 All right, it's Python on hardware time blinker blinker blinker We are nearly ready any moment any second to release circuit Python a six. We're just squishing those bugs Yeah, crushing them if you want to see a bunch of circuit Python Demos and more in action the latest eight a box the video is up I won't ruin it if you didn't see it but lots of surprises JP did an amazing job with it and You can check that out. So here's some highlights from a fruit daily. This is our newsletter You go to a for daily comm and you sign up for Python on hardware. Okay, and we have over 8,000 subscribers I think this is the most popular Python on hardware newsletter. That's because it's free. There's no ads and it's Yeah, we don't ever we don't ever use your email address for anything in fact It's always good to mention the reason why we have a separate site called a for daily comm is that way you never have to Worry about your store account with a deferred never gets used for anything other than the store count That's why we did separate things a deferred daily So that no one could say I signed up for something on Here and then someone email here not even possible. So things that are going on There's a VS code for this circuit Python workflow. Yes extension. Yeah plug-in. Yeah includes library manager serial console and autocomplete I worked on a m2 form factor GitHub repo. There's a good discussion over there. We're not sure if we're gonna do one and if we do what standard There's like Everyone kind of did their own thing. Yeah, but it was good to have all this information. Yeah So we that's the you know, I put on journalism hat for a second And I said well what I would want is to see all the ones that are out there all the pinouts and then hear from the users What do they want to do with it? And then from the module makers of people even like us or like what do you want to see in a potential new form factor? Because we had success with feather. So what could we bring to the table if there is another form factor to do? Open hardware month wrap-up. This is hardware month You could check out the weather report we submitted more open hardware and there's an API now Yeah, so about 40% of the certified open source hardware is from us. So Get some cred for you know, bringing a woman-owned company into industry Manufacturing technology that normally wasn't associated with it. Now. It's just normal now I'm now I'm sure folks are just like oh man look at all this data for stuff Microsoft and Netflix teamed up. I thought this was kind of neat they There's a new Netflix original show called over the moon and Microsoft is launching new modules learning modules with them So they can complete things like data science machine learning and artificial intelligence and of course they're using Python So I think this is just like yet another example of every single time. There's something interesting and educational for kids What can you do with it and what language are you going to use and it's Python? And that's why it's really important to us Especially for the Python on hardware newsletter and all the things that we do a lot of young people are learning a Programming language. I was talking to someone today and they said oh, yeah My daughter is in ninth grade and she's learning programming and I said is a Python He goes oh, yeah, that's what it is and he said how do you know them looks like well It's a guess because that's what it's the language that everyone's learning So you could take that Python knowledge and then put that on a microcontroller So you're an electronics engineer if you know Python right now What I really like about this is that there have been other movies that we've been contacted by and they were just like well We want to promote this movie, but we don't actually want to have any real science or engineering They were like oh, can we just like figure out how to fake it and What's cool is that this is like this seems like really intense There's like vision and VS code and Python pandas library So it's like you're doing like real math and science like and this is very realistic You're gonna be taking data making a prediction and then testing that prediction That's what people do with data science. Yeah, just like a side note So the funny story sort of the the folks who did ant-man reached out to us And they said we want to do we want to celebrate women in tech for ant-man and We said it's ant-man It's ant-man. So they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, but like is that a big deal? And so, you know, basically they end up not doing the campaign, but you know ant-man And you know, so I'm happy to see this over the moon thing Hand sanitizer use counter. This is kind of neat. This is a teacher who set up matrix portal and It shows if they sanitize their hand and you want to beat yesterday's Goal and average. Yeah, good use of circuit Python and the new matrix portal Yeah, I'm bored. Scott does deep dives each week You'll see this on Friday and then he also looked at the M2 connectors and e-paper. Yes I thought this was neat. Radamir is doing this really cool flat keyboard. Yeah, low profile display keyboard Radamir stuff is always delightful Liz at Blitz City interviews their flowers and whatever them lots circuit Python hardware and more you can see the synth stuff that he's been working on This is some neat little projects that you can do with the cutie pie Todd bot was doing this. Also. There's an article on make about all the different things you can do Here's a birthday wishbox Yeah, so maybe it's a bit see and neopixel and circuit Python and Again more stuff for Python machine learning for accounting with Python. So every single time Someone wants to do something Python is usually a way to do it and it's a pretty popular way some stuff that we have Coming out soon some new learn guides libraries. We are up to 276. Oh, I gotta write some more libraries. I can get up to let's get up to 300. Yeah I want to celebrate and a couple other things practical guide to Python. That's an upcoming event called for Philly free workshop October fest is going on Python Brazil 2020. That's cool. Hackaday. Yeah, Hackaday Remotocons next weekend, right? Yeah, six and eighth of November, PyCon Sweden Our coverage stats you can always post up your skills or look for a job on jobs at Adafruit comm join us over on Discord all 25,000 of us right now. There's about 4,335 people hanging out chatting and sharing things and in case you missed it We have all these videos and the code Academy courses are available and more and that is all the news that's fit to slink Slytherr. Yeah All right Another great week in Python news
