CircuitPython Day – 9/9/2020 – is tomorrow! #CircuitPythonDay #CircuitPython #Python
CircuitPython Day is tomorrow, Wednesday!
Tomorrow, September 9, 2020 (9/9/2020) is CircuitPython Day, being designated the snakiest day this year! The day highlights all things CircuitPython and Python on Hardware.
Working with CircuitPython?? Tag your projects #CircuitPython and #CircuitPythonDay on social media!
There is a final schedule of events worldwide on GitHub here
YOUR PARTICIPATION
If you have a project – plan on being on the Show & Tell!
What is CircuitPython?
CircuitPython is a beginner-friendly version of Python which runs on small educational and professional boards called microcontrollers and single board computers like the Raspberry Pi. You can learn more on https://circuitpython.org/ and on the Adafruit Learning System.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
