On the front, there is a 1.8" 160x128 color TFT display with dimmable backlight. There is fast DMA support for drawing, so updates are incredibly fast. There are also 8 silicone-top buttons: they are clicky but have a soft button top so they're nice and grippy. The buttons are arranged to mimic a gaming handheld, with a d-pad, 2 menu-select buttons and 2 fire-action buttons. There are also 5 NeoPixel LEDs to dazzle or track activity.

On the back, there is a full Feather-compatible header socket set, so you can plug in any FeatherWing to expand the capabilities of the PyBadge. There are also 3 STEMMA connectors - two 3-pin with ADC/PWM capability and one 4-pin that connects to I2C - you can use this for Grove sensors as well.

For built-in sensors, there is a light sensor that points out the front, and a 3-axis accelerometer that can detect taps and free-fall. To make bleeps and bloops, there's a built in buzzer-speaker. For projects where you need more volume, you can plug in an 8 ohm speaker.

You can power the PyBadge from any of Adafruit's LiPoly batteries, but [this 400mAh one](https://www.adafruit.com/category/574) is suggested. An on-off switch will save battery power when not in use. Or power the board from the Micro USB port - it will also charge the battery if one is attached.
