 Python on hardware, yay All right, so Few things and we have so much Python on hardware stuff. We have to pick our favorites So I'm gonna skip these a couple things right now I'm gonna do this and then we're gonna go to the two highlights of the week So please get your what you want in circuit Python 2022 you can tag it you can post it You can look at our videos. You can You name it just just hashtag circuit Python 2020 to To the blog and you can also Email it to us Whatever you want to do get it to us because you help shape circuit Python. It's not too late. It isn't too late We go over some of the stuff we've been doing with this this floppy work and then A ton of projects. It is never-ending. There is so much going on with Python on hardware We're having a hard time keeping up with it. The newsletter is getting bigger and bigger Subscribe go to aid for daily. I'll talk about that in a second but the two things this week that I think is big and interesting news if You love your brand if you love your thing set it free So there is a show called the circuit Python show podcast a podcast with people in and around circuit Python And we have nothing to do with it nothing Yay, and what the reason why I say yay is because circuit Python has is and will be bigger than An Adafruit project. We fund it. We support it. It's all open source, but it's circuit Python.org You can look at all 250 plus boards that are there most boards aren't even from Adafruit and We're really proud of that because people want to use this for business. They want to use it for things Peditors of ours use it. That's what When we light another candle it doesn't diminish our flame and so we're thankful that we got it started but we're also extra thankful that people are carrying the torch so to speak and Doing shows that we just won't have time for We do this show we do this show we do a bunch of shows and Scott has this thing and we have a thing We do a thing every Tuesday and we have another thing on Mondays We have our community chat and so there's tons of Python books There's tons of Python podcast There's tons of Python videos and I think we're seeing the same thing with circuit Python now so speaking of circuit Python is A friendly fork we work with micro Python that team over there and we'd like to merge and like to do stuff We do a couple different things but what we do is try to make sure there's parity between the two by working with them and There's a new release 1.18. What is in the latest micro Python? Lots of little speed-ups a lot of bug fixes improvements to I think I think especially I am X core and Sam Dee and I think ESP 32 got a couple like I think of the ESP 32 s3 Got added support So like a lot of like a little support and here's the good news We keep up with releases so soon after 1.18 We will merge in all of the language library updates into circuit Python so that We get all those improvements and we also of course contribute back to micro Python as well in many ways So I think this is cool. We're doing a lot of work. They're doing a lot of work and together We're bringing more people into doing Python on hardware, which is what it's all about It's not just the circuit Python newsletter newsletter. It's the Python on hardware newsletter Yeah, and there's a million different flavors of micro Python and there's other ways to do Python on hardware There's Blinka there's stuff on Linux then there's circuit Python gives you all the hardware support and other libraries and all Different hardware. So anyways exciting time to be a developer. So if you want, please check out the newsletter You can get it at Adafruit daily delivered to your mailbox every single week It's separate from the Adafruit comm site because we hate spam even more than you do and so Adafruit daily is where you go You sign up there. It has nothing to do at your store account. We don't harvest emails We don't do anything like that never will and That's where you get it and that's this week's Python on our news. Thanks, Blinka
