What is adafruit feather M0?
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 new Arduino Zero. This chip has a whopping 256K of FLASH (8x more than the Atmega328 or 32u4) and 32K of RAM (16x as much)!
How do I uninstall adafruit drivers?
Go to Settings -> Apps and uninstall all the “Adafruit” driver programs.
How do I check CircuitPython version?
If you have trouble getting to the >>> prompt, try pressing Ctrl + C a few more times. The first thing you get from the REPL is information about your board. This line tells you the version of CircuitPython you’re using and when it was released.
What is trinket M0?
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. The Trinket M0 has swapped out the lightweight ATtiny85 for a ATSAMD21E18 powerhouse.
What is the difference between MicroPython and CircuitPython?
In MicroPython, Python is largely unchanged other than the added functionality to interface with hardware. CircuitPython is a derivative of MicroPython that changes a few things to make the language easier to learn and use. CircuitPython is created and maintained by Adafruit.
What is Circuitpy drive?
The CIRCUITPY drive is where your code and the necessary libraries and files will live. You can edit your code directly on this drive and when you save, it will run automatically. When you create and edit code, you’ll save your code in a code.py file located on the CIRCUITPY drive.
What does trinket mean?
1 : a small ornament (such as a jewel or ring) 2 : a small article of equipment. 3 : a thing of little value : trifle.
Is there a compile error for the feather M0?
Error compiling for board Adafruit Feather M0. Last edited by danhalbert on Mon Jan 22, 2018 6:47 pm, edited 1 time in total. Did you install both the Arduino and Adafruit SAMD M0 board support packages? You need both. We have seen Arduino become confused and need to be reinstalled.
Is the feather M0 compatible with Arduino IDE?
The Feather/Metro/Gemma/QTPy/Trinket M0 and M4 use an ATSAMD21 or ATSAMD51 chip, and you can pretty easily get it working with the Arduino IDE. Most libraries (including the popular ones like NeoPixels and display) will work with the M0 and M4, especially devices & sensors that use I2C or SPI.
Is there a difference between Adafruit M0 and SparkFun?
The Adafruit M0 board works fine but the Sparkfun board does not. Both boards are fine when using USB serial for data. The problem is just with the Sparkfun bootloader. I have ordered another Sparkfun M0 board just so I can double check that it is not a board fault.
What kind of bootloader do I use for feather M0?
Some of our Feather M0 boards use the conventional SAM-BA bootloader, but we use the UF2 bootloader for the Express boards and Trinket and Gemma M0 so we can load CircuitPython easily. On those boards on Windows you will see three different COM ports used, one for UF2, one for a native Arduino program, and one for CircuitPython.
