Circuitpython library for SparkFun Thing Plus - ESP32-S3 and ESP32-C6

Development Boards ESP32

I have the ESP32-S3 and ESP32-C6 to use with Qwiic 3-Axis Accelerometer (ADXL313) from Sparkfun. Are there libraries for these boards to run in circuitpython? I have not been able to find any micropython or circuitpython information for these boards in your product pages, tutorial section, and this forum. These two boards are not listed in circuitpython.org or micropython.org downloads page.

Please help direct me to any helpful resources available.

Thanks!

The ESP32-S3 is supported by CircuitPython but the ESP32-C6 is not officially supported yet.

Looks like we don’t yet have those board files for MicroPython and CircuitPython (it’s on our roadmap), but you can potentially use one of the other board files:

We do have a Python library for the ADXL313:

It should theoretically work in both MicroPython and CircuitPython, as long as you also have our Qwiic I2C Python driver:

Thanks ahsrabrifat for your comment and SparkFro for directing me to helpful resources.
Yes, I already installed the Sparkfun ADXL313 and Qwiic Python packages by following the SparkFun ADXL313 hookup guide - which you kindly recommended here.
Until we have an official release for these boards from SparkFun, I will try the corresponding libraries from Adafruit Feather and Espressif.
I didn’t know that the circuitpython library for the corresponding Adafruit Feather ESP32-S3 (4MB Flash and 2MB PSRAM) may work for our SparkFun Thing Plus ESP32-S3. Similarly, I will try the circuitpython library for the corresponding Adafruit Feather ESP32-C6 (4MB Flash) on our SparkFun Thing Plus ESP32-C6 (16MB Flash).
