Adafruit CircuitPlayground Library

Description

All in one library to control Adafruit's Circuit Playground board. Requires no other dependencies and exposes all Circuit Playground components in a simple to use class. Adafruit Circuit Playground Express is a high-level library that provides objects that represent CircuitPlayground hardware.

Installation

First Method

1. In the Arduino IDE, navigate to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries
2. Then the Library Manager will open and you will find a list of libraries that are already installed or ready for installation.
3. Then search for Circuit playground using the search bar.
4. Click on the text area and then select the specific version and install it.

Second Method

1. Navigate to the Releases page.
2. Download the latest release.
3. Extract the zip file
4. In the Arduino IDE, navigate to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library

Features

• Complete Package

  Everything that is needed to run Arduino code on Circuit Playground is wrapped up into a tidy library that integrates all the sensing and lighting.

• Self-contained

  Requires no other dependencies and exposes all Circuit Playground components in a simple to use class.

• High-Level Library

  This high-level library provides objects that represent CircuitPlayground hardware.

• Give back

  The library is free; you don’t have to pay for anything. However, if you want to support the development, or just thank the author of the library by purchasing products from Adafruit! Not only you’ll encourage the development of the library, but you’ll also learn how to best use the library and probably some C++ too
