 Good news, it's Python on hardware time. Yay, Blinka! Yeah, we get a lot of stuff going on in the world of Python. OK, well, we hit a milestone. Yeah. 300 circuit Python libraries. From Adafruit, we also have almost 100 from the community and the community bundle. But Adafruit, us, we, whenever we do a breakout board, unless there's some really weird reason, we always do a library for it. Sometimes there's stuff under NDA or there's a pre-compiled binary we can't. But pretty much 99% of our breakout boards and dev boards and sensors and helpers and libraries and stuff are part of the Adafruit Circuit Python library. So here's the good news. Every Circuit Python library we write is supported and also works in CPython, which means it works on a Raspberry Pi. It works on a computer with a USB GPIO converter, like an FT232. If you learn Python once, you can use it in all these places. That's kind of the cool thing. The right once run anywhere thing is actually possible now. With Python, also these libraries work on MicroPython if you use the Blinka library. So we hit 300. Thanks so much for everyone who helps. All of these have documentation and typing data and read the docs and example codes. And it's just been awesome. One of the best decisions I made was let's have one library that works for Circuit Python and Python boards as well. Because people love to use our sensors with single board computers like Beaglebone, Raspberry Pi, as well as microcontrollers. Right once, run everywhere. Yeah. And if you want to support Adafruit and all of the folks that we pay to write all these libraries and more, pick up an electronic kit. Breakup board, something at Adafruit.com and use the discount code tonight. Other news, we wanted to get out there speaking of support in others. GitHub sponsors now has more countries. So if you want to sponsor someone in another country, you can. Circuit Python Day is coming up pretty soon. It is Friday, August 19th. We have a lot going on. We have a panel discussion. We've got chat with some of the core team. We have a special edition of a Circuit Python themed show and tell. We have a project build. There's a lot of stuff going on. Fome Guy is doing a Circuit Python Day game jam stream. And then the thing that we're going to show off. And then we have a ton of other things going on in the newsletter. And the world of Python on hardware. Lots of videos. Unending projects. Games, videos, micro-python. But I thought what we would do this week is show what came in the mail here. Oh, that's right. So why don't you hold this up and then I'll get this all cleared off and ready. What it could it be? I wonder what it is. This is actually a real unboxing. So thank you, Kevin, who sent this along. These are the hack tablets. You may have seen the show and tell in the past where Kevin came on. And Tim's show, Tim also went over this and said, we're giving these away. And the way we're giving you the way is Kevin sent this to us. And we're going to take care of all the shipping and everything. So here it is. Eight for your team. And close is five. Quantity of the hack tablets in support of the CircuitPython Day giveaway. Coordinated with Tim Fovega. Thank you for your support on this hack. K-Match. So here, put that on the overhand. See, look at this. I didn't know what was going to be in this box. It could have been anything. It could have been squirrels. And then here's the hack tablets. All right, so let's show one off. Yeah, why don't you open up one. You can use the. OK, let's put it. Yeah, go to the overhead, and I'll carefully open one up. Yeah, you ready? Yep. OK, let's do it. OK, so take off my rubber band, and then I'll just carefully open. Well, we wrap this when it completes. OK, so this uses a Creston display and enclosure. And then we'll unwrap this. OK, ooh. OK, so this got a ESP32S3N8R8, which means it's got 8 megabytes of flash, 8 megabytes of PS RAM. And it needs that because this is plugged in and controls a 7-inch capacitive touch display. There's also, OK, there's a little thing. Welcome to hack tablet. This is using CircuitPython. They're going to try to get into the main branch. Kmatch signed it. This is genuine. Yeah. It's in color. And then maybe I can just quickly plug it in. I don't know if it's going to work, but you know what, I'm going to risk it, I guess. Only question is, I don't know how to. I'm learning to, but maybe I can just plug it into here. I don't know. You think maybe. I didn't expect that we would be powering it up there. Yeah, I don't need there. I'm sorry if I do something wrong. Well, lit up. Something's happening. Something's happening. Oh. Oh. Whoa. Look at that. As you can tell, we completely didn't plan this. Look at this. This is great. So someone is definitely going to get one of these, for sure. Yeah, I don't think the touchscreen does any. Oh, it does. If I can, whoa, that's kind of fun. Yeah, isn't that cool? All right. Yeah, this is super fun. So do you want one of these? Yes. And you can get it for free, right? Circuit Python Day is one we'll be giving these away. So that's what you want. Circuit Python Day. All right. Thank you so much, Kmatch, and Fomy Guy, for getting the word out on these. And thank you to the Circuit Python community that's making all this possible together. And that is this week's Python on Hardware. Don't forget, you can get this newsletter delivered every single week to your inbox. You can also look at it on the website if you don't want to do that. And it's at Adafruit Daily. We made a completely separate site because we don't want anything connected to your store account because we don't like spam either. We don't spam you anywhere. But this made it super duper clear this is completely separate just for newsletters. OK, I've got to put this carefully back into this bag. That out-of-the-box demo with the hack tablet was better than my first iPod. My first iPod didn't work out of the box. Good working, Kmatch. OK.
