Brief Introduction to CircuitPython
CircuitPython uses Python to program hardware on low cost microcontrollers. The CircuitPython ecosystem is designed to be a beginner friendly programming language. Adafruit has a large number of tutorials and examples to get started and allow easy experimentation. CircuitPython is open source and is maintained by Adafruit Industries in New York City.
This demonstration will show a beginner development board and how the CircuitPython ecosystem works. It will show how the source code is edited, how the code is saved and restarted, how libraries are used, and how the REPL console is used for interactive output. Online resources and tutorials will be shown to help anyone get started with CircuitPython.
James O’Dell is an Industrial Robot Programmer in the automotive industry. James is a CircuitPython enthusiast who has way too many different development boards. James teaches CircuitPython workshop at i3Detroit Makerspace.
