 All right, it's time for some Python on hardware time. There is so much going on. Every single week, please subscribe to the newsletter. We're getting close to, like, I think 9,000 people who read this thing. So some highlights. I'm going to go over the big one in a bit. We did an interview with TI. That's going to be what I focus on. We have an 8-Box reminder. We now have keypad, support for vector and matrix key scanning in CircuitPython. Yes, you know how to do it by hand. Look, you could always do it by hand. But now it's done for you in CircuitPython, debounced, and you get events. So it's so easy to build your keypad-powered projects. Great for the new MacroPow that just came out. We're keeping everybody updated on microcontroller shortages. It ain't eight weeks. I don't know where they came up with the 18 weeks. I'm saying 95-week lead times. They get notified every day. One of our camera support that we're doing, there's an online editor for CircuitPython, deep dives with Scott, and then the news from around the web, it goes on and on and on forever. Projects, projects, projects, projects, projects. There's still a lot of keyboard stuff. Keyboards, projects, picas, keyboards, trinkets. So this week's, oh, and we also went over all of the micro-Python, CircuitPython things inside of Hackspace Magazine this week. So check it out. You can also read on the web at all times. And it has our stats, all the things that we're doing with CircuitPython and more. And this week's highlight from it is, so we saw the calculator come out. Can you give me the box? Box. Yeah. So this is the box. This is the TI-84 plus CE Python edition. And we're like, wow, this is kind of interesting. And the TI calculator forums, because there's a big, gigantic TI calculator community, said, oh, this is running on a fork of CircuitPython. And I'm like, really? So I tweeted with the folks at TI Calculator and TI Education, and they were able to get us questions. Sorry, get us answers back to some questions. So their team allowed us to interview them, which is really neat. And basically, the interview talks about, well, why are people using these calculators? Why Python? They also have a really neat history of the TI calculator timeline, by the way. Great. Yeah, great to proceed. OK. Cool. Now I'm cooking up. These are cool. I like that first one. That would be great. So I have to say, I've been interviewing CEOs and interviewing developers and engineers and business leaders and founders. And I recently did the Siemens interview, because I acquired Supply Frame and Hackaday and Tindi. And I'm always thankful for when anyone gets back to us, because although we're an electronics company, we're maybe one of the only independent entities talking about electronics now. So this is interesting for us. And it's one of the reasons we still like to be a publisher. That's why we have a blog and all that. So go through and check this out. It's on our blog. And I just wanted to focus on a couple pieces. Why add Python? Because every calculator that we have been purchasing lately has Python on it. There is the NumWorks. There is the Casio. There is the multiple TI. So I'm just like, I would love to hear it from TI. Why? They say, coding skills are basic literacy these days and introducing students to one of the fastest-growing programming languages the world gives students knowledge. They can apply to future STEM careers by providing Python on our TI-83, TI-84, and TI-inspired graphic calculators. Students can learn a program using the same dedicated distraction-free tool they're already familiar with from math and science courses. That's cool. And then I want to know, OK, what are some of the features? They say that. And then the most important question for me was, why did you pick Circuit Python? And they said, Circuit Python meets our needs for Python functionality in a constrained hardware environment. That's cool. OK. And then we asked if they'd be willing to put some upstream stuff up there. And they said they filed bugs and provided test cases of MicroPython for some of their changes. And then they had a list of the accessories that you'll be able to plug stuff into and use Python, Circuit Python, to control things. And then we have this really big graphic. So what we did was go to the overhead in a second. Yeah, I'm going to go to the overhead in a second. So what we did is we have one of these. We cracked it open. And we actually saw the chip. And they put a chip on there just to do this. Yeah. So close. Yeah. So that little pink dot there on the right is where a fork of Circuit Python lives. I like to imagine that the key way dot is pink because blink is pink. And then this is a flash memory that goes with it. So there you go. All right. So that is how Python lives here.
