Fantastic build, great quality, and fun to boot.

For Keyboard FeatherWing - QWERTY Keyboard + 2.6" LCD

The interoperability of the KFW is what makes it so cool. Since it's "BYOC", the possibilities are literally endless, and I enjoy tinkering with it so much. If I had a wishlist for a "premium version", I'd want it to have a trackball or trackpad instead of the nav switch, a momentary switch instead of toggle for power, as an option.

As it stands, I'm fairly sure I'm going to have to order more of these, because I'm certain I'm going to build something that someone will want to take off my hands.

Absolutely fantastic work.

I love these tiny Serpente boards.

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

I first found the serpente board on Adafruit.com, and bought a few usb-c (male) models there. I wanted the other USB models after that, so I ordered more from Adafruit and also from Tindie. I use them to learn the basics of Python programming with graphics (tiny oled display) and as a Human Interface Devices (HID) that automates Minecraft tasks; like grinding for XP at a mob spawner. Everything worked just as documented. It's a great learning tool for me.

Great

For BB Q10 Keyboard PMOD

Perfect little keyboard for small projects once paired with the Q10 keyboard module, everything works perfectly

Excellent!

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

It's so cute and tiny :)

Looks like this is a great way to get into CircuitPython!
Thank you so much!

Great little board

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

Bought two of these and they have been very nice to work with so far. Quick to setup and get going with. Not the biggest fan of circuit python but that’s not a knock on the board just personal preference and I saw that someone made an arduino core but I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. If the usb-a version comes back in stock I’m definitely buying more.

Great product

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

This little board is great for learning CircuitPython or for tiny USB dongle type projects. I've already thrown together some code to act as a mouse using a joystick or to type a sequence of keys when inserted into a USB port.

Just what I was looking for!

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

I needed a compact MC board that plugs directly into a USB jack - Serpente exactly fits the bill. I'm using it to "trick" a PC into thinking it's getting mouse and keyboard input. My only complaint is that the documentation is a little thin. I wanted to do a little "Hello world" test varying the color of the RGB LEDs, and it took me a while to guess how to access those pins. Thankfully, the Python names matched the schematic names - thank you! If I had looked further down in the reviews I would have seen the example and saved a few minutes.

Micro + CircuitPython + Powerful = Fun!

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

Fast shipment, professional packaging (anti-static bag + air cushion envelope), excellent quality.

What else? Well, let's see how long they live with my solder/tinkering skills before i have to order more... ;)

Great board, amazingly fast shipment

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

The Serpente works great as a quick-to-start CircuitPython board. I got the LED example running in minutes, and continued exploring CircuitPython and the boards capabilities. The shipment was super fast!

Ola | Feb. 26, 2020

Nice small boards. Fun with python.

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

Have only tested the board and circuit python for an hour, but it was easy to get into. Leds are blinking. Repl on a microcontroller is nice for testing.

fantastic serpente

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

Tiny, functional, beautiful. Can't believe I can run python this thing. Thanks for making it available.

Alexander | Jan. 21, 2020

Top quality, fast delivery, very friendly!

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

Got 2 boards to play around with and I'm very happy with them and with the overall process of getting them.
Fast shipment (shipped within ~1 day, delivered in 6 days/4 workdays), professional packaging (each board in it's own anti-static bag, put in an air cushion envelope), clean boards, excellent quality.

Tillo | Jan. 9, 2020

Great board

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

It's a great little board if you want to start with CircuitPython or if your project doesn't need too much IOs but needs to be small.

The exposed IOs are chosen in a super useful way, since all of them can be PWM outputs and analog inputs. Or the usual serial interfaces.

Bjørn | Jan. 6, 2020

Great fun!

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

The Serpente board has a really nice finish regarding all aspects. It's super slim, good looking, and very easy to get started with. I want to use this as the brains for my home automation setup

Very good boards, small and powerful, shipped fast!

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

Was looking for a tiny ATSAMD21 based board with very minimal peripherals, this seemed to fit the bill. Have bought 4 in two batches, all have arrived in excellent condition and fully working.

Got this working with Arduino IDE after making a fairly trivial port of the Adafruit SAMD Trinket M0 board, as I wanted to experiment with the TinyUSB stack that Adafruit uses. I couldn't find where someone had already done this, but was straightforward enough to get working.

Response from Solder Party | Dec. 21, 2019

Thank you for the kind words :) Have you published the Arduino port somewhere, I'm sure many would find it useful. Do you need to flash it with SWD pins or over the uf2 bootloader? Let me know if you need any assistance with the port.

Great product & seller

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

Fast processing and delivery. Great miniature device with lots of potential, and I'm having fun exploring it. Good quality build.
This piece of code may help other noobs like me.

# according to the circuit diagram documentation the inbuilt LEDs have their anodes permanently connected to 3.3v
# therefore to turn them "ON" you need to sink the cathodes and complete the circuit
# led.value = True keeps / turns the LED OFF
# led.value = False sinks the current and turns the LED ON

import board
import digitalio
import time

red = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.LED_R)
red.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT

green = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.LED_G)
green.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT

blue = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.LED_B)
blue.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT

red.value = True # these 3 instructions are required
green.value = True # otherwise the first iteration
blue.value = True # shows a mix of colours

while True:
print("Red")
red.value = False # actually turns the LED ON
time.sleep(2)
red.value = True # actually turns the LED OFF
time.sleep(2)

print("Green")
green.value = False
time.sleep(2)
green.value = True
time.sleep(2)

print("Blue")
blue.value = False
time.sleep(2)
blue.value = True
time.sleep(2)

Good Job ;)

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

Very interesting design, great possibilities and simplicity of use with such a small size. Thank you for fast shipping ;)

Perfect little CircuitPython controller!

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

This is a great little controller! Packed with tons of stuff in a tiny package, it was really easy to get up and running. It's powered by CircuitPython, and has a generous 4MB flash. Just plug it in, save a file to the drive, and your code runs!

My father in law was in town with a project, within a few minutes we had his sensor sending in data and graphing in the mu editor! I was surprised with how easy it was. Even with 6 IO, he'll have more than enough to run a I2C display and read sensor data.

The design and build quality is excellent. Arturo has done an outstanding job here!

Fast delivery

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

I got the product amazingly fast. The board seems to be good quality, though i haven't had much time to play with it yet.

A tiny CircuitPython based board the size of an ATTiny85

For Serpente - A Tiny CircuitPython Prototyping Board

I have been a fan of the ATTiny85 for a couple of years, and in the past 18 months I have started to dip my toe with CircuitPython. So when I found a board that offered the layout and size of the ATTiny85 merged with the ease of use that CircuitPython brings, then I just had to buy a couple for testing.
A great board that is cost effective for projects where you just want to get the project working with the minimal of fuss.
