We want your #Python on hardware, #MicroPython, and #CircuitPython projects and news for the Python on Hardware newsletter! @kattni and I are filling in for Anne for the next few weeks and we have big shoes to fill.

Got a cool project or news story? @ me here on Mastodon or email cpnews at adafruit.com - and don't forget a picture or two!

Update your #flow3rbadge to firmware 1.3.0 and get Petal Hero from the app store - it's OUT NOW! Comes with 5 songs bundled, but you can extend it with songs for #FretsOnFire and other similar rhythm games. Here you can see me playing Jono Bacon's version of the Free Software Song - though I do better when not in front of the camera 😂 @flow3rbadge #flow3r #CCCamp23 #37c3 #micropython

Petal Hero, a rhythm game of the likes of Guitar Hero or Frets on Fire, being played on a CCCamp23's flow3r badge. The notes are flowing from the outside of its circular screen into the middle, and the player touches flow3r's petals rhythmically in order to match the song. Colorful LEDs shine up in the process.

Achievement unlocked: #MicroPython running on the #Playdate!

One step closer to running PewPew games.

isziaui, 15 days ago to Playdate

Success! The first unmodified #MicroPython PewPew games running on a #Playdate!

On a Playdate, the PewPew application is launched. On 8×8 hatched pixels it shows the PewPew game selection menu, from which games “snake”, “maze3d”, and “othello” are each played for a short time.

easytarget, 1 month ago to Fonts

Working on a #micropython project that uses a small display?

Disappointed by a lack of #fonts for them?

Presenting:
https://github.com/easytarget/microPyEZfonts

A hundred fonts in various flavors and sizes, plus a small and simple to use font writer to go with them.

Time for some #retrocomputing to celebrate 25 years of #LEGO #MINDSTORMS! Anyone remember the RCX from 1998?

Coded with #Pybricks #MicroPython!

Looking forward to hanging with @andypiper this coming Wednesday on https://nickyt.live!

We're going to discuss making, IoT messaging (MQTT), MicroPython and Mastodon!

Looking forward to having some fun with hardware!

@jimmo announced that with the next MicroPython version v1.21, the u-prefix will be removed from MicroPython modules. This makes it much easier to share code with CPython and CircuitPython:

#MicroPython v1.21 has been released!

Congrats - and thanks! - to the team and everyone involved. 😊

I upgraded my #childhood #lego #train to use #Pybricks #MicroPython. It stops at train stations now. No rail loops required. The passengers are happy about this --- considering they've been asleep like that for about 20 years...

MicroPython v1.20.0 on 2023-04-26; Raspberry Pi Pico W with RP2040

Yup: 300 days after the release of the Raspberry Pi Pico W, it gets its first official MicroPython release.

Watch out, I'm a hardware designer now! My first board is here and it works!

Super happy with the "ambient light" effect:) There's one LED shining at the back into the hand, and another behind the screen, giving the impression of light passing through the PCB. Quite mesmerizing.

I still need to put side LEDs on (one for each of the touch pads), but those tiny SK6812-4020 turned out to be way beyond my amazing soldering skills 😅

Whee! #MicroPython on #RaspberryPiPico just got #USB device support!

It's very preliminary, and only in the nightly builds so far

Next step of the #Pybricks #MicroPython powered trains! Now they coordinate departure wirelessly.

It's a decentralized consensus mechanism built with #LEGO.

It’s alive! @GurgleApps Word Clock - super fun little timekeeper for my desk at the studio. #raspberrypi #maker #micropython

A working word clock. The words “half three” are lit up on a grid of letters. A 3D printed Open Source Hardware logo is standing next to it.

JensHannemann, 1 month ago to random

Success. I got my two #CANPico boards to communicate with each other using #MicroPython. The logic analyzer was able to pick up the data from the wire. Thanks, @kentindell for an awesome framework. Next up: hooking everything up to a Toyota Camry.
