+This repository contains a selection of packages emulating the CircuitPython API
+for devices or hosts running CPython or MicroPython. Working code exists to emulate these CircuitPython packages:

 
 

-* **board** - breakout-specific pin identities
-* **microcontroller** - chip-specific pin identities

 * **analogio** - analog input/output pins, using pin identities from board+microcontroller packages
 * **analogio** - analog input/output pins, using pin identities from board+microcontroller packages

-* **digitalio** - digital input/output pins, using pin identities from board+microcontroller packages

 * **bitbangio** - software-driven interfaces for I2C, SPI
 * **bitbangio** - software-driven interfaces for I2C, SPI

+* **board** - breakout-specific pin identities

 * **busio** - hardware-driven interfaces for I2C, SPI, UART
 * **busio** - hardware-driven interfaces for I2C, SPI, UART

+* **digitalio** - digital input/output pins, using pin identities from board+microcontroller packages
+* **keypad** - support for scanning keys and key matrices
+* **microcontroller** - chip-specific pin identities
+* **micropython** - MicroPython-specific module
+* **neopixel_write** - low-level interface to NeoPixels

 * **pulseio** - contains classes that provide access to basic pulse IO (PWM)
 * **pulseio** - contains classes that provide access to basic pulse IO (PWM)

+* **pwmio** - contains classes that provide access to basic pulse IO (PWM)
+* **rainbowio** - provides the colorwheel() function
+* **usb_hid** - act as a hid-device using usb_gadget kernel driver

-CircuitPython image, they have no value on a device already running CircuitPython and would likely conflict in unhappy ways.

-At the time of writing (`git:7fc1f8ab <https://github.com/cefn/Adafruit_Micropython_Blinka/tree/7fc1f8ab477124628a5afebbf6826005955805f9>`_),
-the following sequence runs through some basic testing of the digitalio compatibility layer...
+The pin names may vary by board, so you may need to change the pin names in the code. This
