CircuitPython Libraries
The CircuitPython Library Bundle contains all current libraries available for CircuitPython. They are designed for use with CircuitPython and may or may not work with MicroPython. The bundle options are explained below.
CircuitPython libraries are separate files designed to work with CircuitPython code. CircuitPython programs require a lot of information to run. CircuitPython is so simple to use because most of this information is processed in the background and stored in libraries. Some libraries are built into CircuitPython. Others are downloaded and stored on your CIRCUITPY drive in a folder called lib.
The full list of all the CircuitPython libraries contained in the following bundles
can be found on the
libraries page.
The libraries in each release are compiled to .mpy for all recent major versions
of CircuitPython. Please download the bundle that matches the major version
of your CircuitPython. For example, if you are running 6.0.0 you should
download the 6.x bundle. The .mpy files are designed to take up less space on
your CIRCUITPY drive. Unless you have a specific reason, choose the appropiate
.mpy library bundle!
To install, download the appropriate bundle for your version of CircuitPython.
Unzip the file, open the resulting folder and find the lib folder. Open the lib
folder and find the library files you need to load. Create a lib folder on your
CIRCUITPY drive. Copy the individual library files you need to the lib folder
on your CIRCUITPY drive.
You can always find the
latest releases of the libraries bundle
on GitHub.
This bundle is built for use with CircuitPython 6.x.x. If you are using
CircuitPython 6, please download this bundle.
This bundle is built for use with CircuitPython 7.x.x. If you are using
CircuitPython 7, please download this bundle.
This bundle is the uncompiled source code for every library. It is not
intended for general use! It is only recommended if you need to edit
a library file. This bundle works with all versions of CircuitPython.
Every CircuitPython library has examples to go along with it. This bundle
contains every library example. This bundle will have examples that
require the latest version of CircuitPython, and therefore contains files
that may not work with all versions.
If you'd like to contribute to the CircuitPython project, the CircuitPython
libraries are a great way to begin. Everyone is welcome to contribute!
Regardless of your experience level, we have many resources to get you
started. Check out the Contributing page for detailed information!
