The Adafruit Circuit Playground Express comes packed with sensors, and for this tutorial, we are going to learn to use the onboard thermometer (technically a thermistor)! We will take temperature readings with the thermometer and print out the readin…

This code was written for circuitPython pre version 3.x. Be aware that if you add the CPX library to the sketch it will conflict with the neopixel library! Its easy to fix though, just change remove the neopixel library, change every pixels() to cpx.pixels() and remove the neopixel initialization line.

That’s the only difference!
