 Plinka plinka plinka Okay, all right before we dive into the newsletter. This is an item in the newsletter But I wanted to just read what the editor-in-chief of Tom's hardware said The Adafruit feather RP 2040 is the best RP 2040 board you can get That's a review There's more offering a megabyte storage strong battery support for ADC's in a huge ecosystem of add-on boards Get it if you can find one in stock Yeah, that's the only problem right now. I believe me if I can get these parts Yeah, I will make them. I'm waiting on one or two more shipments. Yeah, if it's funny If you don't have the part You can't substitute another part like if you don't have the USB-C connector, nothing else will fit You gotta have that connector and hopefully soon just to you know another thing we decided not to do back orders because Everyone especially in the electronics community in the chest are talking about this right now There is some part delays part storages Imagine if you take someone's money and then indefinitely you're holding it for maybe these parts, so we do sign up so sign up we never do anything else with the email you only get one email when it's back in stock and then you place an order and That's been working out. So that's what we do. That's right sign up for them And we're gonna make them as fast as we can correct. So that's the that was the hardware portion of it and I think and this is I'm just gonna say this It's yes the hardware you did a good job. Oh, thank you Thank you Additionally, it's not just the hardware. It's it's the it's the circuit Python. It's the community world. It's the code in the community Yeah, this is code plus community, but the hardware is really good and the The thing that people can code with is it fits the hardware. Well, yeah, so Feather open does all these things Ujiko system of hardware circuit Python Hundreds of libraries get you going really fast and You're doing the thing you want to do. Yeah, so Anyways, I should why these cutting boards head circles on them. Like what's what's the goal? What are you doing? There's probably some type of thing either So that is so that's that so the other thing we have our Python on her one newsletter Yes, Piper make yeah a new Chrome browser based Fully browser way of doing block based programming and guess what underneath it's circuit Python You load circuit Python and then it basically turns the repel into a block based like Blockly programming system There's even a library that they published which you've just add to the bundle today So you can even basically take your Piper code and then make it like permanent, you know living on that on that storage device So interesting. I think this is cool. I mean with web serial now being a standard On it's by default on and Chrome you don't have to enable it anymore One of the things I always wanted to do is have a web repel and I'm like they did it like there you go That's circuit Python. Yeah, and the neat thing is if anyone says well Adafrit are you gonna make it like a block based circuit Python? these guys did here you go and I don't have to yeah And so this is really neat and I think that you know if you like Make code with circuit playground express try the Pico if you have one with make that play Piper.com. That's right. Anyways, check it out Yeah, okay our discord server hit 28,000 people right now. We have about 4,704 people online. That's nice. Yeah So we're doing a bundle managing and and library management We're gonna see some work being done with that. We've you know hit 300 libraries so we want to Now write plugins for IDEs to make it easier for you to manage your libraries Thankfully, we all thought about this years ago We said like like believe me we had a lot of discussions about the libraries If you look at how our libraries are done and distributed It was designed to be automated and turned into a fully Fully automated way of publishing libraries and getting them into IDEs and managing all the dependencies We learned a lot from how Arduino did it and we just want to skip to what Arduino is doing now And not have all the pieces in between so you know, I know folks are you know You can always drag and drop the files of your libraries on to the circuit pie drive But it would be cool if maybe Fani or Mu or VS code did that automatically So that's that's one of the things that we're starting to work on now So keep your eyes peeled and if you want to contribute if you want to help write a plug-in for your favorite IDE Post up in the discord or join us on github post up an issue And we'd love to have you because there's a lot of IDs and we're gonna do some big ones But we might not do all of them. Yep By the time the next newsletter comes out their new update of Mu. I think we either got in there It'll be in the next one. It's a public beta. Yeah, we mean we're stuffed in there But we have some improvements. Hopefully we'll get in before the last beta. Yep. Deep dive. It's got this Friday 2 p.m. Check it out lady to stuff spy some time flash memory. Talks about circuit vison Here is more of the way on display. Yeah, they're we're seeing more round displays and one of the things that folks do with Python and also all forms of coding on the pico is Display things Yeah, so we're on displays and it's cool because you can see the capabilities of circuit Python, which is managing your All these are objects, you know what I mean? So you don't have to redraw a second You don't have to deal about with dirty rectangle tracking. It's all done for you You've got some kibos there. Those are running. These are from. Yeah, lots of keyboard stuff. They run circuit Python This is a cool demo. Somebody is showing. Hey, look all these circuit Python divide all these devices In displays have circuit Python libraries already isn't that wonderful Game, do we know I love what they're doing. They are using the Eve chipset to add like true HGM I mean like the circuit that the pico is doing this cool hack, but this is true HDMI output with full graphic support in circuit Python so you can like load sprites and play videos and like Resize and perform. It's like a GPU basically for microcontrollers They have a shield and I think a feather wing and we're gonna hopefully sock it soon Yeah, Bill he was on the show and tell and showed the RP 2040 head mouse Yeah, so the standalone video can also check out last week's show and tell Connecting hardware the hard words making synthesizers. Yeah, there's a lot of MIDI stuff going on because we have that for circuit Python So people are using the Pimeroni keyboard to then control Many stuff. Yeah, this is a W. This is a Jebler's WWBB clock TG techies working on doing gooey stuff with circuit Python display. There's a lot of gooey. That's all you need to watch to do on off So like what do you what do you need more? Who needs to know the time? Yeah, you just need to know. Are you on or you off? All right, and so Python projects Yeah Blinkers So you can check out all this stuff more and more we also have a roundup Yeah, we also have a roundup of some of the things we released And also the upcoming events up to I think three hundred and five libraries me check three hundred and Five yeah, three hundred and five good libraries. Yes And check out the events that are coming up. There is open hardware summit. Hi, Ohio is coming on GeoPython Picon your Python. Hi, Ohio. Some of these are virtual some of these are gonna be in person stay tuned to the newsletter for all the things in Python and That is this week's Python on hardware. Okay, Lady Eda
