Does the PowerFeather (and it's ESP-IDF SDK) support CircuitPython?

Hi, just found your impressive board and was wondering if it supports CircuitPython. Getting access to the board’s power management and monitoring features also (in CircuitPython) would be great (if CircuitPython is in fact supported).

Congrats for the achievements, solar panel input and battery charging capabilities plus all the features listed are a magnificent accomplishment so far. Keep up the good work!

Hello, thank you for the kind words!

Regarding Circuitpython support, unfortunately not right now. However, it is something that I also want. I just wasn't familiar with adding board support or creating CircuitPython 'modules' - so this is something that I first need to study up on.

Supporting Arduino and ESP-IDF was easy since they were just both C++ and could share the same exact codebase. I was wondering if there was a way to sort of easily create a CircuitPython wrapper with the C++ code underneath.
