Special and very musical night last evening as @adafruit.com engineers Liz Clark & Noe Ruiz drop by and drop knowledge on #CircuitPython & MIDI. My @bostoncollege.bsky.social Physical Computing students were rocked! Huge thanks!

Coming Monday: @whykay.bsky.social joins the show and shares her start with computers, the early days of the Python community in Dublin, Ireland, and the Introduction to Python and Electronics workshop she co-teaches that uses #Circuitpython. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts

It’s so fun to teach Physical Computing at @bostoncollege. Last night was capacitive touch where students made living plants talk like Baby Groot when tapped, and accelerometers where they made magic wands and Goblets of Glory that play sound when tilted for a toast. All in #CircuitPython.

#Makerspace, #CircuitPython, and #ESP32 friends. I'm planning a 2 hr workshop for ESP32-S3s based on a Pico workshop I've given about a half-dozen times. You're free to use the slides & code. I'd also welcome comments / suggestions. Cheers. bit.ly/ESP32-S3-wor...

🙌 I can believe it was Coding Grace's penultimate session today of our Intro to #Python & #Electronics question series.

⚙️ From what was learnt from previous sessions, we challenged participants to interact w/ electronics on a breadboard with a #Pico using #CircuitPython. 🧵1/2

Sehr nette Leute und interessante Gespräch geführt.

Es wurde sogar interaktiv: wir haben einen Synthesizer mit #CircuitPython programmiert. Verrückte Retro Sounds 🫣 #pythoncamp

I’m thinking of switching from the Raspberry Pi Pico 2W to the ESP32-S3 N16R8 for my #CircuitPython #maker class. Any reason not to? Audio requires a DAC & more wiring but otherwise seems like a good choice. Any info on forthcoming Raspberry Pi microcontroller boards?

Built my own BirdBuddy with an ESP32-S3 and #CircuitPython. I'll be polishing this with full build tutorial, but proof of concept seems to work. youtu.be/HVIMTLtxEno?...

- Espressif ESP32-C5 support
- Many bug fixes and build infrastructure improvements

Going to be building a lot more #STEMed projects to display but here is a start. Touch to talk Groot, Magic Wand, Dinner Decider, Candy Slector, Medications Reminder all in #CircuitPython.

Been writing an Arduino library recently. Going through the grueling process just makes me appreciate #circuitpython that much more. 😮‍💨

#Maker educators, the slides for the first week of the @BostonCollege AI-centric Physical Computing course with #CircuitPython are up in the public Google Drive at bit.ly/PhysComp-cou.... First week lots of configuration & setup. We use Visual Studio Code & GitHib Copilot. #csed
