Another small release for new boards! This has one fix for the ItsyBitsy M0 and pIRkey upcoming boards. Other boards don’t actually need to be updated.
Installation
To install follow the instructions in our new Welcome to CircuitPython! guide. To install the latest libraries, see this page in that guide.
Try the latest version of the Mu editor for creating and editing your CircuitPython programs and for easy access to the CircuitPython serial connection (the REPL).
All builds except ESP8266 are available as both UF2 and bin files here along with test builds.
Changes since 2.2.1
@ladyada added one fix for the upcoming ItsyBitsy M0 Express.
Thank you to all who used, tested, contributed helped out, and participated on GitHub and/or discord: @ladyada, @dhalbert, and surely more we have missed. Join us on the Discord chat to collaborate.
Note: 2.2.2 was incorrectly tagged so we’ve moved onto 2.2.3! Yay free numbers!

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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
