 Okay, Blanca. What's new this week? All right So two things this week What I usually do. I'm gonna quickly show the newsletter is a monster in a good way So we have our circuit python 7 alpha 6 release do check it out. You can look at all the Editions since 7.0 Sign up check that out already talked about the Halloween hack fest Tom's hardware reviewed the macro pad and gave it outstanding. It's a Tom. It's editor's choice Oh, and so it's the ultimate DIY keypad. We're seeing a lot of people do cool stuff with it. Thanks, Tom last week We did um, yeah, I wonder I guess we is that Tom the editor It's his hardware. I should find out and see who is Tom. I wonder if it's like my spacer is a guy in the background Yeah, friend. Yeah, I'm your buddy. I don't even remember My control last week we Showed it was like breaking news It was staroids. I think that's what it's called and it's all the different ways you can use one code dot pi file across all these different boards different screens, which is unheard of in Devices and electronics and so we got that going on with over four different processors So you can run same everything. You don't have to do anything different Drop the code on and it just runs across nrf52840 rp2040 cmd51 esp32 s2 and I think there's STMs. Yeah Whatever whatever chips teen c4 anything that's supported by circuit python. It's consistent. It's the same. All right I'm gonna show a video in a second and then We've been talking about air quality here to fruit a bunch because we have all these co2 monitors and we've been keeping From the very beginning of last year because we were in a central business. We were still Back before vaccines and everything we were working we had mass on but we wanted to make sure we had the best Air quality and circulation and fresh air coming in And so It's always good to see these projects because I think a lot of people are starting to do it It isn't is a way to see how good the air is a great project for kids in school It's like it's you know, it's very easy We have a lot of really easy air quality monitor projects and they're not expensive and you can learn About science and like co2 it's used for air quality. But it's also used for environmental science and for greenhouse and agricultural science with they're being smoked and You name it that's going in the air and then that's the outside and then when you're inside You want to make sure the co2 levels are low because it means there's less people and Not having a bunch of people indoors right now is a good idea. Yeah. Um, so anyways, uh Check that one out and all the rest of the stuff In the newsletter, hardware keyboards, but this week I picked one thing each week and this week I picked this this is Um, I'm going to do the narration over this. This is a uh person who does mmo's And they said hey, I knew this would be perfect for my mmo hockey. So this person Uh, they use a controller. So it's nice and they showed all the shortcuts. So as they um Click the buttons you can see Oh for emotes. What a great idea. It's just usually like a pain to type in and they noticed that it's Easy to use with circuit mython and the person said I still have some adjustments to make Two colors and different shortcuts available, but I like it so far. So they were able to put this together really fast and um you can see how uh With the knob you can select different things for each layer and they said this is pretty easy for uh, Is it up easy for me? Uh These keycaps are from an old keyboard They're gonna get nicer ones and so this project will continue on. I'm so happy. I really you know the macro pad it kind of It's one of those things where I was a little worried because it kind of does one thing But turns out that one thing is something that people really want. So I think it's cool that You know, I I don't play fawn fancy online. It looks super fun. I definitely don't have time for that um And uh, I look like these are for adobe and obs and streaming and and what a handy All in one tool and I love that they decorated it with these kooky caps as well And you know and learning about more code is fun. And that's how they close the video I I think that this is one of those times once again where I'm just gonna say There's gatekeepers in the world of electronics and they are terrified to see things like this because it's so easy And there's people that have never done coding that are people like, oh, that's not really coding. You just edited jason file How is that coding? It's like that's coding and and so and so this is the start and look at the tool that someone gets On like the most valuable real estate their desk And the thing that they care about and the thing that they do every day So I think that's one of the things like we we we definitely get um Uh snarked on because we're making things too easy, but we're not making things too easy We're just making things more accessible to people Easy is subjective. So anyways, so easy. All right, and that's python on herma this week Even a snake can do it. Okay, cool
