You love Python and CircuitPython but you need to do something special and it must be FAST! What do you do?
You turn to some C++ code to interface with CircuitPython. This guide shows you the framework you can use to extend CircuitPython with super-fast C++. It will save you lots of time and head scratching getting the most out of your hardware.
The Adafruit Learning System has nearly 1,600 free guides to help you with nearly any project. Browse the list.
Are you programming in CircuitPython or MicroPython? Have you subscribed to the weekly Python on microcontrollers newsletter? Mo?? Check things out here.
Let us know what you’re building in the comments below.
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.
