Python Discord server and Adafruit! @discordapp @reddit @circuitpython #python
There are even more reasons and resources to learn Python, and/or join one of the largest coding communities in the world – check out Python Discord –
Python Discord is the official Discord server of r/Python on Reddit (326k subscribers). We’re a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others. We organise regular community events and have a dedicated staff of talented Python developers available to assist around the clock. Whether you’re looking to learn the language or working on a complex project, we’ve got someone who can help you if you get stuck.
Python Discord now has a #microcontrollers channel! Join in https://discord.gg/djuFYQA for the largest Python community and now with hardware too!

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 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
