 Blink a blink. Cool. Okay. So first up People are gonna ask this at the end of the chat. So you may as well Yeah, you may as well. So we all heard about this. There's gonna be Bluetooth support in the Raspberry Pi Pico Likely in January. What does that mean? Okay? Let me tell you what that means and what that doesn't mean What does what doesn't it mean? So that silver square over there You know, whatever is Contains the Cypress like forty three forty three nine chip or whatever the part number is and that chip has the ability to do Wi-Fi 2.4 gigahertz and it can do Bluetooth classic and it can do Bluetooth though energy I believe it's either the same or very similar chip to the a wireless chip that's used on the Raspberry Pi boards and the you know pi W's So when they launched the Pico W, you know, they launched with Wi-Fi support We recently added into circuit Python as well. And so you can now use Arduino micro Python circuit Python with Wi-Fi now The issue is is that you know, there's this other mode with Bluetooth and you have to upload firmware and like you have to You have the commands and like I don't know how to do the commands The support is initially coming out For Pico SDK. That's the only thing that we've heard and we assume it'll also come out for micro Python The circuit Python team and myself and Phil had no other information about this chip or whether it'll be easy to implement or hard or what stack They're using. Yeah, we got some requests right away. Yeah, and it's done yet. Yeah You know the Pico W Wi-Fi is added I don't know how long it's gonna take to add Bluetooth or how easy it's gonna be or whether it's gonna be Bluetooth So I don't see your Bluetooth classic. We have to basically wait until the SDK code comes out and take a look at it But you know, if it's something that we can do we would love to add Bluetooth support All right other stuff but no ETA no information. No idea. Yeah, we'll talk about some of the pie cameras Because we have them. We'll talk about that later on in the show We're still doing our circuit Python 2023 posts and call for Your input. So let us know what you want to see in circuit Python in 2023 There's a lot of ways to let us know you can also look at 2019 to the 22 21 22 and see what you asked for and what you got you could do via video You can put in the circuit Python form. You can do a blog post on our site You can post a mastodon or Twitter or a gist on get up You can email us. So you have a million different ways. So please please please send us some stuff right away And then I wanted to ask you about the expressive chips because people are gonna ask about that as well Have you seen expressive? What do you think? Okay, so there's two New chips there's the c6 and the c6 actually there were getting dev boards I don't know when exactly they're coming but we do have some dev boards on order that will be able to stock in the shop for people it's a Bloop, you know, you can see here. It's 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth low-energy not Bluetooth classic Running on the risk 5 so I think you know, it's basically I think like the C3 which we already have in store. I think JP even did that did that for the part of the week The C3 which doesn't have a lot of pins and doesn't have, you know, a ton of flash and memory But we do have circuit Python support for it. It does have also this kind of interesting not native USB But like built into a USB so the c6 I think is just kind of like an upgrade of that still a risk 5 core Bluetooth and Wi-Fi just has a little bit more memory probably more capabilities Maybe, you know more USB not not trouble get the dev board soon. Then there's the p4 now the p4 is yes The p4 the p4 is like it and that it doesn't exist yet. Like I can't get a chip There's probably engineering samples. There's no dev board the p4 is kind of The closest thing to like an IMX chipset. It's a very very fast big Processor that has a lot of user interface stuff for it. For example, it has Mipi DSi CSI which I find very interesting because a lot of displays these days And cameras come with CSI DSI interfaces They don't come with parallel and they use a lot fewer pins Which is like great because parallel displays use like, you know, 70 pins or something So this is a large physically large chip, you know with lots of flash lots of RAM Sorry, the flash is probably external, but it has lots of on-chip SRAM. It runs very fast. It's got a ton of peripherals Displays interface and stuff, but I'll tell you one thing it doesn't have It does not have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth built-in as far as I can tell I see I see no Reference to that anywhere and so you would use this maybe with a co-processor or maybe you would want a very light weight version of Linux on this Get 400 megahertz risk 5 maybe you could run like a little you know major Linux distrail and That you then maybe you would use USB. I think it has high-speed USB. You would use that to Get interactivity, but it's not it's not a Wi-Fi chipset like every other ESP Board, which I think is a little Confusing but as far as I can tell does not have internet connectivity. So Again, it's very very new and we'll get more information about it But I was like a not chip week chip announcement week. So Apple announced that they're doing or like the rumors Are they're gonna do a Bluetooth Wi-Fi cellular on a chip. They're gonna make it themselves Yeah, don't scroll down because there's the peripherals Yeah, so sorry go up. So it's got I as you know, it's got SPI 50 GPIO SPI I squared C I to C PWM RMT, you know, they're automatic, you know, think for IR ADC's DAX you arts and 20 to wire And high-speed on the go USB which is very interesting Ethernet SD IO So that and again all this display stuff. So that's what it's good for It's good if you're like making it an all-in-one interactive device.
