Microphone Compatibility - Feather to Trinket Adafruit

The two boards are obviously different and use different processors - so you may need to use a different pin for the analogue input.

You haven't said what you actually do with the microphone signal  - so it's not possible to tell from here if the the processor differences matter.

I hope you won't mind me asking this - and that everyone at E14 is happy to have you on board - but would no one at RS or Design Spark help ?

If you could use the Trinket (not pro) you can get it from Amazon for even less (£6.79).

Compability wise, yes, you could use almost any board that can read analog signals, but the question is what you are trying to achieve, your project might be dependent on what the mcu can do with that analog reading /how it has to be processed.

if you want t oget something like the amplitude of a noise and move a servo accordingly the trinket is fine, and so would any Arduino or a rpi pico, its more about what you are comfortable working with and what language you like to code in.
I´d advise to google for libraries for whatever module you fancy fist to see if there are any for Arduino /micropython  and usually it tells you if it has requirements for combability.
also the search here on Element14 often yields good results.

in your case it seems it wont matter.

I welcome everyone asking questions here, it just shows that this is a welcoming  community for enthusiast, no matter where you get the parts from, but in case something is not working as expected you´d need to go to the actual source for support.(which might be difficult depending on where you buy)

I am using the Microphone to light up NeoPixels as an output from the Board.

Yup, have fired an email off to RS and hope to have a response in a few days, but thought i would try here, as with them doing so much stuff, im not sure they will have much specific knowledge, but you never know eh.

You're very welcome here !

I'm no expert on Arduino but I think you might well get the Trinket (not the Pro) to do what you want'. Perhaps some one who has used one might be able to chime in and comment.

Many thanks.

I am using the Microphone to light up NeoPixels as an output from the Board.
The larger quantity of sound, the more i light up the pixels. E.g. Turning sound into light.

Adafruit has a project that does that https://learn.adafruit.com/trinket-sound-reactive-led-color-organ/overview - it uses the Trinket.

Fab, brilliant, thank you!

UPDATE:

Having a little bit of an issue now I have tried.
Getting this as an output when using the Feather program on the trinket and no successful outcome:
