Tonight in London: MicroPython @Meetup | #esp8266 #microbit #pyboard
The London MicroPython Meetup are gathering tonight at the Notting Hill Gate Eagle Lab off that eponymous road in west London – more details here. Kudos for exploring Adafruit boards:
We’ll have one technical talk and demo (MicroPython with wings, looking at the Adafruit CircuitPython feather and wing ecosystem).
We’ll have the usual informal, fun show-and-tell sessions.
The final event will be a demo where everyone who has a micro:bit can bring one (or more) along with the firefly program installed.
This allows the micro:bits to interact like a cloud of blinking fireflies. Some of us are bringing lots of micro:bits so the result should be quite spectacular!
Everyone is welcome but if you have one or more micro:bits, please bring them and join the firefly demo. The software is described here. (The code is at the end of the article).
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
