Step 1 - Install CircuitPython

This guide requires CircuitPython be installed, click the button below to learn how to do that and install the latest version of CircuitPython.

Are you new to using CircuitPython? No worries, there is a full getting started guide here.

Adafruit suggests using the Mu editor to edit your code and have an interactive REPL in CircuitPython. You can learn about Mu and installation in this tutorial.

Make sure you use CircuitPython 6.0.0-rc.0 or newer for this project.

Step 2 - Install Libraries

First make sure you are running the latest version of Adafruit CircuitPython for the Feather nRF52840. You'll also need to install several libraries on your Feather:

  • jepler_udecimal (from the Community Bundle)
  • adafruit_hid
  • adafruit_display_text

Carefully follow the steps to find and install these libraries from Adafruit's CircuitPython Library Bundle. Our CircuitPython starter guide has a great page on how to install libraries from the bundle.

Step 3 - Install code

Use the "Project Zip" link to download the rest of the files needed for the calculator, then unzip it inside the CIRCUITPY drive.
