A 48Mhz processor is 6x faster than the original Trinket, it has 32x the storage with 256kb, and all 5 GPIO pins are fully usable by the user without interfering with the USB communications. The specs on the Trinket M0, however, will leave a smile on your face. The 8-bit, 8Mhz MCU with only 3 usable pins could at times though feel quite anemic. The original Trinket was a really great product for those that wanted a very minimal board to just run simple tasks while not taking up too much space or sucking too many dollars from your wallet. This minuscule board keeps the original Trinket’s form factor but adds quite the punch into the original’s space and cost. Nowhere has this increase in power been more dramatic than with the Trinket M0. Most of these boards are similar to their predecessors, but with the upgraded computing power and extra features needed to support running an interpreted programming language on a small development board. While these boards still interact with the Arduino ecosystem that we all love (or don’t), they shine while running the custom built python distribution that they were designed for. We have already covered a good number of Adafruit’s line of boards designed to support their new CircuitPython system.
