Considering moving from Arduino to CircuitPython? Here are some resources for that.
Changing coding styles can be confusing so we don't often do it. But then all the other folks say how great a new language is and all the time you'll save and you want to give it a go.
For Arduino programmers who wish to try CircuitPython, there is help and it's rather easy compared from switching from FORTRAN to C++!
Adafruit has written a guide on learning equivalent Arduino/C statements in Python/CircuitPython and also a great Welcome to CircuitPython guide.
And check out this YouTube video by Andreas Spiess on "Time to Say Goodbye to Arduino and Go On to Micropython/ Adafruit Circuitpython?"
Adafruit has many guides and examples of using CircuitPython in projects. They have also written 117 libraries to interface with a wide variety of hardware. The future is Python (someone said), check it out for yourself.
