Help choosing board for ANCS Bluetooth project

Post by burrito_poots »

Regarding this ANCS project, what would be the absolute fastest option for running this that runs CircuitPython without any headaches? Project will have an OLED display (128x128 probably). I'm guessing a raspberry pi, but I don't have a great grasp on what CircuitPython compatibility for the rpi looks like.

Can a raspberry pi (zero?) run all of the bluetooth related things in the ANCS project? If not what's my next best option for a speedy board with minimal lag that's written in CircuitPython?

The project was made with a Circuit Playground Bluefruit and a TFT Gizmo:

That Circuit Playground runs CircuitPython, and you should be able to follow the tutorial directly.

As RasPi could be made to do something similar (if you could get one), but that would require major modification.
