ENG-CANSAT-CONTENT
The CanSat kit it build around the Adafruit Industries Feather M0 Express plateform.
- Feather is a new emerging standard -Arduino compatible plaform- for embedded projet.
- Feather is small, light and already brings lot useful features.
- Feather M0 is compatible with Arduino M0, so compatible with Arduino IDE.
- Feather M0 Express also embed FLASH memory that can act like SD Card (Arduino IDE) or USB Stick (CircuitPython)
As Feather M0 is compatible Arduino IDE, everything learned for Arduino Uno can be applied to Feather M0. Just care about voltage, the UNO is 5V Logic and the Feather 3.3V logic.
| Feather M0 Features |
| 20 GPIOs |
| 6 Analog inputs 12bits value from 0 to 4095. |
| 1 Analog output 10 bits value from 0 to 1023. |
| PWM on all pins |
| Hardware I2C et SPI buses |
| UART |
| Feather are: |
| * Small (5c2xm) |
| * Light (4.7Gr) |
| * Powerful |
| * Versatile |
| * Polyvalent |
| * Available with complete ecosystem |
