UPDATED GUIDE: Use CircUp to easily keep your CircuitPython libraries up to date @ntoll @circuitpython #circuitpython #AdafruitLearningSystem @Adafruit @MakerMelissa
This guide has been updated with the latest features such as the ability to work with both PY and MPY file, the ability to show all available libraries, the ability to install libraries through the command line, and an automatic updater that will update all of your libraries.
Do you have one or more devices running CircuitPython and you find all the frequent library updates by the hard-working Adafruit folks and community members hard to keep up with? Well then CircUp may just be the tool for you.
CircUp is a utility written by Nicholas Tollervey that looks at all the libraries inside of the lib folder on your connected CircuitPython device. It can tell you what version each of them is, if there are any out of date libraries, and if they are out of date, it can automatically go to the repo, download and update the library for you. It’s still in the early stages of development, but already works quite well.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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.
