CircuitPython
CircuitPython is a
beginner friendly, open source version of Python for tiny, inexpensive
computers called microcontrollers. Microcontrollers are the brains of many electronics including a
wide variety of development boards used to build hobby projects and prototypes. CircuitPython in
electronics is one of the best ways to learn to code because it connects code to reality. Simply
install CircuitPython on a supported board via drag and drop and then edit a
code.py file on
the CIRCUITPY drive. The code will automatically reload. No software installs are needed besides a
text editor (we recommend Mu for beginners.)
CircuitPython features unified Python core APIs and a growing list of 150+ device libraries and
