We've taken the original Circuit Playground Classic and made it even better! Not only did we pack even more sensors in, we also made it even easier to program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart your journey with \u003cstrong\u003eMicrosoft MakeCode\u003c\/strong\u003e block-based or Javascript programming. Then, you can use the same board to try \u003cstrong\u003eCircuitPython\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the Python interpreter running right on the Express. As you progress, you can advance to using \u003cstrong\u003eArduino IDE\u003c\/strong\u003e, which has full support of all the hardware down to the low level, so you can make powerful projects.You can even use \u003cstrong\u003ecode.org CS Discoveries\u003c\/strong\u003e to learn all about coding right in your browser!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck out our detailed guide with a tour of Circuit Playground Express and details on getting started using MakeCode, CircuitPython, code.org CS Discoveries or Arduino!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause you can program the same board in 4 different ways - the Express has great value and re-usability. From beginners to experts, Circuit Playground Express has something for everyone. If you are looking for our original, Arduino-only Circuit Playground, check out the Circuit Playground Classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe board is round and has alligator-clip pads around it so you don't have to solder or sew to make it work. You can power it from USB, a AAA battery pack, or with a Lipoly battery (for advanced users). Circuit Playground Express has built-in USB support. Built in USB means you plug it in to program it and it just shows up, no special cable or adapter required. Just program your code into the board then take it on the go!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's some of the great goodies baked in to each Circuit Playground Express:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 x mini NeoPixels, each one can display any color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Motion sensor (LIS3DH triple-axis accelerometer with tap detection, free-fall detection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Temperature sensor (thermistor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Light sensor (phototransistor).
