The Adafruit Feather ecosystem is so wealthy with {hardware} range, we wished to share them, one every day. Right now is the Adafruit HalloWing M0 Specific!
Are you the form of one who doesn’t like taking down the skeletons and spiders till after January? Nicely, we’ve acquired the event board for you. That is electronics at its most spooky! The Adafruit HalloWing is a skull-shaped ATSAMD21 board with a ton of extras inbuilt to make for an lovable wearable, badge, improvement package, or the engine in your subsequent cosplay or prop.
On the entrance is a cute 1.44″ sized 128×128 full coloration TFT. Our default instance code has our spooky eye demo working however you should use it for something you wish to show in superb coloration.
There’s additionally 4 fang-teeth beneath the show, these are analog/capacitive contact inputs with huge alligator-clip holes.
On the reverse is a smorgasbord of digital goodies:
- ATSAMD21G18 @ 48MHz with 3.3V logic/energy – 256KB of FLASH + 32KB of RAM
- 8 MB of SPI Flash for storing photographs, sounds, animations, no matter!
- 3-axis accelerometer (movement sensor)
- Mild sensor, reverse-mount in order that it factors out the entrance
- Mono Class-D speaker driver for 4-8 ohm audio system, as much as 2 Watts, with mini quantity pot
- LiPoly battery port with inbuilt recharging functionality
- USB port for battery charging, programming and debugging
- Two feminine header strips with Feather-compatible pinout so you’ll be able to plug in any FeatherWings
- JST ports for Neopixels, sensor enter, and I2C (you’ll be able to match I2C Grove connectors in right here)
- 3.3V regulator with 500mA peak present output
- Reset button
- On-Off swap
OK so technically it’s extra like a very tricked-out Feather M0 Specific than a Wing however we merely couldn’t resist the Hallowing pun.
Proper now you should use the Hallowing equally Feather M0 Specific, it’s acquired the identical chip though the pins have been rearranged. We’ve acquired each Arduino and CircuitPython construct help for it so you’ll be able to choose your favourite improvement language! The additional 8 MB of SPI Flash is nice for sound results tasks the place you wish to play as much as 3 minutes of WAV recordsdata.
On either side of the HalloWing are JST-PH plugs for connecting exterior gadgets. The three-pin JSTs hook up with analog pins on the SAMD21, so you should use them for analog inputs. We label one for Neopixel and one for Sensors since we predict most individuals can have one in all every. The 4-pin JST connector connects to the I2C port and you’ll match Grove connectors in it for extra {hardware} help.
