Contribute to the CircuitPython weekly newsletter! @adafruit on @github #CircuitPython
Adafruit has spam-free newsletters and never shares your email address. We are so bonkers about this we made another site called Adafruitdaily.com where you sign up for our newsletter. We don’t tie it to your store account. We don’t have pop-ups or auto-subscribe you to email newsletters when you purchase. Why do we do this? Because we hate that and want to do good and be good. That’s how we wish every store/site did things. ANYWAY – we revamped our CircuitPython related newsletter. Now, anyone can add links and news (and more) using GitHub. This is a community made newsletter for CircuitPython, because CircuitPython is “Code + Community.”
Each week we have Python + hardware news, MicroPython news, and of course CircuitPython news. From cool jobs, to projects, to events – it’s all there. Here is the latest one.
To make it super easy for anyone to contribute recommended links, we’ve put the newsletter itself on GitHub. Anyone with a free GitHub account can contribute!
Have an idea for something we should share? Here is how you can submit a pull request (PR) with a link. Start by logging in to GitHub and visiting the markdown (.md) file below.
Once done, to create a PR, select the “Create new branch” option at the bottom of the page.

Once submitted, the Adafruit team will review it each week, make sure the suggested changes fit with the newsletter.
The newsletter is sent out every Tuesday. Have questions? Ideas? Visit our Discord server and join the CircuitPython community.
At this time there are 1,550 subscribers (CircuitPython) and on Discord 4,668 members.

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!
