Program CircuitPython USB Devices with iPhone & iPad

With the launch of iOS & iPadOS 13, iPhone and iPad now have the ability to edit code on CircuitPython USB devices. Users can connect a board such as Circuit Playground Express to their mobile device and edit & run code on the go.

For this guide, we'll be using a Circuit Playground Express, but the process should work with any of Adafruit's CircuitPython USB devices - click here for a full list.

What you'll need

• An iPhone capable of running iOS 13 or iPad capable of running iPadOS. Check your device's compatibility here.

Note that this tutorial is specific to Apple devices. It is hoped that other operating systems on other devices, such as Android, may work in the future.

If you're using an iPad Pro equipped with a USB-C port, skip the Lightning Adapter & USB A to Micro-B cable and simply use a USB-C to Micro-B cable:
