circuitpython

CircuitPython is Adafruit's branch of MicroPython designed to simplify experimentation and education on low-cost microcontrollers. It makes it easier than ever to get prototyping by requiring no upfront desktop software downloads.

With CircuitPython you can write clean and simple Python code to control hardware instead of having to use complex low-level languages like C or C++ (what Arduino uses for programming). It's great for beginners!

We have a wide range of CircuitPython compatible boards, from the mini Trinket to the all-in-one Circuit Playground Express. There's also plenty of sensors, components, and add-ons that you can use immediately.
