Here's the complete youtube playlist

Individual CircuitPython Parsec videos with descriptions

Some tips on finding out which board type and version of Circuit Python you're running, more at : https://github.com/todbot/circuitpython-tricks 

import os
print (os.uname().machine)
print (os.uname().version)   # NOTE: this only prints the version for CircuitPython on embeded devices
print (os.uname())

import board
board.[tab]  # press tab for auto-completion - similar to auto-complete on bash
