New piwheels stats for Adafruit-Blinka @adafruit @circuitpython @raspberry_pi #blinka @ben_nuttall @waveform80
piwheels – Adafruit-Blinka. For folks who do Python dev and submit code to PyPi, exciting news! piwheels which is a mirror/cache version for all the Raspberry Pi devices has stats! These are separate from PyPi stats, since Raspberry Pi devices are so popular, it may add up to a significant increase to PyPi (adding PyPi + piwheels is the total number of downloads). For Adafruit BLINKA, our easy to use CircuitPython for linux, here are some of ur stats!
8-6-2021 (August 6, 2021) is the Snakiest day of the year and it’s also this year’s CircuitPython Day! The day highlights all things CircuitPython and Python on Hardware. See you there!
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.
