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.
