So you’ve got a Bluefruit LE device that’s ready to be the next awesome wireless IoT gadget, but how do you actually talk to it from your computer? The Bluefruit LE Python library is just what you need to write code that reads and writes data with a Bluefruit LE device! This Python library allows you to write simple code to talk to a Bluefruit LE UART from a Mac OSX computer or Linux machine, like a Raspberry Pi. This library is great for logging sensor data, controlling your device, and much more through the wireless magic of Bluetooth low energy!
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, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, 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.
