Adafruit, DigiKey, Metro M7, NXP!

Your favourite electronics firms have collaborated to make the quickest Metro ever! For this new product, DigiKey, NXP and Adafruit all contributed the stuff the stuff they know finest: delivery components quick (DigiKey), designing microcontrollers (NXP) and crafting nice merchandise with tutorials (that’s us, Adafruit!) We teamed as much as current to you the Adafruit Metro M7 with microSD! An NXP iMX RT1011 microcontroller powers this board with a 500 MHz ARM Cortex M7 processor. As you’ll be able to anticipate, there’s a micro SD card slot wired up proper on board in an effort to learn recordsdata or information log simply to detachable, wear-leveled storage.

The Adafruit Metro M7 with microSD information has all the pieces it is advisable get began along with your board together with pinouts particulars, CircuitPython set up directions and demos, reset information, and downloads sources. The CircuitPython Necessities part contains an SD card demo web page to get you began utilizing that function of this Metro. In the event you picked up considered one of these good pink boards, remember to try this information!

Take a look at the total information: Adafruit Metro M7 with microSD!
