David Glaude’s #circuitpython2020

Blinka in 2020

David from Belgium wrote a GitHub Gist with his perspective on CircuitPython in 2020. Check it out to hear how Micropython, BLE, and spoken languages can influence CircuitPython in 2020.

Here is a preview:

I am David Glaude from Belgium and I am currently preparing a CircuitPython presentation for FOSDEM’20: https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/iotcircuitpython/

In order to propose that presentation, I first worked on some demo I could present. Rather than to reinvent the wheel, I took some of the example code I could find around, picking stuff that could bring a WoW effect and that is based on BLE or Airlift.

Now that the presentation is accepted, I need to work on the slide and the story I want to tell. So I am forcing myself to consolidate my knowledge of CircuitPython history, release, hardware support, key decision, …

#circuitpython2020 is our annual reflection on the state of CircuitPython. We’d love to hear from you too! See the kick-off post for all of the details. Here are all of the previous posts:

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.
