CircuitPython 0.9.6 – Fresh Bugs

From the GitHub release page:

Who knew there would still be more bugs to fix? 😛 Thanks to everyone who has found and reported issues. We really appreciate the feedback. In fact, we now auto-build every commit to the repository and make it available for testing here. So, if you feel like finding fresh bugs give an auto-build a try. 🙂

This release is based on MicroPython 1.8.7.

Change highlights since 0.9.5:

  • atmel-samd: HID Mouse support fixed by @dhalbert.
  • atmel-samd: Disabled pulseio (PWMOut, PulseIn and PulseOut) in non-express builds in favor of touch.
  • atmel-samd: Switched to FreeTouch for touch support and enabled in all builds.
  • esp8266: Fixed bidirectional SPI thanks to @jerryneedell.
  • atmel-samd: Fix potential buffer overflow when providing start index to I2C and SPI read/write functions.
  • atmel-samd: Turn on built-in framebuf module for express boards.

To install, download a .bin file and follow the guide here for M0 and here for ESP8266.

Have a Feather M0 Express? Download a .uf2 and follow these instructions. To install our libraries simply download the latest bundle and copy the lib folder onto your CIRCUITPY drive.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
