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.
Adafruit circuit playground express library.
The circuit playground library is available on the adafruit github website.
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.
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.
We recommend updating the library even if you just installed the arduino ide we have constant updates.
But what s nice is that arduino ide comes with a version of the library and its super easy to update.
Arduino is essentially c c with a built in library of hardware interfaces.
Then the library manager will open and you will find a list of libraries that are already installed or ready for.
You can power it from usb a aaa battery pack or with a lipoly battery for advanced users.
Not only did we pack even more sensors in we also made it even easier to program.
The board is round and has alligator clip pads around it so you don t have to solder or sew to make it work.
Sometimes this means one line of code.
