Adafruit Circuit Playground Express

The Circuit Playground Express is the ultimate board for learning electronics and programming. Building on the success of the Circuit Playground Classic, the Express adds more sensors, more features, and even easier programming options. You can start coding with Microsoft MakeCode using block-based or JavaScript programming, then advance to CircuitPython with Python running directly on the board. For full hardware control, you can use the Arduino IDE. With support for three programming methods, the Express offers tremendous value and reusability, making it perfect for beginners and experts alike.
