Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

  1. Wow, this UI looks so much like solidworks (are they “related” in any “Company-wise” way?)

  2. This looks a lot like a stripped down version of Alibre Design 2012. I don’t see a lot of my favorite features so I’d still go for the $200 ADPE myself.

  3. @Diego: all parametric CAD programs look like SolidWorks — you can’t patent look-and-feel.

  4. ” you can’t patent look-and-feel.”

    Unless your Apple…

    Anyway, I agree with you… Most of them look very similar, its just the way they work that seperates them from each other.

  5. Apple has lost it’s share of look and feel cases. When they ‘win’ it’s only through attrition.

    Most of these packages work the same way too, except for Pro/Engineer (aka Creo), which is like mirror-universe SolidWorks.

  6. I for one am glad to see the windows market finally getting a CAD program. I’m glad this company has the courage to fill such a small niche!
