Re: Versions of Circuit Playground - summary wanted
Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clips, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound.
Circuit Playground Classic is the original classic Circuit Playground, which is not as powerful or featured. It is designed to be used with Arduino IDE and code.org CS Discoveries only. It does not run MakeCode or CircuitPython, and does not have Infrared support (which is why we made the Express!)

Wasn't there also a developer's edition?
