I created this tide clock using 3 8x8 LED bi-color panels and an #ESP32 Featherwing running #CircuitPython. Each hour of the day is represented horizontally with the LED representing the current hour in yellow. Just after midnight it refreshes with the new chart for the day from NOAA.

circfirm v5 is now out, now officially supporting Python 3.14! Also updated the dependencies and added Dependabot to that end.

Easily manage and install #CircuitPython firmware versions onto your development boards from command line!

The CircuitPython Show returns this Monday with guest John Ellis! #circuitpython #podcasts #macropad

Season 7 of The CircuitPython Show returns this Monday, Feburary 9th #circuitpython #podcasts

It’s the Yoto Mini running #CircuitPython 🐍 guide soon

newest guide for adafruit is a bass midi stomp box. this was a really fun build! i got to drill an enclosure, put together a 9V guitar pedal power supply to power the pico 2 inside and of course midi #circuitPython

Researching a future podcast episode by playing Pac-Man on an Adafruit Fruit Jam, written in #CircuitPython. Sometimes podcast research is fun!

Doing some planning for season 7 of The CircuitPython Show. Know any cool #CircuitPython projects or makers I should reach out to? I'm always on the lookout for more guests - let me know!

I get that feeling that CircuitPython is doing a bit banged SPI port rather than using the hardware SPI port. I say that because at 10MHz it should be able to write an entire 320 x 240 display at 24 bits per pixel as less than 200mS. But it's taking like a second and a half.

Want to alpha test a quiz platform to accompany videos for my #CircuitPython course? See: https://johngallaugher.com. It was created by Theo Utomo, A TA for my Swift course (although not written in Swift). Quizzes are for the first few lessons of https://bit.ly/circuitpython-school. There is a feedback link on these pages where you can send a note to Theo re: any suggestions or issues you've found with the experience. I'm sure he'd also appreciate a kind word of encouragement, too. Thanks!

Some of my @bostoncollege.bsky.social Physical Computing students delivering their #CircuitPython based assistive tech projects to their clients in the BC Campus School. I’m so lucky to work with such wonderful young people. https://www.instagram.com/p/DTljI53jW9h/?img_index=9&igsh=MWFkZ21xdDB2c215Yg== #csed #assistivetech

Makers holding up their newly distributed CircuitPlayground Bluefruit boards on the 1st day of the semester. #CircuitPython hacking begins.

Monday morning is when I get distracted by the projects and other info in the @adafruit Python on Microcontrollers newsletter, which is so much more than just Python on Microcontrollers! If you have any interest in microcontrollers and fun projects, it is definitely worth signing up for it.

New #CircuitPython School lesson introduces key concepts: variable naming conventions, print & input for maker / electronics debugging, & AI code completion in PyCharm w/helpful & incorrect results. Also: Using AI for CircuitPython code explanations w/prompting examples. https://youtu.be/-wIqy7drCN8 #CSed

I wrote a bit about what I did with CircuitPython in 2025 and what I plan to do in 2026.

Good luck #CSed faculty prepping for next semester. Show me your maker closets! Here's the cart with many (although not all) of the parts I use for PhysicalComputing: Art, Robotics, and Tech for Good - the #CircuitPython course I teach accessible from new-to-code through advanced CS students.

Irgendwas stimmt da mit dem Gyro #MPU6886 des M5STack Atom nicht. Selbst mit #CircuitPython schwankt die Temperatur zu stark:
