Adafruit nRF52840 Feather Express Add-On Board

Adafruit nRF52840 Feather Express Add-On Board is a BLUETOOTH® Low Energy and native USB support device featuring the nRF52840. The board is an all-in-one Arduino-compatible + BLUETOOTH Low Energy with built-in USB plus battery charging. Native USB means it's ready to join the CircuitPython party. This chip has twice the Flash and four times the SRAM of the nRF52832 (1MB of Flash and 256KB of SRAM). Compared to the nRF51, this board has four to eight times more of everything.
