 Happy Father's Day. It is Python on hardware time. OK. The big news this week is there's a new version of MicroPython. So Lady, we add the stuff that's in MicroPython to CircuitPython. What's the latest? OK, so MicroPython 119. And don't forget, we are keeping up with MicroPython. We are merging in their changes. And so this change will come to CircuitPython sooner rather than later, although I don't know exactly when we get to 8 stable in CircuitPython. But basically, the MPY format has been updated. And I think it's a little bit more compressed, which is good. It uses less space. But also, it can be executed directly from the end of the flash memory. So historically, if you wanted to freeze in a library, you have to compile it into code, and there would be some linking process. But now you should be able to just take the MPY and append it to the firmware, literally in flash. And then you can add as many libraries you want to freeze in, which I think is a really cool and interesting idea that could be very useful for CircuitPython as well. We might end up with some sort of dynamic firmware generator because a lot of people want to save RAM. You can save a lot of RAM by saving your MPY files not to the disk, but to firmware, because you can execute directly from the firmware file. So all good stuff, basically making frozen. I mean, there's a lot of bug fixes. I think Renaissance post port for the microcontrollers, which is interesting for folks who love Japanese automotive microcontrollers. But the big changes, I think, are this MPY update. OK, you can check our collection of articles, including articles about CircuitPython. Haxter has an article on CircuitPython 8. It's our new version. It's alpha. It's what we're working on. And last week, we talked about the poster. Thank you, Espresso, for allowing us to have Blinka Espressofize herself. I think it's cool. Yeah. I mean, it's a perfect fit. Python cheat sheets, projects, and more. Cube is kind of neat. Toddbot has been on a roll, if you haven't already. One of the things I like about Todd's projects is Todd can squeeze the code, basically, into a tweet. We're very close to it. Twitter's coming out with a notes feature. Well, it's basically like if you want more than 150 characters. But why not take screenshots of your notepad? Yeah. No, I think they're making medium inside of Twitter. So anyways, I look forward to what Todd's going to do with that, but it's always neat to see the projects because Todd does open source and posts up these bits of code and this cube was fun to kind of watch and evolve over the socials. And then you can check out some of the projects using CircuitPython, not even our hardware. That's what's cool about. I guess Pymer only has some cool badges. That's right. And anyways, then you can check out things like. You are on 2040 boards. Or be 2040 boards with a CircuitPython pinout diagram. Again, what we like to do is build things so other people can build stuff. It's always nice to buy some Adafruit stuff, but we also like to see businesses thrive. So you could check out all the different CircuitPython based hardware, even ones that doesn't come from Adafruit. In the latest newsletter, we deliver it every single week. You could check that out on AdafruitDaily.com. And we have a completely separate site. Don't spam. Don't harvest emails. It's just for newsletters. Not connected to your store account at all. That's how tenacious we are about protecting your privacy. Do you want to play like the horn effect or something? Or the twinkle effect? Yeah, so I have the sound board thing. And here I'll do the applause. We will never spam you. No idea if that works or not, but we'll find out. When we watch the app. Yeah, I think it worked.
