Adafruit PyPortal Pynt - CircuitPython Powered Internet Display

The Adafruit PyPortal Pynt is a compact version of the popular PyPortal, shrunk from a 3.2" display down to a 2.4" diagonal screen. It's the same IoT-ready platform in a smaller package — pull data from web APIs, build custom touch screen interfaces, and display live information over Wi-Fi, all programmed in CircuitPython or Arduino.

Under the hood, the ATSAMD51J20 (ARM Cortex-M4 at 120 MHz) handles the user interface and native USB, while an ESP32 co-processor manages Wi-Fi with built-in TLS/SSL. The same wiring and pin layout as the original PyPortal means all existing Arduino and CircuitPython code runs without modification — just on a smaller screen.
