When you plug in a Gemma M0 running CircuitPython, the DotStar RGB LED on the board pulses green if there's no code.py program to run. If there is a code.py, it shows solid green.
Pulsing green was a little spooky for this nightlight, so I wrote a code.py to run forever:

That's it, that's the whole nightlight program -- the shortest project code you'll ever see! To use, just copy and save it as code.py on your CIRCUITPY drive.
Then I plugged it in to an AC adapter with a short USB cable, but if you only have a long one, you could bunch it up with a twist tie.
This simple nightlight was good enough for our houseguests, but let's make a nicer one. Onward!
