A helper for CircuitPython development with Atom #CircuitPython #Atom @AtomEditor

Everyone has their favorite development environment. For those who use the Atom editor, GitHub user s-light has created a small Python script helper to work with CircuitPython, Python on Microcontrollers.

Features:

  • upload a Python script as ‘main.py’
  • upload a Python script with its original name
  • upload a Python script to the CIRCUITPY lib folder
  • compile an Arduino sketch and upload via disk / drive uf2

The helper script has been tested in combination with the Atom Shell Commands Package (an example configuration can be found in example_atom-shell-commands.cson)

Learn more about Atom at https://atom.io/ and the helper on GitHub here.

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.
