That's right, it's the \u003cstrong\u003eAdafruit PyGamer!\u003c\/strong\u003e We wanted to make an entry-level gaming handheld for DIY gaming, and maybe a little retro-emulation. It's not the fastest and best of everything but it is an all-in-one dev board with a lot of possibilities!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PyGamer is powered by our favorite chip, the ATSAMD51, with 512KB of flash and 192KB of RAM. We add 8 MB of QSPI flash for file storage, handy for images, fonts, sounds, or game assets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the front you get a 1.8\" 160x128 color TFT display with dimmable backlight - we have fast DMA support for drawing so updates are incredibly fast. A dual-potentiometer analog stick gives you great control, with easy diagonal movement - or really any direction you like. There's also 4 square-top buttons, which fit our square top button caps. The buttons are arranged to mimic a gaming handheld, with 2 menu-select buttons and 2 fire-action buttons. There's also 5 NeoPixel LEDs to dazzle or track activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the back we have a full Feather-compatible header socket set, so you can plug in any FeatherWing to expand the capabilities of the PyGamer. There's also 3 STEMMA connectors - two 3-pin with ADC\/PWM capability and one 4-pin that connects to I2C - you can use this for Grove sensors as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor built in sensors, there's a light sensor that points out the front, and a 3-axis accelerometer that can detect taps and free-fall. To make bleeps and bloops, plug in any set of stereo headphones. For projects where you need more volume, you can plug in one of our 8 ohm speakers. The PyGamer will auto-switch to headphones when they're plugged in, otherwise play through the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PyGamer can be powered from a\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/smalldevices.com.au\/search?q=lithium+polymer\"\u003e Lithium Polymer battery\u003c\/a\u003e (the acrylic case will take one that is 350mAh or smaller). An on-off switch will save battery power when not in use. Or power from the Micro USB port - it will also charge up the battery if one is attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, how to program it?
