New to microprocessors - simple question re: breakout board libraries

Hi

I am new to projectbuilding but I am really excited to start learning. I ordered a new arduino uno and a TI CC3000 wifi module. Unfortunately, I didn't do enough research before buying the wifi module and later learned that the Adafruit library will make simple tasks MUCH easier. Can I use the adafruit library without having the adafruit CC3000 breakout board? I found a guide to set up the CC3000 electronics, but I don't know if there is something specific to the adafruit setup that restricts the library to use with their product.

Thanks in advance for any guidance :slight_smile:

You can use the Adafruit tutorials for free :smiley:

To see if you can use the libraries, you have to compare the schematics of the Adafruit module with your module.
In most cases you can use the Adafruit libraries. If something is different, the libraries are well written and easily adapted for your needs.
