 It's time for Python on hardware. Yay, Blanca Blanca Blanca. There is so much going on in the world of Python on hard Happy new year. Yep, it's Blanca Blanca snaked its way to 2020 The circle Python was founded on the idea of its code plus community So there's so many things happening that it made sense to start doing some stats. Okay, so you love stats Well, it's good. If you if everyone's working smart together, it's always good to celebrate Stats that we do together. Yeah, and these are ones that are important to some folks like oh, well, how many Posts did I do about circuit Python? How many libraries are out there? How many contributors? Yeah, I think I think now that we've been through this a few times with different platforms different programming was different microcontrollers There's indicators that something's gonna be successful if you keep track of things and look at trajectories So let's talk about some of the numbers this year Okay, there are over 205 Open-source libraries in circuit Python correct and that's the batteries included That's the thing that a lot of people can immediately start doing their products with we kind of kicked about a dozen 200 so we have about as many as we have Arduino libraries written every new sensor and device we come out with We also have a circuit Python library and you get lots of displays internet connectivity staff It's all really good. Yep, and of course all them work on Blinka as well And that's how you know we have 200 because Blinka's like look hi. Hi. Okay another one Stars on GitHub. It's it's a vanity thing because people they just like it Yeah, it doesn't translate to money. It doesn't but people say this is this is a repository that I like This is something that I appreciate as someone who consumes code or contributes a code So 1500 starts and that's been hockey stick Okay, that's another that's another stat. That's right humans on a discord server 15,000 618 all humans post on Instagram with pound circuit Python 1,000 413 okay average monthly views on Instagram TV for the Python on hardware weekly video this one right here Yeah, 3,800 views. Wow people community meetings Where we have a video or a podcast over a hundred and sixteen every Monday We do a community meeting and we have a video and audio recording and then we put it into all the different podcast services We get a hundred and sixteen of those you can start from beginning all the way up till now when we started doing it And you can see the evolution the arc of all the things that go into an open-source programming language built by a community For a community. It's cool. It's a lot of work. Yeah You're like, hey gonna do Bluetooth into all the way look at all this Bluetooth stuff. Correct. All right, Sloan steady next up Form posts in forums data fruit comm over six thousand nine hundred seventy two community members on circuit Python reddit We just hit So 700 thanks to everyone over at reddit who does circuit Python related things and Python on hardware We also have a micro Python stuff in there as well products on a deferred comm that are circuit Python related in some way 2,400 circuit Python boards It's now up to 95, but we even have a new little download counter for Sorry board counter. Yes, that's the number of that says the number of boards Right, so if you're looking for like how many internet connected boards or how many display connected boards Yeah, we have 94 all together. Okay, sorry 95 because we have the top secret board that we're gonna show you. Yes, okay Here's the cool number about what's the coolest number? Here's the coolest number. So over half of the boards That are on circuit Python org are not from Adafruit Wait, I heard I don't see who said it, but I heard that majority of the boards not true We're Adafruit that's a lot more Adafruit No In fact, that is a measure of success if you have more boards from the ecosystem than your own boards You're doing something successful. So you're saying there's more boards from other people not Adafruit than from us There's more boards from other companies and other people than Adafruit for one more or like 10 more Well, I'm glad you asked at least 10 more. Okay. Yeah, so right about 40 from Adafruit and about 55 From everybody else together. I was proved wrong. Yeah, well, you already knew the answer to that This is banter that they do on show. Look, I gotta keep it exciting. Yeah, we rehearse this right before we get on We didn't rehearse it Yeah, okay. What else? What else we got? I think I got there, right? Yeah number of Circuit Python guides on learn.adafruit.com 238 guides with over 1,962 pages Circuit Python videos on YouTube over 495 Circuit Python tagged videos on YouTube over 220 videos in the Python hardware video series This over 61. This is interesting The number one video on YouTube related to circuit Python is from Andreas and it's called time to say goodbye to Arduino and go Adafruit circuit Python 485,000 and now it's Andre's number one video really well half a million views. Yep, that's a lot newsletters subscribers to the Python newsletter Big news and we'll talk about that next week over 7,000 subscribers Yeah, you wanted to hit that. Yeah newsletters shipped in 2019. It was 52 and total so far 152 if you go to adafruit.com Sorry, if you're daily and you can check out all of them blog posts on adafruit.com with circuit Python 1,217 and I also linked up some Google Trends there. Well, that's a lot of stats. That's a lot of stats Stick around for the top secret portion of the show Or get it as a separate video because we're gonna be talking about the clue board This is our new micro bit shaped board that runs circuit Python. It's All the things you always wanted a micro bit and more by that soon Lego just release their Lego ev3 Program in Python. We talked about it wasn't live. Yeah, now it's live You can now use your ev3 brick to unleash the power of Python programming It was micro Python simply install the ev3 micro Python image on any SD card and boot up your ev3 bit to start programming Right away kind of cool cuz like one it's running Python 1 9. Yeah, and yeah, it's micro Python They like go decided. This is the way to go Okay, if you haven't seen it check out the recap from tested where they review a circuit playground and like a bunch about circuit Python We have a couple of guides that just came out circuit Python libraries and Jupyter notebook This is a sleeper hit I think for a lot of the things that our lady has been working on we can interact with sensors in real-time interactive Jupyter notebooks and Circuit Python libraries on any computer with mcp 222 2 2 2 2 1 Brent yeah, also been tuning into the twitters and One of the cool things is a lot of people are saying the things that when we first started do is we're like Oh, this is so cool because you can do so so easy and we're starting to see tweets and more Where people get this and this is from instant arcade I have to say I really impressed with Adafruit boards and we've gotten to the recently Circuit Python is a game-changer for rapid development and the Adafruit offering to just keep getting better and better Here's another example If you want to program on the go use Python on the go. This is the serpente This is an iPad and you can they this tweet says it better than we could my mobile development on embedded Systems with circuit Python using iOS makes a lot of fun. Thanks to serpente from Arturo So this is a board we don't make and so this is an ecosystem That's forming around all the goodness that you can do with Python and circuit Python so much goodness Next up This parent had a dollhouse and the dollhouse didn't have a light So they made a circuit Python circuit playground powered. Oh, that's nice light for dogs Okay, this is a pew pew. This is from deshipoo. You can sign up on tindi the pew pew m4 prototypes Good gonna be out soon got buttons got like a little buzzer there got a nice screen Case 36c3 chaos communication Congress 2019 is that we posted a link to all the videos and more and of course There's some Python on her. This is a Untitled goose Honk honk This is kind of nice. This is FOMO. This is the tiniest circuit Python possible if it's into the USB It's so tiny and it's running on an FPGA inside your USB port and yeah They're using teeny USB for the USB bootloader. Yep, and they also got circuit Python running in it So it's neat. This is a circuit Python powered hoodie This is an unofficial 36c3 badge using a feather and circuit Kind of like shapes kind of rounded shape I believe true posted this up from Osh Park and more this is Flex after dark and 0.88 millimeter purple versions of the Blinka PCB design by deshipoo There was a session there. You can use micro Python to hack these cool like keel amps. Yeah Yeah, that's a micro Python in the background. Yeah, micro Python on everything. Yeah, I thought that was cool and then See the Grove is working on this thermal camera project. Let's progress with that so you can see yeah They're doing it in circuit Python. Yeah Here is from steam Tokyo. They have amazing graphics. They did the circuit Python book Japanese edition and They have a ton of cool graphics that go with it So I wanted to add that to the roundup of news. I'll add more because I have a new year's graphic now with chicken lorry and also circuit background Our very own Philby made a Krampus snow globe where the fleas fall It's dirt. Yeah, the dirt and ashes of the Of the children that he eats or something. I don't know This is from the meetup that was recently. It's the Israel. Yeah, this is the Israel Circuit Python meetup. They did a simple Project to show how to play tunes from circuit Python including Jingle Bells and Hanukkah songs and They emailed to they said over half the attendees are women. So that's great That's this is what's happening with this Python on hard words bring. It's great for workshops. You can get started so fast The circuit Python face globe you shake it up This is the New York Sorry, the New York New Year's Eve dress Yeah, look, I saw the New York skyline. Yeah, and here's a city skate. Yeah, and here's a close. That's nice I like like I like how now all the lights are on it's kind of like. Yeah Okay, we'll see skate. This is a badge Yeah, Kevin made for a me D And yeah, it's a dog. That dog was kind of weird and sad Here is a lightsaber that has the holiday colors of Christmas. All right, cool for neopixling Sabering or Neopixling here is um live streaming through a Socket To show what's going on. Is this like wi-fi or bluetooth or usb. I think it's usb. Yeah, okay, and this is Another example of how you can use this very cool component Part that lady made where you can kind of attack anything And start yeah, this is this is neat. This is an ft 232 h and they used Circuit python they used because they compute connected their computer And it's like how do you do gpio toggling to make this like little santa dance thing? It was a very simple, you know bit bang protocol But like, you know, it's very hard to do gpio from the computer without A little hardware addition So that's why I like the ft 232 h and the mcp 2221 because it's like their low cost And if you're a native python programmer, you like python you don't have to get a mic controller involved And also for stuff like timings like this where you're just you have to tweak the numbers constantly It just makes the iteration cycle much faster And from mr. Beese and discord This is the android version of Bluefruit playground. Yay It looks yeah, they got we gave them the assets and they're they're basically Reporting the code over um to androids. No, our blue fruit playground. Has not even been out a month yet So it's exciting to see Already community member cooking up an android version for all the android users out there And that's python on hardware news this week. Yay blinka
