Adafruit Circuit Playground Express Library

Circuit playground library details.

Adafruit circuit playground express library.

But what s nice is that arduino ide comes with a version of the library and its super easy to update. We recommend updating the library even if you just installed the arduino ide we have constant updates. Not only did we pack even more sensors in we also made it even easier to program. In the arduino ide navigate to sketch include library manage libraries.

Arduino has over a decade of projects and history so you ll find a lot of existing code that you can use with your cpx. Before you can use the circuit playground library with the circuit playground bluefruit you must install the library and the modules it depends on. The circuit playground express or cpx and the circuit playground bluefruit or cpb have all kinds of sensors buttons switches and leds built into them to top it off they work with circuitpython normally using circuitpython with a button or sensor requires setup in your code. Sometimes this means one line of code.

Adafruit circuit playground express is a high level library that provides objects that represent circuitplayground hardware. Arduino is the third and oldest of the progamming languages supported by circuit playground express. Arduino is essentially c c with a built in library of hardware interfaces. The board is round and has alligator clip pads around it so you don t have to solder or sew to make it work.

For a detailed explanation of how the circuit playground library functions see the technical side page of the circuitpython made easy on circuit playground express and bluefruit guide. To learn more about all the features of this library check out the circuitpython made easy on circuit playground express and bluefruit guide on the adafruit learn system. Follow the steps found on the installing circuitpython libraries on circuit playground bluefruit section in the circuit playground bluefruit guide to get all the necessary libraries installed. We ve taken the original circuit playground classic and made it even better.

The circuit playground library is available on the adafruit github website.
