IMPORTANT NOTES IN DESC: Installing & Using PyCharm with CircuitPython (Pico School)

The version of PyCharm used in the video lessons has changed to PyCharm Unified. We will use this version, and all the features we need are free. Do not pay for or sign up for a trial of the Pro version - all of the features we need are still free in PyCharm Unified. There are also a few minor changes to the user interface that are described in this document, which indicates the time in the video where you'll notice the change. You should open this up in a separate window & follow these changes when applicable: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JkKLq0j7o2dbLE7FLeNqthPAtDew2-UKKSPZvkJ0ZGM/edit?usp=sharing The Windows Installation Guide my TA made is at: http://bit.ly/windows-pycharm-circuitpython Adafruit's PyCharm guide is at: https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/pycharm-and-circuitpython This lesson covers key basics for any CircuitPython beginner. We'll describe libraries, show where we can find example code, and take you through installation of the vital tool CircUp, which is used for installing and managing libraries. You're really at a disadvantage and your work is likely to take more time and be more error prone if you're not using CircUp. This lesson is part of Prof. John Gallaugher's Physical Computing university course.
