Flip&Click SAM3X is a two-sided development board with a split personality. It can be used as a 32-bit Arduino Due powered by ARM Cortex™-M3 AT91SAM3X8E microcontroller, but it can also run Python. In either case, it’s a beginner-friendly rapid prototyping tool expandable with up to four click boards (out of hundreds available).

Flip&Click SAM3X - MikroElektronika Two-Sided Development Board
Flip&Click SAM3X is Arduino's close cousin. It shares a lot of Arduino DNA - the 32-bit MCU, the pinout, the compatibility with Arduino IDE – but when you flip it over, you get four mikroBUS™ sockets for click boards.
Using Flip&Click SAM3X with Arduino IDE
- 1) Plug in Flip&Click SAM3X (use the USB port next to the power socket).
- 2) Launch Arduino IDE (Flip&Click SAM3X is recognized as Arduino Due)
- 3) Start writing Arduino sketches.
Using Flip&Click SAM3X with Python
- 1) Start Zerynth Studio
- 2) Plug in Flip&Click SAM3X
- 3) Select MikroElektronika Flip & click from available boards
- 4) Click install virtual machine
- 5) Start writing Python scripts.
