The CircuitPython online IDE for classes #Education #CircuitPython @River___Wang
CircuitPython online IDE creator River Wang has developed an education version.
This project provides (almost) the same online IDE as the Cpy online IDE. However, in this project, teaching functions are provided:
students sign in the IDE by a unique ‘nicknames’
Instructors can monitor the students’ editor code and console outputs according to their ‘nicknames’
Instructors can monitor multiple students
With these additional functions, instructors can provide timely feedback to the students.
River’s educational paper was accepted to the ASEE (American Society for Engineering Education) 2022 conference. It talks about how to use CircuitPython and the CircuitPython Online IDE to teach microcontroller programming in remote classes.
See more about the educational version of the IDE on GitHub.
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.

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.
