designed-for-circuit-python-circuitpython/uf2-bootloader), which looks like a USB storage key. Simply drag firmware on to the program, no special tools or drivers needed! It can be used to load up CircuitPython, PXT MakeCode or Arduino IDE (it is bossa-compatible) Comes fully assembled and tested, with the UF2 USB bootloader. We also toss in some header so you can solder it in and plug into a solderless breadboard. Lipoly battery and USB cable not included (but we do have lots of options in the shop if you'd like!)
