 It is now time for Python on hardwood news. Whoo! All right. It's the first one of the year. Yeah. So if you haven't already, go to adefruitdaily.com and sign up for our newsletter. Happy new year. Happy new year. Number one thing, no matter what, if you're just going to do one nice thing for Circuit Python or for us is please, please, please take a look at the Circuit Python 2021 post. It's on our blog. And what we're asking is what should Circuit Python do? Where should it go in 2021? So things that we want to know, projects we'd like to build, things you think could be easier, additional community programs weekly, meeting core Circuit Python features, core C Python libraries to add, additional microcontroller platforms, new boards of support, library improvements, Blinka, additional libraries, package management, documentation improvement, learning system, read the docs, video tutorials, ecosystem needs, this newsletter, the awesome Circuit Python, GitHub, CircuitPython.org, the Adafruit support farm discord channel, tooling enhancements, GitHub actions, the bootloader. And one of the things specifically is if you say the type of projects you're going to do, that helps a lot because if Circuit Python can't do it, we can add those features. Right. And I think sometimes, especially when we started, I don't think folks realize how fast we were going to move. If you want to do a music playing robot, you can do it Circuit Python. Very easily. And when we first started, people were like, I want to be able to play MP3s now, I can. I want to be able to display fonts. No problem. I want to do E, no problem. I want to do cool animations. I want low power now. I mean, we're adding. I want low power in sleep mode. Right. So we're adding things, but what would be really helpful is, here's a project that you want to build that you can't build. Yeah. I know some people are like, I need you to add this feature. And that's one thing. But sometimes we make things capable of doing your project, not necessarily directly the way you think. So it's more helpful to say, hi, I'm trying to build a CNC driver and I need to be able to send data back and forth in a binary format. That's more useful to us to help us know what's needed in the community than just saying, you know, I need you to make dynamic USB descriptors, which we might do. But there might be other ways to solve your problem. We want to solve people's problems and not just tick off boxes for the sake of saying, like, oh, they have a box ticked and we need a box ticked. So I think that's, that's what's most useful is the most useful thing is to tell us what projects you'd like to build that you can't. We've posted up some of our coming soon. It's a bit of recap. We have our cyber deck add-ons for Raspberry Pi 400. We have a couple of new boards that we're releasing. The SD card on the chip thing. It was a pretty popular video. It's basically like an SD card inside of a chip. It's an SD card on the chip, guys. Exactly. That's what it is. Yeah. So other new bits of hardware. Yeah, the SP32 S2 S3 was announced. That's right. So we're looking forward to that. That's basically a dual core S2 and it re-ads Bluetooth low energy. So that's kind of nice. Here's a mag tag on a May tag. It's a dishwasher status indicator. I wanted to do this project and it was cool to see somebody like, you know, I'm not upset. Like, oh, they stole my idea. I'm like, I'm glad that somebody else built this project because I didn't get to it. Practical IoT hacking has Circuit Python mentioned in it. You can check out this really neat game console developer on the Adafruit Matrix Portal control board. They have like a sound board to it. Yeah, that's kind of Neat. Oh, they ported Carter's weather. Yeah, this is a Pipe Portal Titanic with weather. Here's a multi-mode game of life to show the different variations of game of life and it's all running Circuit Python. This is really cool. Here's a keyboard designed as a Feather Wing, a Circuit Python Star Wars pixel treat topper for the holidays, 3D printed lightsaber with the Feather and the Propmaker Feather Wing program in Circuit Python. Here is Kid and this kid built a robot over the holiday break with Circuit Python. Lots of kids doing lots of projects. We've been seeing a lot of those lately. I like this like the light speed between the Earth, Moon and Jupiter. This is a cool like scientific visualization. This uses a Trinket M0 and Circuit Python. They're probably wondering, how come I'm seeing so many like really advanced indoor sciencey projects with Circuit Python? It's because a lot of people know Python and that translates really well to Circuit Python because it's identical and they're able to do hardware projects now. I like this. This is a cool thing. This is the ultimate guide to fantasy football but you learn Python along the way. I think it's cool. I like that they went a totally different way. Like everybody's like, you know, learn Python like the hardware or whatever. This person is like, no, you like fantasy football. It's like it's so niche but it's also like a large community of people. New guides including, you know, single-serving things. I like these because it's like, here's, I just want to see Twitter from this account. We are now up to 289 libraries. Check it out. More is doing a talk in Linux Conf AU about Circuit Python. And of course, don't forget, PyCon's coming up. They did hit their fundraising goals. By the way, we helped out the best we could with that from not only donating but getting the word out and doing a membership drive. Thank you everyone in the channel who did that when we were doing that. And as always, please check out Discord all throughout the week and more. And if you want to learn Circuit Python, check out Code Academy. And that is, you guessed it. Blink-a-blink-a-blink-a. That's right. Okey-dokey.
