What’s the size of a credit card and can run CircuitPython, MakeCode Arcade or Arduino? That’s right, it’s the Adafruit PyBadge! We wanted to see how much we could cram into a 3 38 2 18 inch rounded rectangle, to make an all-in-one dev board with a lot of possibilities, and this is what we came up with.

The PyBadge is a compact board, credit card sized. It’s powered by our favorite chip, the ATSAMD51, with 512KB of flash and 192KB of RAM. We add 2 MB of QSPI flash for file storage, handy for images, fonts, sounds, or game assets.

Here’s a starter kit of parts for all the parts you need to get started. Now you’ve got no excuse for not digging in! Makes for a great workshop pack, hackerspace kit, or gift.

Includes:

• Adafruit PyBadge for MakeCode Arcade, CircuitPython or Arduino
• Lithium Ion Polymer Battery with Short Cable – 3.7V 420mAh
• Double-Hook Lanyard in Adafruit Black
• USB cable – USB A to Micro-B – 3 foot long

Revision History:

• As of November 19, 2024 – The end of the JST cable is now taped sideways to the top of the battery to avoid accidental rips.
