Portable BLE Development Made Easy with the Feather M0 Bluefruit LE
The Adafruit Feather M0 Bluefruit LE combines a powerful ATSAMD21G18 ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller with built-in Bluetooth Low Energy for compact, battery-friendly wireless projects. It is part of Adafruit’s Feather ecosystem, giving you a thin, lightweight board that is easy to power from USB or a 3.7V LiPo battery.
If you want a development board that can talk directly to modern smartphones and tablets, this is a great option. The onboard Bluefruit LE module lets you build wireless controllers, sensor dashboards, BLE data links, mobile-connected gadgets, wearables, and portable IoT-style prototypes without needing a separate Bluetooth add-on board.
Why you’ll love it
- All-in-one wireless board: Microcontroller plus Bluetooth Low Energy on a single compact Feather board
- Powerful ATSAMD21G18: 32-bit ARM Cortex M0 running at 48MHz for faster and more capable projects
- BLE support for phones and tablets: Great for iOS and Android connected builds
- Battery-ready design: Built-in 100mA LiPo charger for portable projects
- USB native support: Easy programming and serial debugging over micro USB
- Feather ecosystem compatible: Works nicely with FeatherWings and other Feather accessories
What you can build
This board is ideal for BLE sensor nodes, smartphone-controlled LEDs, portable data loggers, wireless wearables, custom remotes, HID-style projects, battery-powered prototypes, and interactive builds that need a compact microcontroller with Bluetooth Low Energy.
Starter bundles
Pair it with a 3.7V LiPo battery, micro USB cable, header pins, and a breadboard for easy development. You can also expand it with compatible FeatherWing add-ons for displays, sensors, motor control, and more.
Recommended add-ons
Add an OLED display, NeoPixel LEDs, sensors, or a FeatherWing module to create a more complete wireless project. A LiPo battery is highly recommended if you want to take advantage of the board’s portable design.
