## Description

The Adafruit PyRuler is a PCB reference ruler and a fully functional CircuitPython microcontroller in one. Measuring approximately 25 × 150 mm (1" × 6"), this gold-plated FR4 ruler features common SMD component package outlines, a font size guide, trace-width diagram, and AWG wire gauge drill holes — all the references an electronics engineer needs at a glance. Built into the end of the ruler is a Trinket M0 (ATSAMD21 Cortex-M0+) with four capacitive touch pads and matching LEDs. Out of the box, it ships with CircuitPython and can act as a USB keyboard — touch the pads to type special characters like Ω, µ, and π. Edit the on-board code.py file in any text editor to customise the behaviour.
