Expansion Board Usage

Connection

Put the Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 on the expansion board, the Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 green LED should light up.

note

Please plug the Seeed Studio XIAO on the expansion board first, then plug Type-C, Remember pluing Seeed Studio XIAO into the middle of the two female header connectors, otherwise you will damage the Seeed Studio XIAO and the expansion board.

Battery usage

The Seeed Studio Expansion Base for XIAO can be powered by a battery, so if you do some demo that needs to be moved, that battery will help you to solve the power supply issue. when you plug the battery please watch out for the positive and negative anodes, follow the picture to connect the battery in case of damage the board.

In addition, the board charged the battery when you plug the battery cable and the type-C cable and switch the button to on.

As the below picture, if the LED flashing which means the battery does not charge or the board does not connect battery if the LED keeps light on which is mean the battery is charging.

Modules on the expansion board

Rich peripherals on board including:

  • OLED display: Visual data display without connecting to PC, which enables debug in a more efficient way, and builds application such as a sensor hub, data monitor system, etc.

  • RESET button: No more jumper wire and short circuit, easy reset with just one click.

  • SWD debug: SWD pin led out as male pin header, making debugger connection and firmware download much easier.

  • High precision RTC: High precision real-time clock with battery backup, enable maintain accurate time when the main power is turned off.

  • Expandable memory: With a MicroSD card slot on the back, no worry on memory limit any more when adding libraries and using circuit python.

  • User button: Besides the RESET button, also provide with another user-defined button.

  • Passive buzzer: Same passive buzzer on Wio Terminal, with which you could change the PMW frequency to award different beep sound to get a "buzzer music".

  • Grove connectors: All pin led out, plug and play grove connectors support common data protocols (Grove IIC2, Grove UART1, A0/D0 Grove*1)

  • Lipo Battery Charging: JST2.0mm standard lipo battery connector and battery management system, supports both USB and lipo battery power supply, and easy onboard battery recharge.

  • 5V servo connector: 5V output led out to male header for 5V servo and sensor connection.

Circuitpython on Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 with expansion board

This wiki introduce how to install and run the official CircuitPython by Adafruit Industries on the Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 development board !

CircuitPython is a programming language designed to simplify experimenting and learning to program on low-cost microcontroller boards. It makes getting started easier than ever with no upfront desktop downloads needed. Once you get your board set up, open any text editor, and get started editing code. For more info, please refer to here.

Installing CircuitPython

Step 1. Install the Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 on the Expansion board then conect the Type-C cable.

Step 2. Download the official CircuitPython Bootloader for Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 . A .uf2 , the flie will be store in your PC download.

Step 3. Entering the DFU bootloader mode by press the reset button twice quickly on the Seeed Studio Expansion Base for XIAO, then your PC will appear Arduino drive.

Step 4. An external drive named Arduino should appear in your PC. Drag the downloaded CircuitPython uf2 files to the Arduino drive.

Step 5. Once loaded the CircuitPython bootloader, unplug the USB Type-C and re-connect. A new external drive called CIRCUITPY should be appear.

Step 6. Now, CircuitPython is loaded on Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 ! All you need to do it's to write you python program and name it main.py and drag it onto the CIRCUITPY drive.

There is a simple example introduce how to use the CirsuitPython on the Seeed Studio XIAO .

Step 1 Create a txt file name main on the CIRCUITPY drive.


note

The main name is one of these: code.txt, code.py, main.py, main.txt, there is more detail about this behavior.

Step 2 Paste the code on the main file then save it, you will see the orange LED blinking on the Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 board.

Code

import time
import board
from digitalio import DigitalInOut, Direction

led = DigitalInOut(board.D13)
led.direction = Direction.OUTPUT

while True:
led.value = True
time.sleep(1)
led.value = False
time.sleep(1)

MicroSD card for circuitpython

The Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 build-in about 40 KB flash, but it may have not enough space to store the large size python code file, fortunately, Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 Expansion board built-in an MicroSD card slot for extending the store space, so you can follow this instruction to learn how to run the circuitpython on the MicroSD card.

note

The MicroSD card system format is FAT or exFAT. If you use other MicroSD card system format that will cause the MicroSD card can not be recognized.

Step 1. Prepare a micro SD Card to plug in the Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 expansion board.

Step 2. Assume you do not download the circuitPython file yet, please refer to Installing CircuitPython chapter.

Step 3. Download lib unzips the file, then replace it with the new lib in the CIRCUITPY.

Step 4. Download the main.py file in the CIRCUITPY drive.

The main.py code

import sd
f = open("/sd/hello.txt", "r") ## read the file from SD card
print(f.read())

Step 5. Download the sd.py file in the CIRCUITPY drive.

The sd.py code

import os
import adafruit_sdcard
import board
import busio
import digitalio
import storage
import sys

# Connect to the card and mount the filesystem for Seeed Studio XIAO .
spi = busio.SPI(board.SCK, board.MOSI, board.MISO)
cs = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D2)
sdcard = adafruit_sdcard.SDCard(spi, cs)
vfs = storage.VfsFat(sdcard)
storage.mount(vfs, "/sd")
sys.path.append("/sd")
sys.path.append("/sd/lib") ## switch to the path to SD card

Buzzer Example

This example for test the buzzer via the run the buzzer.py in the MicroSD card.

Step 1. You can just paste buzzer.py in the MicroSD card.

Step 2. Open main.py in the CIRCUITPY drive.

Step 3. Add import buzzer in the main.py file.

When you finish all the step, the buzzer will work. If you to run other python files in the MicroSD card, please imitate the example.

note

If you want back to Arduino mode, you just need to upload any programme on the Arduino IDE.

Project 4 - Seeed Studio Expansion Base for XIAO - mjolnir

Overview

This hammer is simulated Mjolnir, you need you to record your fingerprint on this device then you will become its master. The hammer needs a magnet to adsorb on the grove - electromagnet until its master to unlock via fingerprint, the hammer can take away.

Component required

Hardware Connection

Please follow the same color line to connect each sensor on the board. Please connect the IR sensor grove cable to D0, Mini Motor Driver grove cable to I2C.

Arduino Instructions

Step 1. Follow the connection picture connect all the sensor on the board.

Step 2. Download the Aruidno IDE

Step 3. Install the u8g2 and Seeed_Arduino_KCT202 library, this is the guide how to install the library.

Step 4. Copy the code stick on the Aruino IDE then upload it.

Project 6 - Seeed Studio Expansion Base for XIAO - Heart Rate

Overview

This simple and inexpensive project is based on the Seeed Studio Expansion Base for XIAO to report the heart rate. The device used has an I2C two-wire interface and therefore keeps the wiring down to a minimum.

Component required

Hardware Connection

Please follow the same color line to connect each sensor on the board. Please connect the IR sensor grove cable to D0, Mini Motor Driver grove cable to I2C.

Arduino Instructions

Step 1. Follow the connection picture connect all the sensor on the board.

Step 2. Download the Aruidno IDE

Step 3. Install the u8g2 library, this is the guide how to install the library.

Step 4. Copy the code stick on the Aruino IDE then upload it.
