Overview
Feather is the new development board from Adafruit, and like it's namesake it is thin,
light, and lets you fly! We designed Feather to be a new standard for portable
microcontroller cores.
This is the Adafruit Feather 32u4 Adalogger - our take on an 'all-in-one' datalogger (or
data-reader) with built in USB and battery charging. Its an Adafruit Feather 32u4 with
a microSD holderready to rock!
At the Feather 32u4's heart is at ATmega32u4 clocked at 8 MHz and at 3.3V logic, a
chip setup we've had tons of experience with as it's the same as the Flora(https://
adafru.it/dVl). This chip has 32K of flash and 2K of RAM, with built in USB so not only
does it have a USB-to-Serial program & debug capability built in with no need for an
FTDI-like chip, it can also act like a mouse, keyboard, USB MIDI device, etc.

To make it easy to use for portable projects, we added a connector for any of our 3.7V
Lithium polymer batteries and built in battery charging. You don't need a battery, it will
run just fine straight from the micro USB connector. But, if you do have a battery, you
can take it on the go, then plug in the USB to recharge. The Feather will automatically
switch over to USB power when its available. We also tied the battery thru a divider to
an analog pin, so you can measure and monitor the battery voltage to detect when
you need a recharge.

Here's some handy specs! Like all Feather 32u4's you get:
Measures 2.0" x 0.9" x 0.28" (51mm x 23mm x 8mm) without headers soldered in
Light as a (large?) feather - 5.1 grams
ATmega32u4 @ 8MHz with 3.3V logic/power
3.3V regulator with 500mA peak current output
USB native support, comes with USB bootloader and serial port debugging
You also get tons of pins - 20 GPIO pins
Hardware Serial, hardware I2C, hardware SPI support
7 x PWM pins
10 x analog inputs
Built in 100mA lipoly charger with charging status indicator LED
Pin #13 red LED for general purpose blinking
Power/enable pin
4 mounting holes
Reset button
The Feather 32u4 Adalogger uses the extra space left over to add MicroSD + a green
LED:
Pin #8 green LED for your blinking pleasure
MicroSD card holder for adding as much storage as you could possibly want, for
reading or writing.

Comes fully assembled and tested, with a USB bootloader that lets you quickly use it
with the Arduino IDE. We also toss in some header so you can solder it in and plug
into a solderless breadboard. Lipoly battery, MicroSD card and USB cable not
included (but we do have lots of options in the shop if you'd like!)
Check out our tutorial for all sorts of details, including schematics, files, IDE
instructions, and more!
Pinouts

Power Pins
GND - this is the common ground for all power and logic
BAT - this is the positive voltage to/from the JST jack for the optional Lipoly
battery
USB - this is the positive voltage to/from the micro USB jack if connected
EN - this is the 3.3V regulator's enable pin. It's pulled up, so connect to ground
to disable the 3.3V regulator
3V - this is the output from the 3.3V regulator, it can supply 500mA peak
Logic pins
This is the general purpose I/O pin set for the microcontroller. All logic is 3.3V
#0 / RX - GPIO #0, also receive (input) pin for Serial1 and Interrupt #2
#1 / TX - GPIO #1, also transmit (output) pin for Serial1 and Interrupt #3

#2 / SDA- GPIO #2, also the I2C (Wire) data pin. There's no pull up on this pin
by default so when using with I2C, you may need a 2.2K-10K pullup. Also
Interrupt #1
#3 / SCL - GPIO #3, also the I2C (Wire) clock pin. There's no pull up on this pin
by default so when using with I2C, you may need a 2.2K-10K pullup. Can also do
PWM output and act as Interrupt #0.
#5 - GPIO #5, can also do PWM output
#6 - GPIO #6, can also do PWM output and analog input A7
#9 - GPIO #9, also analog input A9and can do PWM output. This analog input is
connected to a voltage divider for the lipoly battery so be aware that this pin
naturally 'sits' at around 2VDC due to the resistor divider
#10 - GPIO #10, also analog input A10 and can do PWM output.
#11 - GPIO #11, can do PWM output.
#12 - GPIO #12, also analog input A11
#13 - GPIO #13, can do PWM output and is connected to the red LED next to the
USB jack
A0 thru A5 - These are each analog input as well as digital I/O pins.
SCK/MOSI/MISO - These are the hardware SPI pins, used by the microSD card
too! You can use them as everyday GPIO pins if the SD card is not inserted.
However, we really recommend keeping them free as they should be kept
available for the SD. If they are used, make sure its with a device that will kindly
share the SPI bus! Also used to reprogram the chip with an AVR programmer if
you need.
Micro SD Card + Green LED
Since not all pins can be brought out to breakouts, due to the small size of the
Feather, we use these to control the SD card!
#4 - used as the MicroSD card CS (chip select) pin

#7 - used as the MicroSD card CD (card detect) pin. If you want to detect when a
card is inserted/removed, configure this pin as an input with a pullup. When the
pin reads low (0V) then there is no card inserted. When the pin reads high, then
a card is in place. It will not tell you if the card is valid, its just a mechanical
switch
#8 - This pin was also left over, so we tied it to a green LED, its next to the SD
card. It might be handy to blink this LED when writing / reading valid data or
some other user-alert!
Other Pins!
RST - this is the Reset pin, tie to ground to manually reset the AVR, as well as
launch the bootloader manually
ARef - the analog reference pin. Normally the reference voltage is the same as
the chip logic voltage (3.3V) but if you need an alternative analog reference,
connect it to this pin and select the external AREF in your firmware. Can't go
higher than 3.3V!
Assembly
We ship Feathers fully tested but without headers attached - this gives you the most
flexibility on choosing how to use and configure your Feather
Header Options!
Before you go gung-ho on soldering, there's a few options to consider!

The first option is soldering in plain male
headers, this lets you plug in the Feather
into a solderless breadboard
Another option is to go with socket
female headers. This won't let you plug
the Feather into a breadboard but it will
let you attach featherwings very easily
