As of October 9th, 2015 the 5V Trinket comes with a micro-USB connector instead of a mini-USB connector! Trinket may be small, but do not be fooled by its size! It's a tiny microcontroller board, built around the Atmel ATtiny85, a little chip with a lot of power. We wanted to design a microcontroller board that was small enough to fit into any project, and low cost enough to use without hesitation. Perfect for when you don't want to give...

We still love the Pro Trinket but the bit-bang USB technique it uses doesn't work as well as it did in 2014. So while we still carry the Pro Trinket, we really recommend using the Metro Mini (ATmega328 @ 5V 16 MHz), ItsyBitsy 32u4 5V 16MHz, ItsyBitsy 32u4 @ 3.3V 8MHz or ItsyBitsy M0 @ 3V 48MHz. All have built-in USB and are comparable in price! The ItsyBitsy's especially are about the same size and have native USB and tons of pins, so...

What's smaller than a Feather but larger than a Trinket? It's an ItsyBitsy! Small, powerful, Arduino-compatible - this microcontroller board is perfect when you want something very compact, but still with a bunch of pins. ItsyBitsy is only 1.4" long by 0.7" wide, but has 6 power pins, 6 analog & digital pins and 17 digital pins. It packs much of the same capability as an Arduino UNO. So it's great once you've...

The Arduino Pro Mini is SparkFun's minimal design approach to Arduino.  It's essentially a 5v Arduino that runs an 16 MHz bootloader on a super small, super thin board.  There are no connectors attached - allowing you to add whatever connectors or wire you want without too much trouble. The goal of the Pro Mini isn't to replace the Arduino so much as bring the cost down for more advanced users.  The Arduino...

Make your Arduino-based project tiny and with the Adafruit METRO Mini ! The METRO Mini works great with the Arduino IDE, and runs the ATmega328P at 16MHz so it is pin-compatible with Arduino UNO R3 - note you won't be able to plug in shields, but great for use with breadboards. You can use this with the Arduino IDE (both desktop and cloud version) by selecting 'Arduino UNO' in the Boards menu. We sure love the ATmega328 here at...

We sure love the ATmega328 here at Adafruit, and we use them a lot for our own projects. The processor has plenty of GPIO, Analog inputs, hardware UART SPI and I2C, timers and PWM galore - just enough for most simple projects. When we need to go small, we use a Pro Trinket 3V or 5V, but when size isn't as much of a concern, and a USB-serial converter is required, we reach for an Adafruit METRO . METRO is the culmination of years of playing with...
