|
||
is Adafruit’s branch of MicroPython designed to simplify experimentation
|
||
and education on low-cost microcontrollers. It makes it easier than ever
|
||
to start prototyping by requiring no upfront desktop software downloads.
|
||
With CircuitPython you can write clean and simple Python code to control
|
||
hardware instead of having to use complex low-level languages like C or
|
||
C++ (what Arduino uses for programming). It’s great for beginners!</p>

in Space</a> - <em>CircuitPython provides an approachable and logical
|

means of conducting science with hardware. Paired with low-cost hardware
|

shown to work in space, we can enable an new generation to question and
|

explore the unknown. With the necessary “satellite stuff” already baked
|

in, students can spend their time trying something new rather than

reinventing the wheel</em>.</li>
