Deep Dive w/Scott: Recap and

I’m sponsored by Adafruit to work on CircuitPython. Support them, and by extension me, by purchasing hardware from https://adafruit.com Chat with me and lot of others on the Adafruit Discord at https://adafru.it/discord. Deep Dive happens every week. Normally Fridays at 2pm Pacific but occasionally shifted to Thursday at 2pm. Typically goes for two hours or more. Questions are welcome. Next week will be on Friday as well. 0:00 Getting started and hellos 0:04:44 It is 2 01 - welcome and Housekeeping 0:08:27 Circuit Python 2022 introduction - long term direction 0:09:30 documented purchasable kits for kids/teens (see learn guides, adaboxes, shopping gift guides) 0:13:21 What is the underlying OS in Circuit Python ( ESP IDF build on Free RTOS) 0:14:40 Does CP ( Circuit Python ) on Arduino 0:15:08 Is the Raspberry Pi 2W SD card image working if you flash it from scratch? 0:16:10 Pull requests #5800 (initial Pi Zero support) https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/5800 0:17:36 ESP-32 (not supported) see ESP-32 S2 and S3 0:18:15 conferences ?

( not yet) 0:43:44 twitch - best board to get started with CP 0:45:50 Pico at the top of the Downloads page since the beginning! 0:46:10 Low power 0:46:55 BLE WiFi provisioning 0:47:20 Should the old ESP32 regain support now that there is a BLE workflow? (hope so) 0:48:45 is it possible to run (execute) another .py file before code.py? ( boot.py runs before USB is active ) 0:51:18 Circuitpython 2022 - look at 2021 0:51:55 is that HDMI? how do you change the resolution on RPi? 0:58:00 tiny logic analyzer project… 1:05:30 how to run something besides code.py 1:12:13 Are there any plans to support different pictures/graphics types (PNG, JPG, SVG) other than BMP? in CP? 1:15:50 Could auto parse settings.toml at boot and pass as environment variable 1:17:15 TOML toms markup language 1:26:40 TOML has comments 1:27:00 Would there be a way to have one RP2040 firmware and have board variations that do not require their own firmware? Like a config file or something small that just include the variation between board? 1:33:00 Bryans rules for good documentation 1:34:41 CP 2022 kickoff post / 2021 at https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/01/15/tannewts-focus-for-circuitpython2021/ 1:42:15 - the chip shortage causes CP to be flexible 1:44:02 Round LED screen ? 1:48:56 Love to hear your thoughts on CP 2022 - email [email protected] Or https://blog.adafruit.com/2022/01/01/circuitpython-in-2022-circuitpython2022-circuitpython/ 1:52:35 https://wa-law.org/ 1:54:30 slack for repair.org https://www.repair.org/ 1:55:05 ​I'd like to see the option to choose "CPY" with and without OTA partitioning... I get asked all the time why my boards that have 4MB of flash only have 900k available in the FS in CPY. 1:59:44 calling it a day - next week CP 2022 2:00:53 MP (will be very soon) uf2 friendly. so just drag MP onto UF2 like CPY! No more stomping CPY with MPY ! 2:01:30 Cat cam 2:02:02 Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------
