<h1>The easiest way to program microcontrollers</h1>
<p>
CircuitPython is a programming language designed to simplify experimenting
and learning to program on low-cost microcontroller boards. It makes getting
and learning to code on low-cost microcontroller boards. It makes getting
started easier than ever with no upfront desktop downloads needed. Once you
get your board set up, open any text editor, and get started editing code.
It's that simple.

packages which means it's easy to reuse your code for other projects. It has
a built in interpreter which means there are no extra steps, like compiling,
to get your code to work. And of course, Python is Open Source Software
which means it's free for anyone to use, modify or improve upon.

<h1>Thanks</h1>
<p>
CircuitPython wouldn't exist without the awesome work of the <a href="https://micropython.org">Damien George and the MicroPython community</a>. They did the hard work to reimplement Python on microcontrollers and continue to push the boundaries of what is possible.
</p>
<p>
Thank you to <a href="https://adafruit.com">Adafruit</a> for continuing to support
CircuitPython's beginner-focussed development.
</p>
<p>
Lastly, thank you to the CircuitPython community members who have spent time testing, triaging, fixing and enhancing CircuitPython, it's libraries and it's documentation. Together we're all making something incredible.
