• Memory has increased by 700% from 16KB to128KB RAM and 256KB to 512KB flash which gives the device much more capability.
• The CPU can upgrad from a Cortex m0 at 16MHz to a Cortex m4 with a floating-point at 64MHz.
• The golden edge connectors have small indentations that allow much easier prototyping with crocodile clips that won’t keep falling off.
• The board can now provide 200mA to accessories, up from 90mA in the previous board version.
• the touch sensor to accompany the existing two buttons.
• working with machine learning and AI.
