Since my post on New Year’s day we’ve had one person let us know what they’d like to see for CircuitPython 2022.
Checkout out CycleMatch’s (aka kmatch) thoughts on Twitter:
2021 highlights:– Birth of bitmaptools in core, starting with rotozoom and growing, yay!– Added graphical widgets for displays + touch response– Widgets: Button, Switch, Progress bar, Dial gauge, Cartesian graph, Flip Input, Icon– Displayio_Layout to simplify widget layout– I see growing use and examples for vectorio, an awesome set of tools for graphical shapes– A learn guide on optimizing CP memory use– Tangential to CP: Demo of TinyLogicFriend, a logic analyzer running on Cortex-M4 that connects to@sigrokproject for analyzing I2C and others2022 wishes:– Introductory examples of graphical Widgets and input response handling– more cool Widgets (especially scrolling text box, a way to organize multiple sets of widgets onto pages with a easy way to swap between pages)– Expansion of vectorio examples(!)Special hardware request for 2022: a reasonably-priced capacitive multitouch capable display handling at least two touches (including drag, rotation and zoom), witha super fast display interface and board. That’s a lot to ask for!
Thanks to Kevin for kicking off #CircuitPython2022! TinyLogicFriend is very cool and hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves.
I’ll be reflecting on #CircuitPython2021 in my Deep Dive this week and discussing my 2022 goals next week.
#CircuitPython2022 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.
