Getting Started

Develop applications using the Arduino IDE or Arduino Cloud by installing the Arduino SAMD Boards core. Connect via the micro-USB port for programming and power, or utilize the 3.7V Li-Po connector for mobile operation. Ensure all logic levels are 3.3V, as the I/O pins are not 5V tolerant.

Also Consider

Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 (with Headers) Arduino - Select this variant if you require pre-soldered headers for use with breadboards or MKR shields.
ESP32-DevKitC-32E Espressif Systems - Provides higher clock speeds and dual-core processing if the SAMD21 performance is insufficient for the application.
