## What it is
A collection of example programs and scripts that accompany Adafruit Learning System guides, covering Arduino and CircuitPython projects for Adafruit hardware. Code is organized by board/product and validated via CI with Pylint and Arduino compilation checks.

## Use cases
- find example code for an Adafruit tutorial
- learn CircuitPython with guided projects
- get Arduino sketches for Adafruit boards
- copy working code for a NeoPixel or PyPortal project
- contribute code to an Adafruit learning guide

## When to choose
- you are following an Adafruit Learning System guide and need its companion code
- you want tested example code for a specific Adafruit board like PyPortal or MatrixPortal
- you want to contribute code to Adafruit's official guides

## When to avoid
- you need a reusable Arduino or CircuitPython library rather than guide-specific examples
- you want to publish your own independent tutorials (use Adafruit Playground instead)
- you are not working with Adafruit hardware

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: education, hardware, tutorials
- platform: embedded, python, cpp
- tags: adafruit, circuitpython, arduino, electronics, microcontrollers, example-code
