Feather Sense – All-in-One Sensor Development Platform
The compact Adafruit Cortex®-M4 board is packed with sensors and ready for wireless prototyping
The Adafruit Feather Sense is a multifunctional development board based on the Nordic nRF52840 SoC, featuring an Arm® Cortex-M4F processor and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support. Designed in the Feather form factor, it features a full suite of integrated sensors, making it ideal for rapid prototyping across various applications that require motion detection, environmental sensing, and wireless connectivity.
In addition to the BLE-capable nRF52840 (1 MB Flash, 256 KB RAM), the board features built-in sensors including a 9-DoF IMU (LSM6DS33 + LIS3MDL), temperature/humidity sensor (SI7021), barometric pressure sensor (LPS22), proximity/light/color sensor (APDS9960), and a microphone (MP34DT05). The onboard LiPo battery charging circuit, STEMMA QT connector, and support for CircuitPython, Arduino, or Mbed make it versatile for both quick testing and full application development.
