FigPi
by Benjamin Shockley
Fig Pi is a minifigure-sized development board based on the Raspberry Pi Foundation RP2040 Dual Cortex®-M0+ MCU running at 133Mhz with 16 I/O, one built-in LED around back, a 3x3 matrix of RGB LEDs, built-in Button, and an extra 2MB of memory. Additionally, the Fig Pi has STEMMA QT/Qwiic 4-pin JST SH connectors on the back that support two I2C ST QT/ QW connectors, an SPI connector, ADC connector, Digital connector, and a battery connector (2-pin JST SH).

Absolute Newest
Every time we commit new code to CircuitPython we automatically build binaries for each board and language. The binaries are stored on Amazon S3, organized by board, and then by language. These releases are even newer than the development release listed above. Try them if you want the absolute latest and are feeling daring or want to see if a problem has been fixed.
Previous Versions of CircuitPython
All previous releases of CircuitPython are available for download from Amazon S3 through the button below. For very old releases, look in the OLD/ folder for each board. Release notes for each release are available at GitHub button below.
Older releases are useful for testing if you something appears to be broken in a newer release but used to work, or if you have older code that depends on features only available in an older release. Otherwise we recommend using the latest stable release.
