On Saturday, August 13, 2022 we will be working on the Adafruit Customer Support Forums. If you visit over the weekend and things are not complete yet, please check back later, https://adafruit.com/forumupdates
After the 2020 edition of dotPy was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we contacted two of the speakers who had been due to appear at the event, Victor Stinner and Julien Danjou, so that we could find out more about the performance of the programming language Python. Aspects that came under the spotlight were how best to measure its performance, the reasons behind its slow speeds, and the ongoing projects and concrete solutions being implemented to tackle performance issues[…]
We recently improved the performance of CircuitPython for some computational tasks by up to 50x with ulab, a library similar to numpy. What performance stories or tips do you have for Blinka and CircuitPython? Let us know in the comments or on Discord, our online community with over 19,000 humans!
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.
