Circuit Python

Post by Designer123 »

Hello Support,

Can I use the Adafruit METRO 328 Fully Assembled - Arduino IDE compatible - ATmega328
with Circuit Python? If not can you suggest a development board in the Metro family.



Thank you.

You cannot run CircuitPython on the Metro 328 -- the Atmega328 processor is not supported.
Metro M0 https://www.adafruit.com/product/3505
Metro M4 https://www.adafruit.com/product/3382
Metro M4Airlift https://www.adafruit.com/product/4000
all are supported by CircuitPython

I would recommend the Metro M4 since it has a lot more RAM available to support programs. If you are using sensors or displays and their support libraries the M0 will be very limited in what it can support.

The Metro M4 Airlift adds a WiFi Coprocessor (ESP32) if that is of interest

Note: I do not represent Adafruit. Just offering some information.
