Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "This recipe requires Python and pip to be installed on the computer."
A block of code is set as follows:
from adafruit_circuitplayground.express import cpx
import time
cpx.pixels[0] = (255, 0, 0) # set first NeoPixel to the color red
time.sleep(60)
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
from adafruit_circuitplayground.express import cpx
import time
RAINBOW = [
0xFF0000, # red
0xFFA500, # orange
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
>>> 1+1
2
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Click the Serial button on the toolbar to open a REPL session with the device."
