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

Bass MIDI Stomp Box

Bass MIDI pedals are a really popular DIY music project. They're used to control synths or other MIDI equipment with your feet while you're playing another instrument. Perfect for getting moody drones going during your solo shoegaze set. The build is housed in a pedal enclosure and uses a Raspberry Pi Pico 2, running CircuitPython, plugged into a Terminal PiCowbell for easy wiring with the foot switches.

ACEBOTT QD023 ESP32-based gesture control glove tracks finger movements with potentiometers

ACEBOTT QD023 is an ESP32-based wearable gesture control glove that tracks finger movements with potentiometers instead of more traditional flex sensors. The glove transmits data via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to control various robotics kits, such as bipedal walkers, mecanum-wheeled cars, and robotic arms. The glove integrates five potentiometers for finger bending detection, and a 6-axis MPU6050 IMU for wrist rotation, tilt, and hand posture detection in real time. Other Hardware features include a USB Type-C port for programming and debugging, four AAA batteries for power, buttons, LEDs, and more. Tutorials and assembly guides make it suitable for K-12 education, classrooms, and hobbyist robotics projects. ACEBOTT QD023 specifications: Wireless Module  – ESP32-WROOM-32D (soldered on the backside of the PCB) SoC –  ESP32 dual-core wireless microcontroller CPU – Dual-core Xtensa 32-bit microprocessor @ 240MHz Memory –  520KB internal SRAM Wireless – Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, and Bluetooth (4.2 and BLE) PCB antenna USB –

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!
