## Description

Commander is a multipurpose handheld device which could be used as a USB keyboard, keystroke replay, reacting to gestures, serial communication, etc.

- 4 User Buttons.
- 9 LED (Red and Amber for each button, and Blue in the centre).
- ADXL345 Accelerometer.
- Micro SD socket.
- Preloaded with UF2 (USB Mass Storage Bootloader) and CircuitPython.
- USB Connector for power and data.
- Unpopulated Serial UART (3.3v) header.
- Reset Button.
- Atmel SAMD21G18A based with native USB
- PCB is fully soldered/assembled, just add a USB cable.

It was created as I wanted a handheld board I could use to "type" lines of keystrokes from a script read from the SD card. If you want to do similar you can create your own by building on the examples in the linked documentation.

It's designed to be held in either hand and can be programmed using CircuitPython to react to input from buttons and/or the accelerometer.
