Arduino Code

The Arduino code presented below works equally well on all versions of GEMMA: v2 and M0. But if you have an M0 board, consider using the CircuitPython code on the next page of this guide, no Arduino IDE required!

Grab the modified "Button" example sketch below and load it onto GEMMA:

From the Tools→Board menu, select the device you are using:

Adafruit Gemma M0
Adafruit Gemma 8 MHz

Connect the USB cable between the computer and your device. The original Gemma (8 MHz) need the reset button pressed on the board, then click the upload button (right arrow icon) in the Arduino IDE. You do not need to press the reset on the newer Gemma M0.
