Welcome to the API reference documentation for Adafruit CircuitPython.
This contains low-level API reference docs which may link out to separate
*"getting started"* guides. `Adafruit <https://adafruit.com>`_ has many 
excellent tutorials available through the
`Adafruit Learning System <https://learn.adafruit.com/>`_.

What is CircuitPython?
----------------------

**CircuitPython** is an *education friendly* open source derivative of 
`MicroPython <https://micropython.org>`_. CircuitPython supports use on
educational development boards designed and sold by
`Adafruit <https://adafruit.com>`_. Adafruit CircuitPython features unified
Python core APIs and a growing list of Adafruit libraries and drivers of
that work with it.

What boards use CircuitPython?
------------------------------

The Adafruit Express line of boards is specifically
designed for use with CircuitPython. This line includes:
`CircuitPlayground Express <https://www.adafruit.com/product/3333>`_;
`Feather M0 Express <https://www.adafruit.com/product/3403>`_; and
`Metro M0 Express <https://www.adafruit.com/product/3505>`_

Other supported boards include:
`Arduino Zero <https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardZero>`_;
`Adafruit Feather M0 Basic <https://www.adafruit.com/product/2772>`_;
