NEWER LESSON LINKED IN DESC: Our First CircuitPython Program - Print & PyCharm Coding Basics

Prof. G's maker content is moving to:
This new channel will be only for maker content & won't be mixed in with Prof. G.'s app building work on this channel.

In our earlier lessons we got CircuitPython installed & a PyCharm project configured for CircuitPython. Now it's time to code! Sure, we'll learn about that most basic print statement & the concept of strings, but we'll also learn about code completion, pretty printing, finding and correcting errors, using Tio to see CIRCUITPY output in the PyCharm Terminal window, and more! And you'll see two challenges at the end. Big Learning accelerates from this point forward!

I have a question I hope you can help with. I'd like to get the CPB to access web info & use Adafruit IO. Obviously the CPB doesn't have WiFi support built in. Should it be possible to use an Adafruit AirLift – ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor Breakout Board
Product ID: 4201 to give the CPB wifi access? Not seeing Adafruit guides on this which seems surprising. Do you know if this is possible? Looking at the AirLift learn guide it appears it should work but not sure. Have you ever tried to connect these together? Appreciate any help. Thanks.
