Post by Flotsch »

Hello,

Unfortunately, the Circuit Playground Classic will not work with that guide.

There are multiple versions of the Circuit Playground board. The Classic is the older version and can not run CircuitPython. It also does not have a bootloader that will show the CPLAYBOOT drive.

The guide as shown is using the Circuit Playground Bluefruit:
