Overview

Wouldn't it be great if, instead of collecting shields, HATs, PMODs, Clicks, Booster Packs,
Props... you could have a cross-compatible platform? Something that doesn't force you into one
chipset? and allows you to mix-and-match the microcontroller, wireless protocol, and functional
extensions?

Yeah, me too! That's why I created Feather. Feather is a flexible and powerful family of
microcontroller main-boards (Feathers) and daughter-boards (Wings) with a wide range of
capabilities.

Feathers!
Since we aren't tied to one chip manufacturer, we feature the best-of-the-market chipsets,
including:

Atmel ATmega32u4 - 8 bit AVR

Atmel ATSAMD21 - 32 bit ARM Cortex M0+
Broadcom/Cypress WICED - STM32 with WiFi
Espressif ESP8266 and ESP32 - Tensilica with WiFi/BT
Freescale MK20 - ARM Cortex M4, as the Teensy 3.2 Feather Adapter
Nordic nRF51 and nRF52 - ARM Cortex & Bluetooth LE
Packet radio modules featuring SemTech SX1231
LoRa radio modules featuring SemTech SX127x

and many more to come!

Wings!

Once you've picked your main dish (the Feather mainboard) you can pick and choose from a
wide wide variety of Wings. Wings are like little "shields" or "HATs" for Feathers. You can (in
theory) add as many Wings as you like to a single Feather main-board, as long as you don't run
out of power, space or have pin collisions.

Best of all, we've tested all of our Wings against all of our Feathers. So, other than a few
exceptions (mostly the GPS Featherwing), you can re-use, re-cycle, and upgrade your Feathers
and Wings between projects and as need arises.

For example, start out with a Feather 32u4, then decide to upgrade to the Feather M0 for more
Flash - the pin out is the same! Or, make an IoT project with the ESP8266 and then super-
power it with an ESP32 just by swapping out the main Feather. Maybe build a project with a
Feather M0 Bluefruit, then realize you need more range so you switch to a Feather M0 LoRa.

The Feathers and Wings all have example code written in Arduino C/C++ so as your projects
adapt, all your wings and code will come along with you.

Feather History

For the last decade or so I've been making projects with Arduinos and compatibles. And, an
Arduino is a great way to start a project, but after many years I started seeing the same 'issues'
crop up:

Arduinos are big - sure they're smaller than a computer but they're still chunky enough to
make them not-so-wearable or hand-held
To do stuff, you can add shields, but stacking shields get really tall to get any significant
technology stacked on
There's no wireless technology built in: now that WiFi, BTLE and cellular is ubiquitous, just
about any project can take advantage of a wireless connection!
Making an Arduino portable is hard - you need a 7-12VDC power supply, not a common
rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery, and no built-in recharging

Some possibilities
There are a few boards that tried to address these issues, but none of them really seemed to
'scratch that itch'

Multi-stack compatibles like Tinyduino (http://adafru.it/weI) are small, and extensible, but
you have to stack 4 boards just to get the 'basics' going
Small Arduino-compatibles like the Pro Mini (http://adafru.it/weJ) are inexpensive and
small, but don't have USB built in so you need a separate cable to program them
The Fio (http://adafru.it/weK) has wireless add-on ability, and battery charging, but a non-
standard pinout and requires expensive XBee modules.
Click boards are close (http://adafru.it/weL) but don't have an Arduino compatible
baseboard.

Beginning of a Feather
It was about when KTOWN had finished designing the SPI Bluefruit Friend when we
kept (http://adafru.it/weM) seeing (http://adafru.it/weN) crowdfunding
(http://adafru.it/weO)campaigns that had an Arduino-compatible chip and a Bluetooth LE
interface. We thought "it would be really cool and useful to have something that was breadboard
friendly, with an Atmega32u4 so it has built in USB, and a Bluefruit module. We've already got
the library code, it'll be an all-in-one!"

So we designed the Bluefruit Micro (http://adafru.it/fQH)

We designed it so you could use our little LiPoly backpack, soldered on top, to add LiPo power
and recharging:

© Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather Page 10 of 88

The Bluefruit Micro was incredibly popular. So much so that I realized we should probably do
something better. So I shrank the chip from a QFP to a QFN and stuck the battery connector off
the side:

© Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather Page 11 of 88

as you can see, not much in the design really changed, just some parts got squished down and
pushed to the right to make room for the LiPoly charge and connector.

I settled on a pinout configuration that exposed all the power pins, analog inputs, GPIO, I2C,
SPI and UART. Once that was done I tried making a few different 'flavors' such as with a micro
SD card holder to make a datalogger:

Adafruit Feather 32u4 Basic Proto

PRODUCT ID: 2771

An M0 Challenger Appears!
A new chip in the market at the time was the ATSAMD21, used in the Arduino Zero. This chip is
about the same price as the ATmega32u4 but has 8x as much FLASH, 8x as much RAM, is a
full 32 bit ARM Cortex M0+, runs 6 times faster and has a bazillion more peripherals including a
DAC! Feather turned out to be a great way to make a board using this nice new chip. So I
designed versions of Adalogger, Basic and Bluefruit to match!

Wing Friendz
Things were looking pretty good, I had a favorable view of the size, pinouts, and capabilities. So
I started thinking about 'add ons' - little shields that could add capability. For example, I knew I'd
need something to add GPS capability. So I designed a board that connected to the UART pins
and would fit in the same shape as the feather. That managed to fit, and even had room for a
battery backup:

By this time I had maybe a dozen or so Feathers and Wings. So far I'd only been using the
ATmega32u4 and ATSAMD21. These chipsets are powerful and have plenty of capability. But
to make the ecosystem really work I needed to make the most 'difficult' and 'minimal' Feather, to
verify all my Wing designs would still work

ESP8266 Feather
Once I had a prototype of this design I sort of realized that the basic idea could be extended to
other modules, not just the nRF51 Bluefruit module. For example, at the time, the ESP8266 was
gaining in popularity, and there was a module that had the chip, flash memory and antenna. We
already had a breakout board but it didn't have a USB interface, or battery charger. Adding a
USB to serial converter and a lipoly charger would make the board a little bigger, and with some
arrangement, I fit everything in the same 0.9" by 2.0"

© Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather Page 16 of 88

Since the ESP8266 was so constrained: only one 1.0V ADC, few pins, odd pullups and
pulldowns, it was a perfect test bed for all the Wings I could create. I started cross-testing all the
Wings with this chip. If I could get them working with this Feather and the 32u4 and the
SAMD21 that covered 3 different architectures (Tensilica, 8-bit AVR, 32-bit ARM) for good
functional coverage.

From then on, it was easy going. I just designed a Feather or Wing every single week for a full
year. I always knew what I'd work on next because it was just a Feather or accessory. Each
new Wing or Feather gets tested against all the other accessories to make sure they all work.
It's a little tedious but that's the great thing about Feather, is the full cross-compatibility. Now,
every time a new chip comes out, I don't have to "start all over from scratch". For example,
designing the ESP32 Feather was a little constraining to make it all fit but once it fit, I knew that I
didn't have to make an OLED add-on, terminal block add-on, LED matrix add-on, etc.

As of this writing, May 2017, there are 52 Wings and 26 main boards. Other companies and
customers are also designing their own compatibles.

I fully expect to have 100 Wings and 50 main boards in the next year or two - Feather has been
a great success!

CircuitPython
All of our Feathers support Arduino and C/C++ using a gcc toolchain. But not everyone wants to
write C/C++ code. Thanks to the bigger and faster chips available, it is now possible to run a full
python interpreter directly in the microcontroller itself!

*mind blown*

The original version of this embedded Python is called MicroPython, written a feat of magic by
Damien George (http://adafru.it/pF5). Please help support him by purchasing from his
shop (http://adafru.it/wf9)! We also stock MicroPython boards, books and badges in the Adafruit
shop (http://adafru.it/wfa) all of which directly help Damien's efforts.

CircuitPython is a variant of MicroPython which is designed specifically for beginners, and use
the chipsets on Adafruit boards, like the SAMD21. They are 98% the same and use the same
interpreter core, just some of the helper libraries vary in naming.

The Feather M0 Express is the first in a line of products specifically designed for CircuitPython.
The SAMD21 microcontroller is inexpensive while still being full featured with native USB, multi
serial (I2C and SPI) engines called SERCOMs and a 10 bit DAC. Its 256k on board flash is
supplemented with an external flash chip that gives a huge two megabytes for your code and all
of our CircuitPython libraries (http://adafru.it/uap). The status NeoPixel gives you information on
the state of CircuitPython even when its unplugged from a computer. Its perfect for rapid
prototyping of sensor driven projects.

Available in CircuitPython (http://adafru.it/tBa) as feather_m0_express.

Pros

UF2 bootloader for easy drag and drop flashing

2MB SPI Flash for storing all your code, libraries and data files
Status NeoPixel for debugging in a pinch
Built-in USB support enabling CIRCUITPY drive, USB HID (mouse and keyboard) and
easy serial

Cons

No built in radio
Not compatible with MicroPython, only CircuitPython
CircuitPython interpreter uses half the 32KiB RAM — only 16KiB for the user

CircuitPython-Compatible Feathers
These Feathers weren't designed for CircuitPython, but they work just fine!

The Huzzah does not have native USB so you don't get the nice "USB drive with source code
on it". The non-Express M0's don't have a 2MB SPI Flash so the USB drive you get is quite
small, and gets wiped if you update the firmware.

So if you really want to have an easy CircuitPython experience, we suggest the M0

Express, above!

Adafruit Feather HUZZAH with ESP8266 WiFi

PRODUCT ID: 2821

The Feather HUZZAH was the first Adafruit board to gain official
MicroPython (http://adafru.it/f9W) support under the second kickstarter (http://adafru.it/wfc). Its
also supported by CircuitPython that enables the standard hardware APIs that all of our drivers
are built upon.

Its 80mhz processor and 96 KiB of RAM provides plenty of zip for digital sensor reading and
basic networking including a Python interface over Wifi called the WebREPL.

However, its peripherals aren't as nice as the SAMD21. The lack of built in USB means you'll
need to share the serial connection between the program output and uploading new code via a
toll like AMPY. The analog peripherals are limited to a one channel ADC and no DAC.

Adafruit Feather M0 Adalogger

PRODUCT ID: 2796

Prior to CircuitPython, the SAMD21 M0 microcontroller wasn't supported by MicroPython.

However, it was supported by Arduino and that lead to a wide variety of M0 based feathers.
Now, all of these can run CircuitPython but are more limited in the functionality available. They
run the same speed as the Feather M0 Express but are missing the extra space for code on the
SPI flash which also means that there is less room internally for functionality in the
CircuitPython core.

So, if you already have one and want to try CircuitPython, then you can! They can do smaller
code tasks just fine. Just beware that it won't be quite as easy as the Feather M0 Express.

Also note that the extra functionality on these boards, such as the SD card, radios and
Bluetooth modules, is not yet supported in CircuitPython. Some of them will require additional
core CircuitPython work while others will only require a new library or two.

Available in CircuitPython (http://adafru.it/tBa) under boards feather_m0_adalogger and

feather_m0_basic for all others.

Pros

Additional functionality on-board

Built in USB support for CircuitPython drive
If you already have one, you can try CircuitPython

Feathers

Feathers are the main/mother boards of the Feather platform.

You always need one Feather and can add zero or more FeatherWings to increase the
capabilites.

For example:

Feather Huzzah ESP8266 + Music Maker FeatherWing = MP3 streaming player

Feather 32u4 Bluefruit + NeoPixel FeatherWing = Bluetooth LE controllable RGB lamp
Feather 32u4 FONA + GPS FeatherWing = Cellular GPS locator with SMS control
Feather nRF52 Bluefruit + Motor FeatherWing + Robot Chassis = Phone-controlled robot
rover
etc!

All Feathers...
All Feathers have a microcontroller that can be programmed by Arduino IDE
All Feathers are 3.3V logic
All Feathers come with a MicroUSB connector that is used for data and power
All Feathers have a bootloader, and do not require a separate programmer device
All Feathers have USB Serial for debug (sometimes it is part of a native USB interface,
sometimes via a USB-serial adapter chip)
All Feathers are 0.9" wide, and fit in a breadboard with 1 row available on one side, and
two rows on opposite side.
Almost all are 2.0" long (M0 ATWINC Feathers and FONA Feathers are the exceptions)
All Feathers have the same two mounting holes near the USB port
All Feathers have Power, I2C, SPI, UART pins in the same location. Remaining pins try to
be as similar as possible (but they may have different pin names/numbers)
All Feathers can run from USB or LiPo battery, and have a LiPo charger built-in

Most Feathers...
Most of the Feathers have a wireless module built in
Most of the Feathers have an Enable pin that will allow shutdown via logic level (Teensy
and FONA Feathers are the exceptions)
Most of the Feathers have a native USB connection (nRF52 and ESP8266 are the
exceptions)

No Feathers
No feathers are guaranteed to be 5V-input compliant. Use 3.3V logic only please!

Basic Feathers
Basic feathers are..basic. But they're not to be ignored! Their simplicity makes them a great
base for Feather projects, when you don't need a wireless network, or built-in datalogging.

These were the First Feathers, as it were. They form the basis of later Feathers, so if you start
here you can upgrade!

There's three chipsets available:

Atmel (now Microchip) ATmega32u4

Atmel (now Microchip) ATSAMD21
Freescale MK20DX256 - A.K.A Teensy 3.2, via an adapter

AVR ATmega32u4

Adafruit Feather 32u4 Basic Proto

PRODUCT ID: 2771

ATmega32u4 is a well known 8-bit AVR processor, and may be more familiar to people who use
the similar Arduino '328s. It's tried-and-true. The Arduino core for it was first developed in 2012
and so it's quite stable and well-known. Many low-level ATmega328 examples will work out of
the box on the 32u4 (but not all!). It has 32KB of Flash and 2.5KB of RAM. It runs at 8 MHz and

© Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather Page 27 of 88

has native USB support

ARM ATSAMD21

Adafruit Feather M0 Basic Proto - ATSAMD21 Cortex M0

PRODUCT ID: 2772

The ATSAMD21 M0 is a 32-bit Cortex M0, with a ton more flash and RAM: 256KB and 32KB. It
is also supported in Arduino but is a little newer (circa ~2015) and so does not have as many
years of projects and example code already. It's also a completely different chipset than the
AVR, so low level code will not work and must be re-written.

That said, its about the same price and you get a ton more speed (48 MHz and 32-bit
processing), and peripherals. For example you can easily create multiple hardware UARTs or
I2C ports, which is impossible on the AVR. Other stuff like I2S audio, 12-bit analog input, and
true analog output (DAC) is only available on this chip. Especially if you're running low on Flash,
RAM, or analog inputs, this is a nice upgrade.

It turns out the Teensy 3.2 fits right between the headers of a Feather, so we thought - hey lets
make this into an adapter!
You get the awesome power, speed, and projects of the Teensy 3, with the wings of a Feather.

It's a great way to take advantage of the Feather ecosystem. You dont geteverything - for
example the EN pin isn't connected. But we've tested our FeatherWings (http://adafru.it/vby) so
far and all are drop-in compatible.

With the space left over, we even added in a 500mA LiPoly charger that automatically charges
over USB and will switch over to the LiPo when USB is unplugged. There's also a 100K resistor
divider for monitoring the battery voltage connected to A7

Teensy not included, so be sure to pick one up, too!

WiFi Feathers
Around 2012, low cost WiFi embedded modules started appearing to makers. At first they were
$20 each but the introduction of the TI CC3000 broke the $10/ea barrier (in large qty) and so
embedded boards with WiFi started coming on the market. Then in 2014, Espressif released a
$2 WiFi-inclusive microcontroller called the ESP8266 and competition heated up. Now there's a
lot of WiFi options available for makers to create IoT projects!

About WiFi
WiFi is just about everywhere but there's a few things to watch out for:

Compared to Bluetooth, WiFi uses a ton of power, you can easily end up using 250mA
during transmit and receive/listening. Try to use low power modes to reduce that if possible
Compared to ZigBee, BTLE or LoRa/Packet radio, WiFi can transfer a lot more data a lot
faster! You can easily stream compressed audio over WiFi.
Compared to Ethernet, you may have connectivity problems, just like you do when your
laptop has poor reception
Compared to Cellular, WiFi tends to need a base-station nearby, so you can't use it in the
middle of nowhere unless you have a WiFi hotspot
Compared to just about any other wireless protocol, WiFi is strongly supported by every
computer/tablet/phone, has strong encryption built-in, and can reach anywhere around the
world!
Like LoRa & packetized radio, you can create a WiFi ad-hoc network but this usually
requires a little extra effort

All of our current WiFi Feather options support WPA PSK passcoding and SSL encryption. The
full capabilities of SSL may vary, and you may have to do a little extra work for adding the SSL
certificate to the module for true SSL checking.

WiFi Feather Options

We have a few WiFi Feathers available

Adafruit Feather HUZZAH with ESP8266 WiFi

PRODUCT ID: 2821

The Feather Huzzah ESP8266 is a perennial favorite. It features an FCC/CE certified ESP-12
module that contains an ESP8266 chip, 4 MB of SPI flash and antenna.

Pros:

The ESP8266 is super popular, has tons of projects, tutorials, guides

Arduino support is very good, with a community/Espressif supported build that has been
updated and maintained
Can also be used with MicroPython or Lua
Fast and reliable WiFi connectivity with SSL support
Speedy chip at 80 MHz
Very affordable, lower cost than other WiFi chipsets

Cons:

High power draw, no easy-to-use sleep modes

Single core design has a real time component that is not documented but required cycle
time, so Arduino code needs to constantly yield() or the RTOS component will reset/crash
Not a lot of GPIO pins, many have special functions so you can't use them for any purpose
Only one analog input pin, 1.0V max
No real datasheet or in-depth documentation. Most information is community-sourced or
'word-of-mouth'. Tech support is minimal.

For the most part, the low cost of the ESP8266 has been enough incentive for people to

overlook the drawbacks of the chip and figure out how to create projects with what they've got.

Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi - ATSAMD21 + ATWINC1500

PRODUCT ID: 3010

Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi with uFL - ATSAMD21 + ATWINC1500

PRODUCT ID: 3061

The Feather M0 + ATWINC1500 is a pairing of chips: there's a main processor (the Feather M0

part) and the wifi processor module (the ATWINC1500 part). As such, these Feathers are more
expensive than all-in-one WiFi solutions. But, as a positive, they have a really powerful and well-
documented main processor that runs separately from WiFi which can give you more control.

Pros:

Main chip is ATSAMD21G18, which has solid official Arduino support

Tons of GPIO and peripherals: analog inputs, I2S audio, DMA and even analog output
support
Proper sleep modes, can shut down WiFi module completely
ATWINC1500 has some low-power mode support
Fast and reliable WiFi
Good SSL support, including SSL certificate uploading for fingerprinting
Main processor is well-known and documented Cortex M0+ chip. WINC1500 has official
support from Atmel/Microchip.
Can use external antenna with the uFL version

Cons:

The ESP32 is the 'big sister' the the ESP8266. It has two cores, so that one can take care of the
wireless management and data while the other one does processing

Pros:

High speed dual chipset has tons of processing capabilites

Lots of GPIO, analog inputs, two analog outputs, peripherals a-plenty!
WiFi, Bluetooth LE and Bluetooth Classic all in one chipset, so you can do a wide range of
IoT
Plenty of example code support from Espressif, and they've hired skilled community
members to write code, libraries, Arduino core support, and projects
Low power sleep support
MicroPython support

Cons:

Slow roll-out means not as many projects for this chipset yet, but it's gaining popularity
No detailed documentation about peripherals. Support is offered as example code.
As of mid-2017, core WiFi and BTLE functionality is supported but some capabilities like
classic BT or dual-wireless projects are still in-the-works

Particle Photon. This chip combines an STM32 and BCM radio. Thanks to Thach's amazing
software stack, we've taken a very complex and powerful chipset pair and made it trivially easy
to get working within Arduino.

Pros:

Powerful ARM Cortex M4F MCU (STM32F205) running at 120MHz with HW floating point
and encryption acceleration.
Works directly from the Arduino IDE, generating native ARM M4F code that runs directly
on the target MCU.
Plenty of GPIO and powerful peripherals, including native USB support with a custom USB
DFU bootloader for programming from the Arduino IDE or from the command line.
Fast throughput due to the efficient WiFi stack and fast multi-lane connection between the
MCU and the Broadcom radio.
Advanced features for various encryption modes, including TLS 1.2 (required for Amazon
Web Services, etc.).

Cons:

The WiFi stack and security libs are black box closed source solutions, meaning we have
little influence over bug fixes and getting changes into the code. We're largely at the mercy
of Broadcom (now Cypress) for any bug issues, and like any very complex stack there are
known bugs in the security and wireless layers.
No access to the low level source code since it is under very strict NDA, and we had to
bend over backward to implement a layer that sits on top of the NDA code so that we have
something we can expose.

Bluetooth Feathers
About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a 2.4GHz wireless protocol that is popular for short range - about 10 meters max.
It's very low power and simpler than WiFi. That low power and simplicity has made it the most
popular point-to-point wireless transport - you now get a Bluetooth transceiver in every phone,
tablet and laptop.

There are, annoyingly, two flavors of Bluetooth: BT Classic and BT Low Energy (introduced as
part of the Bluetooth 4.0 standard). And, annoyingly, despite the similar names, they are
completely different and not cross-compatible.

Bluetooth classic is used for unstructured serial data transfer (sometimes called SPP),
keyboards and mice, and audio such as BT speakers or BT headsets

Bluetooth LE is used for structured data (organized by 'Services', which are made up of
individual 'Characteristics'), beacons, keyboards and mice, MIDI, but not audio. It is also the
only method exposed to the user in iOS.

Basically the thing to watch for is if you want to communicate with SPP devices or BT audio, you
can't use LE. If you want to work with iOS, you can't use Classic. Keyboards/mice can be either.

Adafruit Feather nRF52 Bluefruit LE

board, with a native-bluetooth chip, the nRF52832! It's our take on an...

The Feather nRF52 is a new direction compared to our 32u4 or M0 Bluefruit boards. This
Feather has only one chip on it - and that chip is both the processor you program and also the
Bluetooth Low Energy radio. What's nice about this is you can do more powerful stuff, and
faster too, because you don't have to manage two chips. It's also lower price and lower power
since there's only one processor, and easier to put into sleep modes.

Pros:

Code runs natively on the nRF52832 MCU, so it's fast, efficient and less expensive than
the two MCU based nRF51 boards
Powerful ARM Cortex M4F processor with 512KB flash and 64KB SRAM
Better low power potential due to being a single chip solution
Because everything runs natively, a lot of complexity can be hidden behind simple helper
classes, making things like ANCS (http://adafru.it/wfj) possible and manageable compared
to the nRF51.
Supports both Central and Peripheral mode, Central mode meaning it can behave like a
phone and initiate connections to other peripherals, although Central SW support is in the
very early stages at this point

© Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather Page 38 of 88

Much more room to grow due to the MCU capabilities and flash/SRAM size compared to
the earlier nRF51832, and more advanced on board peripherals.

Cons:

A new chipset that is not an ATmega328 or ATmega32u4, so some older low-level

Arduino libraries and techniques are not compatible. This doesn't happen a lot but if you're
porting a project over, you'll have to watch for it!
Can not be used as a 'client' with your favorite MCU at the moment (unlike the nRF51),
since code all runs natively (making this both a pro or a con depending on your needs).
Examples from the nRF51 and nRF52 are not compatible with each other since they have
entirely different programming models.
Cannot use Bluetooth Classic
UART pins (RX/TX) are not available for connecting to sensors/wings, as they are used
for programming and debug of the native chip.

Feather Bluefruit M0 and 32u4

Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE

PRODUCT ID: 2829

Adafruit Feather M0 Bluefruit LE

PRODUCT ID: 2995

Our original Bluefruit Feathers are the 32u4 and M0-based. These pairs are very similar
looking, and have the same basic idea behind them: there is a main processor which is an
ATmega32u4 or ATSAMD21 and a co-processor module which is the red and silver rectangle,
containing an nRF51 which can do Bluetooth Low Energy only.

The nRF51 is programmed with our Bluefruit firmware, and can be controlled with AT
commands over SPI connection. When the main processor (32u4 or M0) wants to send or
receive BLE data, it sends commands to the co-processor module. We decided to go this way
because the nRF51 did not have as-good a programming setup as the nRF52, and we thought
people would have a better experience if the main chip was not also doing the radio work.

That said, if you already have code for the 32u4 or M0 chips, this is an easy upgrade, you get all
the peripherals you know and love. This may be easier for beginners who are not quite ready to
work with the native nRF52

Pros:

Familiar 32u4 and M0 chipsets

No need to worry about the Nordic 'softdevice' radio thread interrupting timing-specific
code since the radio is completely separate.
Lots of existing code and projects

Cons:

© Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather Page 40 of 88

Can only act as Peripheral, not Central
More expensive as it is a 2-chip solution
Higher power draw
Can't take advantage of new nRF52 capabilites as the firmware is updated and released
by Nordic
Cannot use Bluetooth Classic

ESP32 Feather

Adafruit HUZZAH32 – ESP32 Feather Board

PRODUCT ID: 3405

Even though this is primarily considered a WiFi Feather, the ESP32 does contain a BT LE and
BT Classic radio! That's right this is the only Feather that can do BT classic. It's also the only
one that can do WiFi and BT (altho, as of this writing, it cannot do both at once)

Sounds great, right? Well, there's some caveats. As of this writing, May 2017, the ESP32
Bluetooth core is still under development and there's only one basic beacon example for use
with the Arduino IDE core. So we put this one at the bottom of the list. You can check the
ESP32 Arduino core and what has been added here, (http://adafru.it/wfk) if there's an example
for what you want to do, then you're in luck!

Once there's more working examples, we can fill out the pros and cons more. Right now we
think it should only be used by bleeding-edge developers who are cool with running weekly

regression tests on their project.

Pros:

All-in-one Feather can do anything and everything (except make you a sandwich)
Fast dual-core processor
Low cost

Cons:

Still waiting on integration and support for BT and BTLE radio

Cellular Feathers
The cool thing about cellular connectivity is you can use it just about anywhere in the world. The
FONA GSM module can be used anywhere that 2G GSM exists. In the USA this is provided by
T-Mobile so if you have T-Mobile coverage, you have GSM.

We provide cellular connectivity via the SIM800H module. This module uses AT commands and
the main processor, the ATmega32u4, communicates via a UART connection. The AT
commands are somewhat standard and they are all documented pretty well, but if you want to
do something special that isn't already written up in our library, it can be a little bit of an
adventure.

Compared to WiFi, cellular requires much more power, and has lower data transfer rate.
SSL support is not very clearly documented
Compared to BTLE, data rate is about the same, but power requirement is waaaay higher
Compared to LoRa or Packet radio, the data rate is about the same, but the power
requirements are much higher. That said, you don't need to create your own radio
network, you can just use the cellular net that already exists. There's no inherent range
limitation, as long as GSM coverage is present.

Often times, the only real alternatives to cellular are WiFi or LoRa. WiFi is a good alternative -
but only if you can be sure that there's a WiFi base-station or hotspot nearby. LoRa can do long
range communication, up to a few KM but you need to set up your own network/gateway.

Cellular Feathers
This section is fairly short because there's only one cellular-capable Feather at this time, the
32u4 FONA

Adafruit Feather 32u4 FONA

PRODUCT ID: 3027

Pros:

Can use (just about) anywhere in the world!

Surprisingly low cost of entry
Gain access to SMS network, phone calls, and Internet through GPRS
Basic geo-location capability built-in via cell-tower triangulation (not as good as GPS but
good to within ~1 mile)
No need for a base-station or hotspot
ATmega32u4 is well supported chip, with native USB and full Arduino core.

Cons:

You'll pay per message, call, text or megabyte. A SIM card and plan is required
GSM is only supported by T-Mobile in the USA, and GSM will be supported until at least
2020 but after that, you'll want to upgrade to LTE
High power requirements, a large battery is required to handle the 2 Amp power spikes
when transmitting/connecting to the network
Cellular connectivity can be spotty, especially when roaming. Code needs to be able to
manage re-connection.
AT commands can be a little clunky, require care and parsing.
Extra large Feather to make space for the module
Antenna placement often trips people up: if it's too close to the main processor it can reset
the Feather, so you can't make it too compact.
Cellular module runs directly off of LiPo battery so you cannot use only USB power

LoRa & Radio Feathers
WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee and Cellular are everyday wireless protocols you use every day - at
home, at work, with friends. Sometimes, though, you need to leave the well-known and venture
to the more exotic! The RFM69 and LoRa Feathers let you create a more flexible wireless
network.

Instead of depending on a WiFi router, Bluetooth Central, ZigBee Master or Cellphone tower,
LoRa and RFM69 work well in point-to-point or meshing configurations, with eye-popping
ranges. They also don't need complex pairing or connection overhead, turn on the radio and
transmit when you like, then turn it back off. They are the "rugged individuals" of wireless!

The trade-off is that you'll have to do a bit more work in the software to manage your packets,
and re-transmission.

Pros:

No need for master or central router, you can use two radios or hundreds of radios, all
talking to each other
Long range: RFM69 can go 500 meters with a basic antenna, 5Km with directional
antennas and care. LoRa can go 2Km with a basic antenna, 20Km with directional
antennas. (Contrast with ZigBee & WiFi's ~100m max range, and BT ~10m range)
Great for short burst packets, with ~10Kbps rate
Best for outdoor usage
RFM69 have low cost, LoRa are more expensive (but with longer range)
Adjustable transmission power
No link overhead, send packets without needing setup/teardown of connection
RFM69 has built-in encryption capability

Cons:

Neither RFM69 nor LoRa are standardized, or built into laptops, so you need at least two
of the radios to connect to a computer
LoRa Feathers do not have LoRaWAN built in, must be added in software (which isn't
hard)
Link management and re-transmission is up to the user, so there's a little more work to do!
LoRa radio does not have built-in encryption, must be added by hand by the user.
Not good for audio/photo or video bandwidths, best for small data packets.
Tweaking and tuning of antenna setup required to get the longest ranges.

Which One???
© Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather Page 45 of 88
There's a lot of options for these radio feathers, because each chipset (32u4 and M0) has two
radio types (RFM69 and LoRa) and then two frequencies (433MHz and 900MHz). That's 8 total
options.

The easiest decision is what frequency you need to use.If you are in ITU "Americas" you
should go with the 900MHz radio. If you are in ITU "Europe" you should go with 433MHz radio.
(If you are a HAM radio licensed operator you may be able to use either, check your countries'
available frequency bands, and restrictions)

If you are in a country that allows unlicensed usage of 868 MHz, pick the 900 MHz radio. Both
RFM69 and LoRa are 'software tuned' - so just make sure you set the Arduino library code to
868 MHz when you upload it.

You can tell what frequency your radio is by the dot on top. Red dot means ~400 MHz, Green
dot means ~900 MHz.

Then pick your radio type. The lower cost RFM69 doesn't go as far but has a lot of
functionality and can do the job for most projects. LoRa has much better range, and can be
used with LoRaWAN, but has additional cost. You cannot mix and match radios: RFM69 cannot
'speak' LoRa.

Both radio modules are identical shape and pinout, so we re-use the same Feather layout for
both.

Finally, pick your chipset. ATmega32u4 is a well known 8-bit AVR processor, and may be
more familiar to people who use the similar Arduino '328s. The ATSAMD21 M0 is a 32-bit
Cortex M0, with a ton more flash and RAM, and is also supported in Arduino but is a little newer
and so does not have as many years of projects and example code already. If you want to use
LoRaWAN firmware, we suggest M0 Feathers since you will need to store all that extra software

FeatherWings

Giving your Feather a Wing lets it fly!

The best part about the Feather system is all the wings you can add on.

Start with a WiFi feather and add an TFT for a WiFi Weather display (http://adafru.it/wfm).

Or, take a LoRa feather and add an OLED display to make aRemote Control Effects Box for
theatrical control (http://adafru.it/wfn)

Pick and choose - you can even add multiple wings (as long as there are no pin or I2C address
conflicts). We tried to use I2C for as many Wings as possible, so you can make fairly advanced
projects just by plugging boards together.

Graphic Display Wings
Display Wings let you add a monochrome or color display for lots of data. These are very
popular, as you can imagine, for adding a user interface.

These Wings work with all Feathers.

You can only really use one display at a time. The OLED Featherwing uses only I2C and works
with any other Wings. The TFT 'wing uses a lot of pins, so works best with only I2C Wings.

FeatherWing OLED - 128x32 OLED Add-on For All Feather Boards

PRODUCT ID: 2900

This tiny Wing is so cute, and it has a 128x32 monochrome OLED display. OLEDs have a crisp
and high-contrast look, so they are great for indoor and some outdoor use. There's no backlight
so they use little power (only as much as the pixels that are lit).

The OLED is connected over I2C so it uses only two pins. In addition, there are 3 little buttons
connected directly to three GPIO pins. You can use the buttons to add basic interactivity. Only
one OLED FeatherWing can be used with a Feather board.

If you need a bigger and more colorful screen, the TFT FeatherWing has just about everything.
There is a 320x240 full-color TFT display. There is also a resistive touchscreen on top, for
interactivity. On the bottom is a microSD card holder so you can store images or data to be
displayed. We also toss in an on-off switch.

The display is much bigger than the OLED, and uses the SPI port for communication with the
TFT/touch/SD card.

The Wing requires an additional two pins for the TFT. One additional pin if you are using the
touch screen, and one extra pin if using SD interface. (So, SPI + 4 GPIO pins max if using all
three)

Unlike other wings, this one is fully assembled and the feather plugs into the bottom. If you want
to stack Wings, you'll need to solder stacking headers to the Feather, then stack on top of that.

LED Display Wings
If you don't need a full graphical display, you can use our LED matrix/segment Wings. These
can be good for simplified displays where you don't need the complexity and pins of a graphical
TFT or OLED. They all use I2C only, so they won't take up extra pins or interfere with other
Wings if you want to stack them up or use them side-by-side.

We have a ton of options, with various displays and colors!

These Wings use I2C only for the interface, and work with all Feathers. You can change the
addresses used to have multiple displays, and they can be used with other Feathers as well -
just make sure there are no I2C address conflicts.

The Charlieplexed wings are similar to the 8x16 wings above, but use a different chipset.
Instead of the HT16K33, we use the IS31FL3731. Now, you might be wondering, who cares

© Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather Page 65 of 88

what chipset is used? But there's some things you can do with the IS31FL3731 that you can't
with the HT16K33.

Unlike the simple HT16K33, the IS31 can drive the individual LEDs in a grid at different
brightnesses. This means you get a full 8-bit PWM individual brightness per pixel. This is great
for when you want to make artistic LED displays that aren't just 'on and off'. But, the IS31
requires the LEDs to be in a certain arrangement, so we use individual 0603 LEDs rather than
the 8x8 modules above

The tradeoff is you get individual LED control, and a sparkly look, but not the nice diffusion of
the 8x16. Also, there's smaller number of LEDs because we couldn't fit a full 8x16 grid.These
come in 6 colors (warm white isn't shown above). The I2C address can be set to 0x74 or 0x77
so you can, in theory, have two of these at a time.

Pros:

Blindingly bright RGB pixels! So much color!

Familiar NeoPixels are well known, lots of example code available for all chips
Uses only one pin for all of the LEDs

Cons:

Somewhat low resolution display, 4x8 pixels

Can be power hungry, up go 35mA per pixel at full white - so proper programming is
essential
LEDs are powered off of USB/LiPo, so disabling the Feather via the EN pin will not
disable the NeoPixels.

Motor & Servo Wings
Feather can make a great base for your next robotic project. We've got two Wings that make
easy work of adding motors.

Best of all, these two FeatherWings only use I2C, so they work with all Feathers. The I2C
address can be changed with a solder jumper, so you can add multiple Wings for lots of motors,
or use them with any other Wings. (Just make sure you have each wing with a unique I2C
address)

Both of these Wings are designed for driving fairly powerful motors, easily 1A draw each. For
that reason, we do not run the motors off of USB or the LiPo battery - they are dedicated for
running the Feather only. Instead, the 'loud and messy' power supply for the motors is provided
via a terminal block.

We recommend something like our 4 x AA battery pack, with NiMH rechargeable batteries.

Most of our Feathers do have PWM/Servo outputs, but often they are shared or there's not
enough of them. With this Wing you need not worry about jitter or timer allocation. The 8 x servo
outputs are completely driven by a I2C-controlled chip. All the outputs have the same PWM
rate, but have individually controlled duty cycles @ 12-bit resolution.

There's an I2C-controlled PWM driver with a built in clock. That means that, unlike the
TLC5940 family, you do not need to continuously send it signal tying up your
microcontroller, its completely free running!
It is 5V compliant, which means you can control it from a 3.3V Feather and still safely drive
up to 6V outputs (this is good for when you want to control white or blue LEDs with 3.4+
forward voltages)
6 address select pins so you can stack up to 62 of these on a single i2c bus, a total of 992
outputs - that's a lot of servos or LEDs
Adjustable frequency PWM up to about 1.6 KHz
12-bit resolution for each output - for servos, that means about 4us resolution at 60Hz
update rate
Configurable push-pull or open-drain output

If stacking these, we recommend using right-angle servo connectors:

DC Motor + Stepper FeatherWing Add-on For All Feather Boards

PRODUCT ID: 2927

Motors require both GPIO and PWMs, and they quickly start hogging all your pins up. With this

and 2 motors.

Motor FeatherWing Specs:

4 full H-Bridges: the TB6612 chipset provides 1.2A per bridge with thermal shutdown
protection, internal kickback protection diodes. Can run motors on 4.5VDC to 13.5VDC.
Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 12-bit speed selection (so, about 0.02%
resolution)
Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil, interleaved or
micro-stepping.
Motors automatically disabled on power-up
Big 3.5mm terminal block connectors to easily hook up wires (18-26AWG) and power
Polarity protected 2-pin terminal block and jumper to connect external power, for separate
logic/motor supplies
Completely stackable design: 5 address-select jumper pads means up to 32 stackable
wings: that's 64 steppers or 128 DC motors! What on earth could you do with that many
steppers? I have no idea but if you come up with something send us a photo because that
would be a pretty glorious project.

Relay Wings
Click-clack! If you want to control devices or appliances with your Feather, you can do so with a
Relay FeatherWing. These Wings have a single relay on them. We have a few different types,
but all have similar functionality.

The relay is controlled by one or two pins. You'll need to solder a jumper wire or close a solder
jumper to select the pin. Since they're simple, you can use them with any Feather and along-
side any Wing, as long as the pins you select for relay-control are not already use.

You can also have multiple relays if you like, just make sure the pins selected are unique.

This is the Latching version of the above relay. This one requires two pins,
a SET and UNSET and instead of keeping the SET pin high, you only have to pulse each pin
high for 10ms to latch the relay open or closed. You need two pins but save power. Note, if
power is lost, the relay will stay in the last setting.

Both FeatherWings use the same family of relay. You can switch up to 2A of resistive current at
30VDC or ~40VAC or lower. At 110VDC you can switch up to 0.3A, at 120VAC up to 0.5A, and
at 250VAC you can switch up to 0.6A.

This Wing has a non-latching type relay. Compared to our smaller mini relay FeatherWings, this
one can handle a beefy 1200 Watts!

You can switch up to 10A of resistive-load current at 120VAC, 5A at 240VAC. With inductive
loads, about half that. Check the datasheet for the relay for the exact switching capacity, as it
depends on type of load and voltage type and magnitude. This relay is good for handling fairly
large devices, computers, TVs, small appliances and more.

GPS Wing

Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing

PRODUCT ID: 3133

This Wing is our only GPS/GNSS capable wing. It's great for adding location or time awareness
to your project.

That said, it is the Wing with the most compatibility issues. That's because it uses UART serial
to send/receive data. And many microcontrollers have only one UART and it's used for
programming and debugging.

These are the Feathers that are not compatible:

ESP8266 Huzzah Feather

nRF52 Bluefruit Feather

All other Feathers have a free UART (mostly because they have native USB for upload/debug)
or multiple UARTs, like the ESP32.

You can only have one GPS, but it can be used with any other Wing (since it's the only UART-
using wing)

Antenna Reception
Like all GPS devices, the Wing needs a good antenna orientation to receive the tiny signals sent
from space. The GPS Wing has a built in antenna, which can be used as long as the Feather is
in a non-metallic enclosure and facing up.

You can use a uFL -> SMA and SMA antenna to add a big antenna for good reception when in
an enclosure.

board is going to be part of a permanent installation, this Ethernet FeatherWing will let...

Ethernet is a reliable standard for Internet connectivity. If you don't need Wireless (and don't
want the headache of wireless either), then Ethernet can be a very good option.

No antennas, no SSIDs, no passwords, plug it in and forget about it.

While there are a few Feathers that have built-in 'Ethernet support' they all need a PHY interface
anyways and it's about the same price as the W5500 chipset we use. So we just went with this,
which is a well-known (or, at least, infamous) chipset. And, yes, you can use it with our WiFi
Feathers to create a Feather with dual-connectivity options (or a very slow and silly WiFi bridge)

This Wing uses the SPI pins and a CS pin, you can cut the jumper to re-assign the CS pin. You
can use with other SPI-based wings (displays, music, radio, datalogging, etc) just make sure
there's no pin conflict for the CS pin.

This Wing does not support active Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), but you can easily hook up a
passive PoE configuration with a passive injector, a 5V power adapter, and a 2.1mm to
MicroUSB cable. See the tutorial page for more details (http://adafru.it/wiC)

© Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather Page 77 of 88

RTC & Datalogging Wings
While all the Feathers have a LiPo battery backup capability, they don't always have a true
"Real Time Clock" that can keep the correct time.

If you have a WiFi or Cellular Feather you may be able to get away with not having a true RTC
because you can connect to the network (say, NTP) and query the time. But, even then, there's
a chance you'll be off-grid and need to know the time and date.

Thus we have two options for adding an RTC. Both RTC's are I2C, and they share the same
address. So you can only have one RTC, but you can match them up with any other Wings. If
using the SD card on the Adalogger, just make sure the CS pin is not shared.

Both Wings work with all Feathers. A CR1220 coin cell is required and not included (to
make air-shipping abroad easier they are sold separately)

This FeatherWing will make it real easy to add datalogging to any of our existing Feathers. You
get both an I2C real time clock (PCF8523) with 32KHz crystal and battery backup, and a
microSD socket that connects to the SPI port pins (+ extra pin for CS).

If you don't need to use the SD card socket, leave it empty and the SPI + CS pins can be used
for something else.

The PCF8523 used in the Adalogger has an external 32kHz timing crystal that is used to keep
time with low current draw. And that's all well and good, but those crystals have slight drift,
particularly when the temperature changes (the temperature changes the oscillation frequency
very very very slightly but it does add up!)

The DS3231 RTC is in a beefy package because the crystal is inside the chip! And right next to
the integrated crystal is a temperature sensor. That sensor compensates for the frequency
changes by adding or removing clock ticks so that the timekeeping stays on schedule.

You'll get much higher precision with this RTC, at an additional cost. And there is no space for
an SD card holder.

Music Wings
If you'd like to create a music-playing project, adding a Music Maker Wing will make it easy.
These feature the VS1053 chipset which can do MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WAVE playback. They also
have a MIDI synth inside that can be controlled over UART.

Both Music Maker Wings have the same circuitry/code but one has a headphone jack and the
other has a 2 Watt audio amplifier. If you want to connect speakers directly, go with the amp. If
you want to use headphones or connect to a powered stereo, the headphone one will work fine.

Main SPI Mode compatibility

There's a lot going on with these Wings, and they have some incompatibilities:

If you are only playing audio (MP3/Ogg/Wave), then these Wings are compatible with all
Feathers.

But there are a lot of pins used: SPI + 3 for the MP3 chip and +1 for the SD card. MP3 playing
works best with an interrupt, so those pins can be used at any time. We don't even recommend
using this with Feathers that want to access SPI at their leisure, such as the Adalogger, non-
nRF52 Bluefruit, or Radio. It is possible but use care to make sure you aren't using the two SPI
devices at once.

We only recommend using this Wing along-side I2C-based FeatherWings to make sure there
are no conflicts

MIDI Synth Mode compatibility

If you want to use the UART MIDI synth (which is not the same mode as the MP3/Ogg/Wave
player), you'll need to use the UART TX pin. For the nRF52 or ESP8266 Feathers, you may
need to remove the 'Wing during programming. And, you'll end up re-using the main Serial
console for MIDI which can be confusing.
