Adafruit Circuit Playground Express Library

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.

Adafruit circuit playground express library.

Before you can use the circuit playground library with the circuit playground bluefruit you must install the library and the modules it depends on. Sometimes this means one line of code. We recommend updating the library even if you just installed the arduino ide we have constant updates. Circuit playground express has.

Arduino is the third and oldest of the progamming languages supported by circuit playground express. But what s nice is that arduino ide comes with a version of the library and its super easy to update. 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. Then the library manager will open and you will find a list of libraries that are already installed or ready for.

In the arduino ide navigate to sketch include library manage libraries. Not only did we pack even more sensors in we also made it even easier to program. We ve taken the original circuit playground classic and made it even better. You can power it from usb a aaa battery pack or with a lipoly battery for advanced users.

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 is a high level library that provides objects that represent circuitplayground hardware. The circuit playground library is available on the adafruit github website. 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.
