ScoutMakes Azul
Supports CircuitPython & Adafruit Feather format
Description
The ScoutMakes Azul is an open source Bluetooth (BLE) development platform featuring the nRF52840 (32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 processor) from Nordic Semiconductor, enabling excellent Bluetooth development capabilities for your project. It conforms to the Adafruit Feather format, and runs CircuitPython or Arduino. The platform also has native USB support.
To enable even more integration, a 128x32 OLED is also built in along with USB Type-C support and a power switch for ease of use.
The platform comes pre-programmed with a UF2 bootloader and CircuitPython ready to go out of box. You can pair the Azul with the Adafruit Bluefruit application on iOS or Android to get going. The application includes a color picker, quaternion/accelerometer/gyro/magnetometer or location (GPS), and an 8-button control game pad. This data can be read over BLE and processed directly by the nRF52 microcontroller.
LiPo battery and micro-USB cable not included.
