# CircuitPython Libraries with the Binho Nova Multi-Protocol USB Host Adapter ## Overview ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/085/840/medium800/sensors_binhoNovaGuideOverviewImage.png?1576367145) The _ **Binho Nova** _ Multi-Protocol USB Host Adapter allows you to interface your computer directly to hardware circuits. This device is powered by the USB connection to the host PC and is also able to provide downstream power to test circuits. The following guide details how to use a _ **Binho Nova** _ with CircuitPython libraries to interface with sensors and components via _I2C_ (Inter-Integrated Circuit), _SPI_ (Serial Peripheral Interface), _GPIO's_ (General Purpose Input/Output), or _UART_ (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter). ## Parts And things we'll be connecting to! ### Adafruit BME280 I2C or SPI Temperature Humidity Pressure Sensor [Adafruit BME280 I2C or SPI Temperature Humidity Pressure Sensor](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2652) Bosch has stepped up their game with their new BME280 sensor, an environmental sensor with temperature, barometric pressure and humidity!
