Those are very cool, and I've come this -><- close to ordering one in the past. Perhaps I need to recalibrate my adjectives, but with 256KB+ of flash and 32KB+ of RAM, I wouldn't call them "small" -- even though the Trinket M0 is physically tiny. But that may just be my age showing. I remember not _that_ long ago working on processors where the RAM was measured in hundreds of bytes. And I still maintain code for ARM parts with way less than 1/10 the memory of the Trinket M0. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
