Boston meetup for CircuitPython on February 12th, signups open #CircuitPython #Meetup @hierophect @artisansasylum
Lucian Copeland is hosting a CircuitPython meetup on February 12th at 5-7pm at the Artisan’s Asylum makerspace in Somerville, MA (greater Boston, USA). Attendees of any level of experience are welcome, from first time hobbyists to CircuitPython core contributors. Visitors who bring their physical projects are also encouraged to transition to the Artisan’s Asylum Circuit Hacking night from 6:30-8pm for advice on PCBs and physical components.
CircuitPython is a programming language designed to simplify experimenting and learning to program on low-cost microcontroller boards. It makes getting started easier than ever with no upfront desktop downloads needed. Once you get your board set up, open any text editor, and get started editing code. It’s that simple.
Artisan’s Asylum is a 501(c)3 non-profit community fabrication center, the second largest makerspace in the US at just shy of 40,000 square feet and over 300 active 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.
