 It's Python and hardware time. Blinker, blinker. Okay, Lady Aida, we have some kind of bigish news, I'd say, bigish news in the newsletter this week. So in addition to all of the stories that are in here every single week and works round the clock and setting things in, if it's Python on hardware, it's in the newsletter. It's not a cop. Go to aidaforddaily.com and sign up. We don't spam. When I do anything like that, we don't. I get some great inspiration from these letters. So scripting languages are here for microcontrollers. You can look at whatever we're doing with Circuit Python, but this also covers MicroPython and all flavors of Python. And we also just like we kind of cover everything. It's like scripting language like let's put it in here. Oh, cool. Rust is doing stuff. Yeah, I put in another interpreted or kind of a cutting edge or not cutting edge. Something more like Fortran. But less popular than C++ languages. And here's the other thing. This is what confuses I think folks. So we put in competitors things all the time because we don't think of it that way. So you'll see a lot of things from companies that compete against us. And I understand they can't link to us and do the same types of things, but we can. So we do. So anyways, check it out. Speaking of the awesome Feather update on awesome Feather is live now. So this is hundreds of Feathers and Feather wings. So we don't sell. I understand we move in different ways and people can't figure us out. But we really think if we can get the information out, people will make choices. And some of the choices will make will be to get some stuff from made fruit, but it's okay if you get it from somewhere else too. It's okay. So the big news this week for us is twofold. First one is Circuit Python 8 is now in a release candidate stage. What are the new things in Circuit Python 8? Lady Eda from 730 to 80. Okay, well, we should consider. So to be fair, 8 has been a long time coming. But the big update is, as you can tell by the sneaky expressive slash Blinka logo is that a lot more support for ESP 32 boards, the C3, the ESP 32, the S3. We also added support for the Pico W while we're at it. So there's a lot of wireless in this. I mean, we're featuring expressive. We love expressive stuff. We have Wi-Fi workflows. You can write code and debug and upload files over Wi-Fi. So you can like have remote embedded hardware say inside of a child's toy that it doesn't have a USB port accessible. You can still get into it and you can debug it. So that's that's the big part of it. All right. And then I'd say the other big news is exciting for me because I used to help our Mac magazine is the Mac board guide is out. And we've upped our game here at Adafruit Nursery. We're doing our broadcasts from home at night. So what I have is my, I have a subscription to make magazine, but I read it on a device. So this is the Mac board guide and I and I pumped it through HDMI and I have it going in here. So this is the cover of the magazine. Check it out. Look, there's, oh, so this is me, you know, I'm doing touching. This is one of our boards on the cover. And if you look at the boards that are available, you'll notice, let me see if I can go straight to the, there's board guide. There's a lot of Adafruit boards. One, we had a lot of zinging and zagging. So we switched processors leading to do a lot of revisions. And we had things that are available. So if you go through the board guide, a couple of interesting things about it. One, if you scan it with your phone, it has a AR thing with DigiKey. But also check out how many support Python, MicroPython scripting languages, check out how powerful the processors are now. And if you go online, you can see the previous board guides that Mac has done. And that's kind of just Adafruit. What's cool is you can see, like, there's not, I don't know if it's Moore's law. I don't know if I would call it the same thing, but microcontrollers are getting so powerful. You can do so much. Now it's about, well, what do you want it to do and how easy is it? Because if you can do anything, then it starts to come easy. So here's, I have this for Lady Aida. Yeah, I was going to say, here's your boards. So this is the boards this year. And they have a neat segment on which boards you can get alternatives if something's not available. And then interviews with people like you and quotes. And you can go through the entire magazine. This is a really good one. And with Mac, they really tried to talk about, let me just, I'm going to go through here. With Mac, they really tried to talk about what's been the hardest thing for makers out there. So you'll see some of the quotes and interviews from folks. You can see some more Adafruit stuff going on here. But this is, of course, one of my favorite issues of the year from Mac. Because it has, so this is for a good example, the replacement. So if you're looking for this, get that. If you can't get this, here's something. You can get a microbit, get an Adafruit close. So it's kind of neat how they said, well, this isn't available now, but here's an alternative that you can do. So anyways, that's cool. That is the latest and greatest. And I think I'm going to try to do more neat stuff with more devices because I have a little bit more ability to plug in different things because at the factory, we would kind of like be working. And it's hard to set up a show all day when you're working. But when you do the show from home, you can leave stuff there at night and wake up in the morning. It's all there because you don't have to move it around for a bunch of people to make sure they can get to the machines and stuff like that. So Adafruit daily delivers every week. Thanks, Blinka. Adafruitdaily.com. And that is our Python on hardware this week. Okay.
