Welcome!

Maple is a user-friendly prototyping platform developed by LeafLabs in Cambridge, MA.  Using Maple, creators with any level of experience can implement beautiful ideas that require the power of a 32-bit processor.

Based on a ARM Cortex M3 (STFM32F103RB) chip, Maple runs at up to 72 MHz and has 39 digital input/out pins, 16 analog inputs, native full speed USB, 3 USARTs, integrated SPI/I2C support, and is Arduino compatible.
