Adafruit PyBadge is a gaming handheld launched in 2019. Powered by ATSAMD51J19 (1-core, 120 MHz), 192 KB RAM. Features a 1.8" TFT display (160 x 128). Runs CircuitPython / MakeCode Arcade.
At its heart is the ATSAMD51J19 microcontroller, a single-core Cortex-M4F chip running at 120 MHz. It is paired with 192 KB of RAM and 2 MB of storage. These are microcontroller-class resources, well suited to lightweight 2D arcade-style games, interactive sketches and coding projects. They are not intended for running classic console game libraries.
The 1.8-inch TFT screen has a resolution of 160 x 128. It is a small display, but it suits pixel art, simple sprites and MakeCode Arcade games designed specifically for screens of this size.
The body measures just 84 x 55 x 10 mm, so the PyBadge is slim and easy to carry in a pocket. Two face buttons provide a simple control scheme that is quick to learn. A single mono speaker delivers sound effects and game music.
Software is where the PyBadge shines. With CircuitPython, Python code can be edited directly on the device, while MakeCode Arcade offers a friendly game-creation environment that is ideal for first steps in programming. This makes the console both a learning tool and a creative toy.
Ideal for: students and beginners who want to learn programming through games, electronics hobbyists and makers, and anyone who wants to build their own 2D games on a pocket device rather than emulate classic consoles.
