The first thing you get from the REPL is information about your board.
This line tells you the version of CircuitPython you're using and when it was released.
Next, it gives you the type of board you're using and the type of microcontroller the
board uses. Each part of this may be different for your board depending on the
versions you're working with.
This is followed by the CircuitPython prompt.
Interacting with the REPL
From this prompt you can run all sorts of commands and code. The first thing you'll do
is run help() . This will tell you where to start exploring the REPL. To run code in the
REPL, type it in next to the REPL prompt.
Type help() next to the prompt in the REPL.
Then press enter. You should then see a message.
First part of the message is another reference to the version of CircuitPython you're
using. Second, a URL for the CircuitPython related project guides. Then... wait. What's
this? To list built-in modules type `help("modules")`. Remember the
modules you learned about while going through creating code? That's exactly what
this is talking about! This is a perfect place to start. Let's take a look!
Type help("modules") into the REPL next to the prompt, and press enter.
