## Description

desertcart.com: Adafruit Circuit Playground Express : Industrial & Scientific

Review: Great for education or an intro into electronics - Got a cool idea for a project, but don't know coding? the circuit playground is great multi-purpose tool for anything relating to electronics. I taught my nephew how to code using MakeCode and even as an advanced user, I can use C++ or javascript to quickly program anything that might be useful. From cold temperature detector to a simon says game, the amount of sensors and LEDs built into this small package makes it an easy project starter for even 4th graders to understand.
Review: Perfect tool for novice hobbyists - I was introduced to the CPX in my engineering instrumentation class. I’ve learned so much with this little board already and I can’t wait to continue to learn. It’s fairly simple and straight forward, and it’s feature PACKED! It has everything you could possibly need to novice projects and crafts that require certain censors and some coding. Their are oodles of resources and databases to use to help with anything you desire to make. Definitely recommend this product if you’re looking to get into the world of building and coding some cool projects

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these compatible with Chromebooks?**
A: Yes. MakeCode website works great on Chromebooks as has been mentioned. You can also program in CircuitPython very easily. I've had success using the Caret editor on Chromebook for editing circuit python programs.

**Q: How bright is it?**
A: The neopixels have a variable brightness and color so brightness depends of the color selected and brightness you set. The brightest is white at the highest setting. They are quite bright. Most demo programs set the brightness at 30% so it isn’t objectionable.

**Q: Just receive this and downloaded ide for windows, but which “board” is this called?  trying to find the right instructions from the arduino site. ty**
A: circuit py. Use ADAFRUIT's website the have great guides!

**Q: How many leds can this control?**
A: Directly from the board pinouts, it could control 8 old-fashioned LEDs directly. Typically people would get a string of "smart" LEDs (such as NEOPixels). It would be possible to control 100's of them (but you might need a separate power source). Note, Adafruit's website has lots of support information and user projects.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ another great adafruit doohicky
*by L***K on December 26, 2022*

i'm amazed at how much i've learned about microcontrollers, IOT, sensors, and python from this thing the lessons they have, the example programs, and the just the time adafruit has taken to make this approachable has even overcome my learning problems from recent significant brain damage from a medical accident.. plus it does all kinds of other neat stuff if you start combining things and grabbing bits of code from other sources and the adapting it when i'm not playing with it and trying out new code and ideas - it sits on my desk as my second roku remote in case i forget to grab the big one.. useful as well as fun and educational
