Review: Fun for learning - Needed this for a college course. Definitely made coding less terrible lol Review: Awesome Intro to Coding - This is such a fun, simple and easy way to get into micro controller programming. Not only is the hardware fantastic there are so many resources available online from Adafruit and others to learn how to program it. Fun for a wide range of ages. I love it (33-year-old adult), but so does my 7-year-old son. ## Features - The original Circuit Playground Classic made even better - ATSAMD21 ARM Cortex M0 Processor, running at 3.3V and 48MHz - 2 MB of SPI Flash storage, used primarily with CircuitPython to store code and libraries. - MicroUSB port for programming and debugging - USB port can act like serial port, keyboard, mouse, joystick or MIDI! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0764MCBNR | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,613 in Single Board Computers (Computers & Accessories) | | Brand | Adafruit | | CPU Manufacturer | ARM | | CPU Speed | 48 MHz | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 148 Reviews | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.71"L x 3.35"W x 1.38"H | | Manufacturer | Adafruit | | Memory Storage Capacity | 2 MB | | Mfr Part Number | 3517 | | Model Number | 3517 | | Operating System | CircuitPython | | Processor Brand | ARM | | Processor Count | 1 | | Processor Speed | 48 MHz | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Total Usb Ports | 2 | | UPC | 789185843588 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Wireless Compability | Infrared | ## Images ![Adafruit Circuit Playground Express Developer Edition - Base Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Sr2Fu2zpL.jpg) ![Adafruit Circuit Playground Express Developer Edition - Base Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61s0tXjXclL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun for learning *by T***R on April 7, 2026* Needed this for a college course. Definitely made coding less terrible lol ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Intro to Coding *by B***M on February 9, 2020* This is such a fun, simple and easy way to get into micro controller programming. Not only is the hardware fantastic there are so many resources available online from Adafruit and others to learn how to program it. Fun for a wide range of ages. I love it (33-year-old adult), but so does my 7-year-old son. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun intro into CircuitPython *by A***Y on January 20, 2023* Adafruit makes some great products and this is one of them. This Circuit Playground is exactly that; a small little introduction that has enough functionality to get you started in coding with CircuitPython but not too much to get you overwhelmed either. Using the Mu Editor as your interface, you can in very little time write code and obtain immediate sensory feedback. You can program LED brightness, color, make different color patterns, led sweeps, interact with 2 micro buttons, play with 1 micro slide switch, pull temperature data, pull brightness data, record temp and brightness data to a log, test out capacitive touch pads, generate some tones/music with flashing lights and if you are adventurous enough make a little Simon Says game that will utilize all the capability of this little board. This is a fun way to practice your own coding skills or get your kids interested in programming technology. ## Frequently Bought Together - Adafruit Circuit Playground Express Developer Edition - Base Kit - Adafruit 3915 Circuit Playground Express Enclosure - Getting Started with Adafruit Circuit Playground Express: The Multipurpose Learning and Development Board with Built-In LEDs, Sensors, and Accelerometer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/59652584-adafruit-circuit-playground-express-developer-edition-base-kit](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/59652584-adafruit-circuit-playground-express-developer-edition-base-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
