 It's time for Blinka what's going on in the news of Circuit Python absolutely nothing happened this week Yeah, tons of happy way too much happens headlines kind of write themselves. So Okay Circuit Python snakes this way to new Raspberry Pi Pika board. So we have a build But I think the bigger story Aside from just circuit Python Being on this board is the fact that out of all the choices out of all the things What is Raspberry Pi going with? Python on hard work that's what shift with not Arduino support. Although that is coming Yeah, Arduino notes are gonna do some support But there is a big shift and this is what you know, this is that way what we wanted to catch And also where where everyone was saying like oh, this is what's gonna happen with the processor speeds the capabilities and Just being able to take your code and move it around If you think about it's kind of neat you can run the same code on a Raspberry Pi Linux computer as you can on a Pico. That's right And you know, you could take our circuit Python stuff point and run it in both places correct and it just works I did even a demo of that. I tried a sensor worked both ways. Of course. It's just a Wi-Fi and Linux But it is cool. It's a new chip from the Pi Foundation They also released a board the chip isn't quite available in raw quantities yet, but you can get these boards We had some in stock. We had a couple thousand. We've been selling them over the last week I think we're out now Sign up to get notified if you want more. So why don't you keep scrolling and we'll see what else happens Yeah, so that's the big news and if this was a another week Well, I'll get to the other new story that I thought was pretty big But the circuit Python beta just came out. So if you're looking for support for those RP 2040 boards specifically like if you want to run a Pico, we got it Also for the ESP 32 s2, there's some new things that you can check out A lot of bug fixes and tweaks, you know, we're going through and fixing stuff But yeah, the RP 2040 is big and then if you're you know, we're adding more boards as well Yeah, we also got a guide. We have a guide getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico and circuit Python and then a few other odds and ends You can Check out some of the feedback that we got people are you know instantly downloading stuff trying it out The Pimeroni Pico keyboard running LEDs with Adafruit.star circuit Python library. Yep Works immediately yeah with MIDI and HID of course micro Python got you know was released. That's the main Programming language for this board just like Python is the main language for the Raspberry Pi There's a book will even show off the book that book just came out and people are starting to use it They're like trying it out. We designed an itsy bitsy Sorry, we designed itsy bitsy a feather a cutie pie and a zero Scott did a deep dive and Blinka is in space. Yeah, I wanted to spend a little bit of time on this So this has been going on for a while and this is actually from the NASA site So there is circuit Python in space now we could say for sure this is happening check out the press release Check out the news from NASA The VRX mission uses a swarm of these little satellites To demonstrate new technologies for radio networking and navigation. They're known as CubeSats and it'll be launched They they launched sorry this past Sunday board a space X Falcon 9 and so now we can say Circuit Python snakes its way to space Circuit Python snakes its way to space X And even saw it go off because it launched from my coming news. That's kind of cool Yeah, and you can check out the Pi Cube board You can check out the space X right here program kind of funny and you can check out the satellite information from NASA You can check out all the other stuff Yeah, I think if you look here, this is Anne's photo and saw this launch on Sunday morning So cool, and that's kind of neat Inside there is circuit Python So you can check out the other projects This is neat. This was a neat fiber optic Paraboloid made with teensy and circuit Python Here's the state vaccinations Other samd boards. They all run circuit Python the build your own mechanical keyboard that includes Love these custom keyboards. Yeah, that includes a itsy-vitsy This is a Kickstarter that already the person was on our Kickstarter, and they already got funded. Yay Here's a wireless keyboard that runs circuit Python. Here's joey's project with the yeah, so that last week Yeah, there's a lot of stuff this week. There is a lot going on and you can kind of see Here's another neat example definitive guide attaching sensors Raspberry Pi Uses compatibility layer called Blinka for circuit Python. You did your Blinka talk with The Linux linux Australia. Oh my god. Yeah. No wonder this week felt like a year. This has been a long week And you can check out the rest of the libraries on learn guides. We are now up to 200 And 92 we're almost up to 300 libraries All that and more check out what our team is doing upcoming events And that is our Python on hardware news for the week. Whoo Blinka keeps bringing it. Yeah Okay
