adafruit-circuitpython-circuitplayground

Introduction

This high level library provides objects that represent Circuit Playground Express and Bluefruit hardware.

Installation

For Circuit Playground Express, simply install CircuitPython to use this library - the library itself and all of its dependencies are built into CircuitPython for Circuit Playground Express.

For Circuit Playground Bluefruit, you must install this library and all of its dependencies. Please download the latest Adafruit CircuitPython library bundle. Open the resulting zip file, open the lib folder within, and copy the following folders and files to the lib folder on your CIRCUITPY drive:

adafruit_bus_device/
adafruit_circuitplayground/
adafruit_lis3dh.mpy
adafruit_thermistor.mpy
neopixel.mpy

Usage Example

Using this library is super simple. Simply import the cp variable from the module and then use it.

from adafruit_circuitplayground import cp

while True:
    if cp.button_a:
        print("Temperature:", cp.temperature)
    cp.red_led = cp.button_b
