Please advise which board to use?

Post by WWJD »

Sorry for this (stupid) question but I'm stull using mostly the Uno but I want to 'upgrade' to IoT projects so I need a board which I can use with the Arduino IDE and most of the available libraries.

I read about the ATSAMD51 and I wondered if the ItsyBitsy M4 would be my 'goto' board for all sorts of projects like previously the Arduino Uno was?

I love to use TFT screens with custom fonts which need maybe a bit more memory and CPU speed...

I bought a Pico and Arduino Nano rp2040 connect but I met too many hurdles to get for example wifi (arduino rp2040) running...
If I were younger maybe all would be a bit easier... ;)

So I'm looking forward to your advise, thanks!

The Feather line of boards are my go-to. There's a variety of MCU boards with various capabilities, speed, and memory. There's also the vast ecosystem of addon FeatherWing boards. See https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather for an overview. Keep in mind that there have been new boards since that was written.

Additionally there are boards like the PyPortal https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pyportal line and the new FunHouse https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-funhouse which are great for IoT projects.
