We got two more #CircuitPython2025 over the weekend and discovered a couple others on Mastodon marked with #CircuitPython2025. Please email [email protected] when you post too. Thanks!
Sam Blenny wrote a Gist about building standalone CircuitPython devices and the details of gamepad inputs and mimicking removable storage like cartridges:
My big goal for CircuitPython in 2025 is to assemble more building blocks to make standalone devices that can play games, run little apps, and take various customized form factors.
Andrew (aka somenice) posted to their blog about displayio and wanting a CircuitPython equivalent of p5.js. Click through to see a cool animation running in CircuitPython.
Anecdata posted to Mastodon suggestions for core enhancements around networking.
Cooper (aka relic_se) posted to Mastodon excitement for improved audio effects and benefits of the Zephyr work.
#CircuitPython2025 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. Please post by January 14th and email [email protected] to let us know so we can link to it.

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.
