Circuit Playground - Classic

Circuit Playground features an ATmega32u4 processor. The board's also round and has alligator-clip pads around it so you don't have to solder or sew to make it work. You can power it from USB, a AAA battery pack, or with a Lipoly battery (for advanced users).

Circuit Playground has built-in USB support. All you really need is a MicroUSB cable - not included! The Circuit Playground has USB HID support, so it can act like a mouse or keyboard and attach directly to computers.
