| 217 | +## New Boards Supported by CircuitPython |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +The number of supported microcontrollers and Single Board Computers (SBC) grows every week. This section outlines which boards have been included in CircuitPython or added to [CircuitPython.org](https://circuitpython.org/). |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +This week there were (#/no) new boards added: |

| 226 | + |
| 227 | +*Note: For non-Adafruit boards, please use the support forums of the board manufacturer for assistance, as Adafruit does not have the hardware to assist in troubleshooting.* |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +Looking to add a new board to CircuitPython? It's highly encouraged! Adafruit has four guides to help you do so: |

| 252 | +## CircuitPython Libraries |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +[](https://circuitpython.org/libraries) |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +The CircuitPython library numbers are continually increasing, while existing ones continue to be updated. Here we provide library numbers and updates! |
| 257 | + |
| 258 | +To get the latest Adafruit libraries, download the [Adafruit CircuitPython Library Bundle](https://circuitpython.org/libraries). To get the latest community contributed libraries, download the [CircuitPython Community Bundle](https://circuitpython.org/libraries). |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +If you'd like to contribute to the CircuitPython project on the Python side of things, the libraries are a great place to start. Check out the [CircuitPython.org Contributing page](https://circuitpython.org/contributing). If you're interested in reviewing, check out Open Pull Requests. If you'd like to contribute code or documentation, check out Open Issues. We have a guide on [contributing to CircuitPython with Git and GitHub](https://learn.adafruit.com/contribute-to-circuitpython-with-git-and-github), and you can find us in the #help-with-circuitpython and #circuitpython-dev channels on the [Adafruit Discord](https://adafru.it/discord). |
| 261 | + |
| 262 | +You can check out this [list of all the Adafruit CircuitPython libraries and drivers available](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle/blob/master/circuitpython_library_list.md). |
