Feather programming language

Post by Stumpy_L »

I am totally new to using feathers, actually haven't got one yet but I'm in the process of ordering a FeatherS2 and some wings. From what I have read it looks like Circuitpython is the default language, which I do need to learn, but can I also program the board with micropython or python?

Thanks

Python, no. Some support MicroPython, most support CircuitPython. All will support C++ (aka Arduino).

The FeatherS2 will at the very least support CircuitPython and C++.

Those are the main two.

Thanks Dave, that's what I thought. This was more a thinking out loud than any real need.

I appreciate your help

I should have been clearer. "Python" is the language whereas MicroPython and CircuitPython are implementations. When people say "Python" it's generally referring to CPython.
