 Speaking of. It's Python on hardware time. Okay, so this week the newsletter is gigantic. So hug report, that's what we do here at Adafruit to Ann and all the contributors to the newsletter. It's a monster newsletter. So we go over our 300 boards on circuitpython.org slash downloads. I'll talk about a couple other things. Last week we mentioned we were able to help MicroPython hit their first tiered goal that they wanted to get to, which is... And 4% more so that they can get to their second goal. Yeah, I think altogether it boosted it up over 10% and I think 30 people. We'll talk about CircuitPython 730 and a little bit in the RP2040 stuff with USB teeny. We're now a topic on GitHub. You can check that out. This is a way for folks to tag things with CircuitPython throughout the site on GitHub and more. There's new Python implementations for this neat PicoZero Python thing. Check that out. And all the regular kind of unending projects, news, videos. The project of the week, I thought this was kind of cool. This was multiple displays. I think Todd talked about this. And you can show two displays using CircuitPython. Johnny Five action there. Which is, you know, Johnny Five is alive. And then we have a really neat portable CircuitPython. Yeah, these are the tiniest ways to program with CircuitPython on the go. So what I thought we'd do is go to some of the highlights this week. So first up, if you haven't already, I put this in the press section on adafruit.com. So adafruit.com slash press. You can check out Tom's Hardware or Ann did a cool video, the podcast over on Tom's Hardware. And then we're up to the final version of CircuitPython seven release before eight. Yeah, yeah. So what's the latest and greatest idea? Well, a lot of us have been bug fixes. If you, you know, if we're still finding people who are like, hey, there's a regression, please fix it. And we're fixing them. Seven three added a bunch of stuff. Floppy support, PIO support, merged Python 1.18. You know, a lot of boards, a lot of ESP boards were added. A lot of graphic stuff was added. You know, we added f strings to all builds that came in recently. And also Dan spent a bunch of time on improving neopixel timing. So a neopixel should, you know, work much better, no matter what weirdo neopixel compatible chips you're using. And seven three oh, we're probably going to do seven three one, but we're probably not going to do another mid level release until eight, because I think Python 1.19, which just got released, made an update to the format for MP Wi files, which we may merge in, in which case, we would bump up to a major version. So that would be eight. We're going to be doing more work on Wi fi workflow. Maybe, you know, ESP 32 s three is going to get more development. We got a lot of plans for eight. So we're we're thinking about what the arts going to be. We'll release it so we know the theme of eight. Yeah. And someone said the newsletter might not be mobile responsive. So I'll ask the team it should be. But if not, maybe there's some tweaks that we can do. So it's easier to read on a phone. Thanks for letting us know about that. And then next up, this wasn't a newsletter, but I thought this would be good for a lady to talk about. So the RP 20 40 can have additional USB ports for free. Here's a little video. But what does this mean for folks who aren't familiar with this? Well, this is I think tack doing a demo tax been working really hard on integrating this cool project from a group of Japanese makers, I think to add USB host support using PIO to manage the differential with the plus D minus lines. And we've been, you know, USB host supports been kind of coming into TV USB. But one of the things that was difficult for me to get USB host going is I didn't like it when USB host was only also only on the same as the USB client because usually that's how you upload code or debug it. So it's like, if you're you only have one USB port can be client or host, that makes it tough to host projects. So it's really nice about this teeny USB version for RP 20 40 is that you can use any two pins, which means that you can still run, say circuit Python Arduino, you can have the output, you can upload code, and then you have two separate pins that are used for USB host. Okay, so that's a demo showing, you know, HID demo, and you can see the output on the ripple. And all of these news stories more can be delivered every single week to you. Check out Adaford daily.com is completely separate site that we have, because we don't want to tie to your store account, because we don't want you ever get an email and think that you didn't sign up for something or whatever. So it's a really separate site. And that is our Python on hardware news for this week is our Python promise. Yeah. All right.
