CircuitPython reaches 4,000 Stars on GitHub! #CircuitPython @GitHub @Adafruit
CircuitPython has reached over 4,000 Stars on GitHub!
CircuitPython is an education friendly open source derivative of MicroPython. CircuitPython supports use on educational development boards designed and sold by Adafruit and a number of other vendors in addition to single board computers (SBC) running the Blinka compatibility layer software. Adafruit CircuitPython features unified Python core APIs and nearly 500 Adafruit libraries and drivers of that work with it.
Thank you to all in our fabulous CircuitPython community, developing projects with CircuitPython!
It took 2,935 days (about 8 years) for the “adafruit/circuitpython” repository to reach 4,000 stars on GitHub. After doing some analysis with ChatGPT on the CSV file of the data, a few interesting things!
After reaching around 1,000 stars, the growth rate appears to accelerate, indicating increased visibility and popularity within the developer community.
The project shows a trend of consistent engagement and steady growth without significant drops, which is a positive indicator of sustained community interest.
Based on the overall growth trend of the repository, it is estimated to take approximately 725 days (around 2 years) for the repository to reach 5,000 stars on GitHub. The projected date for reaching this milestone would be around August 30, 2026.

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.
