 Python on her word. All right, lady it up. We have a newsletter. We think we're gonna get maybe 10,000 readers by the end of the year. That's what they're saying. Yeah, that's what they're saying. But it doesn't matter if you can read on the web. We don't spam, it's a whole separate site, dated for daily. This week, a couple of highlights before I go into what I think is an interesting story. The Raspberry Pi Pico, our P2040 turns one. I remember a year ago. Happy one year old. Feels a lot longer, but yes, I remember we were reporting Circuit Python in secret. I designed some hardware with the chip. We got the feather design very early, got that release very quickly. And now it's one of our top chips. I love designing with the RP2040. And it's available. I'll talk about the Circuit Python. Get every bone a minute. You're gonna be on a podcast. It is a celebration of 10 years of Raspberry Pi. So this will be on February 15th on Tom's hardware. So you'll be there with Pimeroni and also Tom's hardware. And I think they have a whole series of guests and specials and all that. So check that out. As I mentioned before, we have the Circuit Python 2022 call for requests, participation. What are the things that you wanna see? Scott did a roundup. We put it in the newsletter, and we also have Scott's deep dive this week. We'll probably be summarizing quite a bit of this. So all of the projects are there. Circuit Python show. We're not doing this, someone else's, which is good. Not me. Yeah, I don't know. I'm busy. Yeah, I've got enough shows to work on. But they're doing interviews. There's guests. So whatever pod catcher you used, I don't even know if people call them that anymore. Sign up, subscribe. And you'll see and hear Paul interview a bunch of folks. There's a bunch of Circuit Python stuff in Hack Space Magazine. You can check that out. And then just projects, guh, lore, never ending projects. I thought this blood glucose meter was kind of cool with the mag tag. That's nice. So do check that out. So the story, the one I wanted to focus on this week is something happened in the world of Circuit Python, Lady Aida, that made the stars on GitHub, which is a measure of our people using this, our people doing stuff with it. It's a rough measure. It's not how many users. It is a measure. But it's how many more interested in the development of it. So what happened for these little areas that it spiked up? Yeah, so you see normally it's quite linear for the most part. It just kind of goes with time. Although it's accelerating where it does kind of curve up. But there's two big bumps. One bump is when we did the pie portal. Because basically, we had a project which we were doing every time people starred. They get a repo until a lot of people were, we kind of said, hey folks, check out this project and star the repo. And a lot of people got a pie portal in the Aida box, I think added stars as part of the project. So we saw a bump there. And then another bump came basically a year ago right around MicroPython. I'm guessing that's exact, I don't know the exact date. But it looks like it's just at the new year of 2021, which is I think a lot of people got Raspberry Pi Pico's. And they're like, I want to run software on it. And CircuitPython ran out of the box and could do keyboards and MIDI and USB. And we had a lot of libraries and drivers. So I think that was a big bump in the user base. And so we got a lot of stars then. I think when you introduced new hardware, that's when a lot of it was a whole new family of hardware. Raspberry Pi even said one, they sold about a million Pico's. So 10% of those people probably or 1% even checked out CircuitPython. That's 100,000 more users. All right, so you get this newsletter with all this and more at AdafruitDaily.com. Once again, we don't spam. So a completely separate site has nothing to do with your Adafruit account at all whatsoever. And it gets delivered to you every single week by a cool purple snake that we like to call, Blanka. And that's Python on hardware this week.
