Adafruit GEMMA

Draft

Introduction

Adafruit GEMMA is a small e-textile Arduino-compatible board that also can be programmed with CircuitPython. Quote: "The Gemma M0 is a super small microcontroller board, with just enough to build many simple projects. It may look small and cute: round, about the size of a quarter, with friendly alligator-clip sew pads". (Gemma M0 Overview page, August 2019).

As of August 2019, Gemma M0 version is the most interesting version. Version V1 and V2 are no longer recommended.

Using CircuitPython

“The most exciting part of the Gemma M0 is that while you can use it with the Arduino IDE, we are shipping it with CircuitPython on board. When you plug it in, it will show up as a very small disk drive with main.py on it. Edit main.py with your favorite text editor to build your project using Python, the most popular programming language. No installs, IDE or compiler needed, so you can use it on any computer, even ChromeBooks or computers you can't install software on. When you're done, unplug the Gemma M0 and your code will go with you.”
