More CircuitPython with the SparkFun LumiDrive @sparkfun @circuitpython
SparkFun has another post up using CircuitPython with the LumiDrive, Rob writes –
Last week, we started poking at SparkFun’s new LumiDrive LED Driver and played a little with the available digital pins broken out on the board. This week, we’ll take a look at the analog pins, play with them as inputs, and see if we can put something together using both digital and analog pins.
If you didn’t catch its release, let me introduce you to the SparkFun LuMini LED Driver. This board boasts a SAMD21G-AU microcontroller, to allow you to run Python, micropython, circuitpython, etc.
SparkFun – SparkFun Pro nRF52840 Mini – Bluetooth Development Board, SparkFun SAMD21 Mini Breakout, SparkFun SAMD21 Dev Breakout. Sparkfun LumiDrive LED Driver, and SparkFun RedBoard Turbo – SAMD21 Development Board, support CircuitPython but are not in releases until pull request is received to add.

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.
