Installation
=============
For Circuit Playground Express, simply install CircuitPython to use this library - the library itself and
all of its dependencies are built into CircuitPython for Circuit Playground Express.

For Circuit Playground Bluefruit, you must install this library and all of its dependencies. Please download
`the latest Adafruit CircuitPython library bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_. Open the resulting
zip file, open the lib folder within, and copy the following folders and files to the lib folder on your
CIRCUITPY drive:

* adafruit_bus_device/
* adafruit_circuitplayground/
* adafruit_lis3dh.mpy
* adafruit_thermistor.mpy
* neopixel.mpy

Usage Example
=============
Using this library is super simple. Simply import the ``cp`` variable from the module and then use it.

.. code-block :: python

    from adafruit_circuitplayground import cp

    while True:
        if cp.button_a:
            print("Temperature:", cp.temperature)
        cp.red_led = cp.button_b
