 Okay, let's do some Python on hardware. Yay, it's blanket time. It's blanket time. First up, Morgan Stanley has a Morgan Stanley Makerspace program, and we post it up in our latest newsletter. They have a circuit playground, what circuit Python thing you're doing, so lots of kids getting hardware able to fill their Makerspaces with electronics so they can learn how to code, check it out. Colorful LEDs, look at it, it looks so cool. And if you want to check it out, they're not just putting this on a separate Twitter account. This is on twitter.com slash Morgan Stanley. So you know it's a big deal when the big companies are doing stuff with kids and code and Makerspaces, and they use their main account, not like the name of the bank or whatever it like gives. No, they're fully behind this. So very cool to see Morgan Stanley doing this. Next up, the latest issue of Hackspace Magazine is out. We have a lot of the articles posted on our site that you can go and read. Don't forget to subscribe. If you subscribe, you can go and use the Hackspace mag.cc slash Adafruit and subscribe. But it's Python on hardware. And that's one of the big articles in there. Drew wrote it from Osh Park. And he loves it because it's like microcontrollers, microcomputers, everything is supported. And they definitely have a lot of Python code and projects in Hackspace every month. It's a monthly magazine. So subscribe. They're coming to the US. So check that out. And in addition to all the Python on hardware stuff in there and using Python to control LEDs, there's Design of Vos with Fusion 360, makes things with toothpicks, add audio to Raspberry Pi projects, and 3D print strong parts. Next up, this is kind of neat. If you've ever wanted to get the measurements out of a caliper and use them in some way, either to store them or do something with it with an external device, CircuitPython measures up. There's a CircuitPython library for parsing data out of a two-toilet instrument like calipers or micrometers. This is great especially if you're doing a lot of automated measurements. You don't want to have one person recording and one person measuring. You can just have it all happen automatically for your calipers. During Engineer's Week, DigiKey did a really neat thing. They had, and I'll just show the video, and we'll just talk over it. They had a girls' night out for Engineering Week. And this year, they hosted one for all the young women in their area to increase interest in STEM. They learned how to program a Circuit Playground from Adafruit, the test. They used make code. They used CircuitPython. They used things to build projects that they can keep for later. And the staff helped out. So this is a really good example of one of our partners doing something that scales really. For us, we can't really do workshops in our space and all that, but this is something they did. So this is really neat to see. So thank you, DigiKey, for being such a great partner and very cool work. And look at all these projects that they were able to do. I love how all these girls, they have their own interests and backgrounds and experiences. And so when they become interested in electronics or engineering, they're going to come with their own information and background. And it won't just be like what they learned in school. It'll be like these kinds of events that give them inspiration to design new and interesting electronics. Next, on Hackaday, they had new part day. And oh, the things you can do with a clue. So check that over on Hackaday. They have a new part feature and they had the clue on there. Next step, over on Oshpark, there is a post about CircuitBrain Deluxe, which packs CircuitPython into a one inch square. Yeah, handy. Some other things that are happening. This is something we've been noticing. This is a tweet from Isaac Kelly. My first Hello World in maybe a decade, but maybe I'm finally around, finally getting around to playing with CircuitPython. It's impressively straightforward and definitely the most pleasant code on microcontroller experience they had. That's what we were going for. We don't know this person. They just tweeted it out. We saw it, we thought, this is neat because that's what we like to hear. Even if you haven't been doing any type of coding or Hello World in 10 years, if you could do something this easy, this fast, super cool. Also, this is maybe a more advanced engineer. Maybe someone has been doing this. And this is from Jordan. Most of my firmware flashing experience is requiring specialized software and off of serial cable. It's frustrating an airplane. For CircuitPython, you plug it in via USB and it shows up as disk. You copy a file to a flash, to flash the new firmware. This is so simple and good. I have like six different DFU upload programs on my Windows computer, and they're all completely incompatible. Yeah. I listen to LeMore's computer all the time and it goes, bada, bada, bada, bada. That's all it does. Bada, bada, bada, bada. Then you have to reboot sometimes. I know. This is kind of cool. Cedar Grove is learning how to use the CircuitPython display I.O. First to make text and labels, then an animated battery monitor, Sprite, and an automatic DST for the attached RTC real-time clock. This is a nice little display. Yeah. This is kind of neat, bright wearables, this is a geek mom. It makes wearables and things that happen to use. Anywho, geek mom has wearable clues and it's all working out now. So this is the clue that goes into the wearable of the Gripboard, and it was a micro bit. Yeah, you get that RGB LED is pointing at the color sensor, and so she's actually changing the NeoPixel based on the color sensor built into the clue, which is neat, because there's all these sensors that the clue has that the micro bit is not. You can do more advanced projects. Okay, next up, you can check out all the new feathers. Lydia, maybe you can talk about this. This is the upcoming super early Don't Ask, it's not out yet. Feather M7, RT-1011, designed by Arturo168, I can't remember the number, his name, or 182, who's been doing a lot with the IMX NXP chip set. So this is a very inexpensive but very powerful chip. It was at 500 megahertz, and we thought, hey, wouldn't it be cool to make this into a feather? This is very, very fast, and we can, when Circuit Python on it, we already have a build of Circuit Python and working on having the U of T bootloader as well, but basically what we wanted to do is try to get this $1 chip onto a feather so we could get it onto the world, because I think a lot more people would use this chip if it was available, and it's coming soon, soon, soon. But very exciting. Four layer board with a USB-C connector. Okay, and this is one of the new learn guides. This is a new guide from Brian. This is the STM32F405 Feather running Circuit Python with an OLED display and a pressure sensor with a port on it, and the port has a tubing connected to it, and so you can turn it into a SIP and PUF sensor. And what's neat is that Brian did a really interesting structure where there's a callback system for different SIP and PUF strengths. So if you have a weak SIP or a strong PUF, you'll get a callback and then you can form different functions based on what the pressure sensor measured. So this is for making alternative user interfaces, sometimes for accessibility, but also, like, Phil, you were thinking, what if you had a puppet that you could control some of it using your mouth, that there was that musician who would have a tube that wouldn't use a guitar? Can't remember the name of him off the top of my head, but so you can use the pressure of your mouth to, as a sensor, to read and control other mechatronics, robotics, what have you. Okay, and then just a little bit of a, do we have 214 libraries? So many. Circuit Python. And even more contributed libraries. And don't forget, coming up pretty soon, the Open Hardware Summit is in March. We have Circuit Python on the wearable watch badge. Correct. Made by Osh Park, SparkFun, DigiKey, and I think each participant will get one. Yeah. We also will have 3,000 clues at PyCon. You'll get a clue there. If you're at PyCon, we will have a clue for you. And that is Python on hardware news for this week. Python on joysticks. Yeah.
