Hardware

Platform Atmel AVR: Atmel AVR 8-bit MCUs deliver a unique combination of performance, power efficiency and design flexibility. Optimized to speed time to market-and easily adapt to new ones-they are based on the industry’s most code-efficient architecture for C and assembly programming

Microcontroller	ATMEGA32U4
Frequency	8MHz
Flash	28KB
RAM	2.50KB
Vendor	Adafruit

Configuration

Please use circuitplay_classic ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:circuitplay_classic]
platform = atmelavr
board = circuitplay_classic

You can override default Adafruit Circuit Playground Classic settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest circuitplay_classic.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:circuitplay_classic]
platform = atmelavr
board = circuitplay_classic

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = atmega32u4

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 8000000L

Debugging

PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

Adafruit Circuit Playground Classic has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.

Compatible Tools	On-board	Default
simavr	Yes	Yes

Frameworks

Name	Description
Arduino	Arduino Wiring-based Framework allows writing cross-platform software to control devices attached to a wide range of Arduino boards to create all kinds of creative coding, interactive objects, spaces or physical experiences.
