Support for Feather M4 Express #768

Closed Jwyatt0911 closed 5 months ago

Jwyatt0911 commented 6 months ago

Arduino IDE and Visual Studio Code both fail to detect my Feather M4 Express with a Feather JoyWing. Already tried updating, so I assume my board isn't supported. No matching boards show up in the Arduino IDE either. Upon running, I was told to create a new issue. image

You are correct in that board not being supported by Blinka, nor are there plans to add it. Blinka mostly runs on linux boards, and in some cases on top of MicroPython, and in other cases through a special proxy firmware (Adafruit RP2040 boards only).

It sounds like you may want CircuitPython though. Here's a guide for getting started with installing it: https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/installing-circuitpython
