The Circuit Playground Express is Adafruit's flagship educational board designed for CircuitPython.
12+
It brings the "batteries included" approach of Python to hardware by including an assortment of
13+
functionality built-in. It is one of the best beginner boards available. If you are new to hardware,
14+
then this is a great board to start with.

* 10 x mini NeoPixels, each one can display any color
19+
* 1 x Motion sensor (LIS3DH triple-axis accelerometer with tap detection, free-fall detection)
20+
* 1 x Temperature sensor (thermistor)
21+
* 1 x Light sensor (phototransistor). Can also act as a color sensor and pulse sensor.
22+

27+
* 8 x alligator-clip friendly input/output pins
28+
* Includes I2C, UART, 8 pins that can do analog inputs, multiple PWM output
29+
* 7 pads can act as capacitive touch inputs and the 1 remaining is a true analog output
30+
* Green "ON" LED so you know its powered
31+
* Red `board.D13` LED for basic blinking
32+
* Reset button
33+
* ATSAMD21 ARM Cortex M0 Processor, running at 3.3V and 48MHz
34+
* 2 MB of SPI Flash storage, used to store code and libraries.
35+
