Thanks everyone for #CircuitPython2024! It was great to hear from you all. Here is the full list:
Tyeth on discord posted “Thank you so much for doing the parallel display for the lilygo T-DisplayS3 + touch variant, going to have fun with this (was my 2024 wish/plan) ” and “I would love to be able to use long range wifi on the esp, it gets about 500m… no LoRa license fees or extra hardware required (but benefits from external aerial of course)…”.
todbot on discord posted “I want dynamically loaded native modules! It’s would be so easy (narrator: it would not be easy) But it would help deal with the fact we’re running out of flash on some boards”
jepler (aka stylus on Mastodon) posted to Mastodon to talk about going further with what we’ve already added and raises the question about sunsetting support on boards with limited flash space.
Mark Komus also posted to Mastodon about supplementing Adafruit-funded work with community requests and continuing to hang out in the CircuitPython community.
Liz (aka BlitzCityDIY) wrote a gist on GitHub about their increasing involvement in CircuitPython including writing libraries and also on documenting all of the cool things we can do with CircuitPython.
Anne (aka @anne_engineer on X) wrote on X about their updated wishlist for CircuitPython. Anne’s wish list centers around interoperability with old IBM PCs including running CircuitPython on them!
wavesailor posted to the forum about wanting a reference card for migrating between MicroPython and CircuitPython.
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!
