Processor for Pixy Robot

Hello everyone!
I am looking to make this project as a beginner:

I’m reading that the Leonardo used could be replaced with a newer processor.

Do you have any recommendations for a processor that will fit the zumo robot tracks?

Best Wishes
Meg

Hi Meg, Welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

Looking at that tutorial it seems like it’s designed for the Leonardo, so changing processors may get you more processing power, but you would need to double-check that both processors have the same pinout.
Sometimes different Arduino boards will use different pin numbers and need to be wired up differently.
We sell the official Arduino Leonardo here: https://core-electronics.com.au/arduino-leonardo.html
And a 3rd part manufactured compatible board here: https://core-electronics.com.au/leonardo-arduino-compatible.html

My colleague @Liam has recommended this board has a much faster processor and is quite similar, but compatibility would need to be double checked. https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-metro-m0-express-designed-for-circuitpython-atsamd21g18.html
