It works as both a standalone dev board and an I2C peripheral that adds GPIO, ADC, PWM, and NeoPixel support to any I2C-capable host.\n\nPre-programmed with seesaw firmware, this board acts as an I2C-controlled co-processor — handling timing-sensitive tasks that many microcontrollers and single-board computers struggle with. It can also be reprogrammed as a general-purpose ATtiny1616 development board using the megaTinyCore Arduino core.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nATtiny1616 Microcontroller – 16KB flash, 2KB RAM, 256 bytes EEPROM, internal oscillator up to 20 MHz, hardware multiplier\n\nSeesaw I2C Framework – Universal converter providing GPIO, ADC, PWM, and NeoPixel control over I2C\n\n12× GPIO – Pins 0–5, 6, 8, 11, 14, 15, 16 with selectable pullup resistors\n\n9× 10-bit ADC Inputs – Pins 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16\n\n5× 8-bit PWM Outputs – Pins 0, 1, 7, 11, 16\n\nNeoPixel Output – Drive up to 250 NeoPixel LEDs from a single pin\n\n127-byte EEPROM – Non-volatile memory for tokens or MAC addresses (last byte used for I2C address)\n\nInterrupt Output – Pin 6, triggered by any configured peripheral\n\n2× I2C Address Selection Pins – Pins 12 and 13 for running multiple boards on one bus\n\n2× STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connectors – Plug-and-play I2C with 10K pullup resistors\n\n3.3V Regulator – Runs at Vin by default (up to 5V); solder jumper to select 3.3V logic\n\n2V to 5V Operation – Wide voltage range for flexible integration\n\nPower and Activity LEDs – Green power LED, red indicator LED on pin 10\n\n\nAlso Available\n\n\nATSAMD09 Seesaw Breakout – Original seesaw breakout with ARM Cortex-M0+ (requires J-Link for reprogramming)\n\nATtiny816 Seesaw Breakout with STEMMA QT – Lower-cost variant with 8KB flash, 512B RAM, up to 60 NeoPixels\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nAdding extra I/O to Raspberry Pi, ESP32, or Arduino projects via I2C\nNeoPixel control from I2C-only platforms\nATtiny1616 development and prototyping\nSeesaw firmware customisation and testing\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit ATtiny1616 Breakout with seesaw\n1× Header strip set\n\n\n\nNote: This board does not include a bootloader. To reprogramme or customise the seesaw firmware, you will need a UPDI programmer (which can be made from a USB-to-serial cable and a single 4.7K or 10K resistor). The firmware is compiled using megaTinyCore. No support is provided for custom seesaw builds.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":1750,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-5690","price":10.43,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":86,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
