NEW GUIDE: Wirelessly Program a Circuit Playground Bluefruit Using the File Glider App

A new guide in the Adafruit Learning System —  Wirelessly Program a Circuit Playground Bluefruit Using the File Glider App

Now you can code without cables! In this guide, you’ll be able to use any iOS device, such as an iPhone or an iPad, to easily transfer files to a Circuit Playground Bluefruit (CPB). This is made possible by the new File Glider Application for iOS. This app allows you to connect to a CPB from your iOS device then you can transfer files to the CPB through the Files app. Once connected, you’ll also be able to create, move, rename and delete files and directories through the Files app. Additionally, the File Glider app enables you to write and edit code directly to the CPB!

This will be demonstrated using an example Rainbow Touch program where the colors of the NeoPixel LEDs on the CPB can be changed with the touch of any I/O pin.

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.
