SAMD21's keep getting smaller. Now out the Seeede Studio XIAO, it may be slightly smaller than the Itaca uChip, both small and cute. If you're tired of needing to install nearly a Gigabyte of stuff to program these. Maybe it's time to try BASIC, it's a free download.
Our BASIC installs quickly with around 30 MB of installation software, most being documentation.
