 Next up. It is Python on Harmer news. It's the Blinka news. Beep, beep, beep, beep. Blinka. The news this week, the talk that you did is posted. Yes. So this was the Linux AU. Okay, so everyone who's like, why did circuit Python fork? Why did you do Blinka? Why did you make all the decisions? These are bad decisions. I think they're bad decisions. There may be a reason behind these decisions. You could watch this talk and I will explain from beginning to end the story of how circuit Python and Blinka came to be and why I made some decisions. We even got an email from somebody saying, which we know for a while, he's like, Oh, he's like, I haven't really understood why circuit Python had to fork. And they're like, I watched this and I actually understand why you did it. So check it out. It's also a great history of like all things microcontroller and electronics packed into one hour. And I also serve up duck three ways at the end. All right. This kind of need these are the die shots of the Raspberry Pi RP 2040. Yeah, mini Raspberry Pi logo. So you could start to see the insides of Oh, he's like, you're like zooming in. The chip. Cool. Yeah, that can run Python. That's right. That's literally Python on that hardware. Literally Python on the hardware. Another reminder, 27,000 people in discord. Some of you are there right now. We have 4,528 people online right now. Scott's deep dive is this week. Don't forget that news around the web. You can check out Melissa. It's really cool. It's like a little personal digital assistant, a CPDA circuit Python digital assistant runs on a fruit pipe portal, Titano and does things like calculator has little icons reminds you of reminds you of the like the Newton in the palm and the magic cap OS. Well, remember, we went and saw the magic hat while we were working on a portal, I think was when we went to watch the magic hat. Documentary. When we're watching movies. Yeah, remember, it was cool. You can have a couple more projects. We also released a guide. You can see this is a master G. Professor G's mask launcher or mask giver. This is kind of needs a circuit sculpture. The hobby comes to the Pico and this is circuit Python and circuit sculpting with circuit Python powering it. Here's some more Pico projects. This is MIDI stuff. Everyone's checking out stonks and game spot and if you and if you want to use and make the easiest possible stock ticker, you can do it with circuit Python in a matter minutes. And so like if you wanted your own stock ticker, if you're like, OK, like I'm going to just check out this trend today or I'm on Wall Street bets tomorrow or I'm going to use Robin Hood. Now, like this is this is a way to do it. It's a great way to see your money disappear. Yeah. And here's a OSC device using Sonic Pi and Raspberry Pi Pico. The ADC reads circuit Python slider allowing the pupils on the dinky OSC to move all around. It was a really cute project. Yeah. I'm Rony. Lots of people do. Yeah. So Pico is making the rounds. You could see a bunch of tutorials and more folks are diving right in, getting their Python on and then programming microcontrollers. So this wrap up week that we did has a lot of micro Python projects, a lot of circuit Python projects. You can use these in Pico. One of the cool things with circuit Python, of course, or really what's Python is you can take the code and move it around and it works. Yeah. Other places. Other guides that we publish team notes and more. We're up to 290 libraries. You can see what each team member is up to on the team. But we're publishing what events are ahead and more. And that is Python on hardware news for this week. It's been massive. And this Pico launch is just going to like there's now thousands and thousands of people that now have a board that runs micro Python, circuit Python. So I think we're going to see a ton more projects, code, contributions. I'm super psyched. Yeah. And the whole idea is, and this is the thing I like about electronics right now is you have choices because you can boot up as circuit Python. You can use it, micro Python. You have to build it, so it's like trivial. Oh my God. Love that. It's just like drag and drop. It's like exactly like the next generation is perfect. So a lovely new micro controller. I'm enjoying seeing people, you know, like it's funny. I mean, like I think eventually they'll be Arduino for it. And that's really good. But I kind of love that people are sort of being forced to use micro Python and circuit Python, right? Because it's like, that's the way you can do projects. And I think we're going to see people kind of being pushed to use something that a lot of people like, oh, you know, I've never used it. I don't want to use it. I'll use Arduino. But now they're kind of like, well, I got to use micro Python. That's the official language. Yeah. And for a lot of folks, they're like, they start off with what they, this is a good segue into our open source stuff. They start off with, oh, I just want to move a servo. And we made it so easy that gets them going. And then they can use other stuff later, but like circuit Python gets you going in a matter of minutes. It's one of the programming languages we like to use.
