Retrospective: Adventures with CircuitPython (WHY2025)

I used CircuitPython (but could have also used MicroPython as well, so this is not about A vs. B) to implement various smart-home related projects. I will present some of my projects and also dive into what Python has to offer for (personal, not corporate-style) embedded devices (and the development process). 1) Introduction - My (past) smart-home setup - Moonshot: my future smart-home setup 2) Projects - Thermal printer(s) - RFID scanners - Media controls - Family calendar 3) Circuitpython - Ups and downs - Circuitpython on various Microcontrollers: real-life 4) Conclusion Licensed to the public under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ about this event: https://program.why2025.org/why2025/talk/M3GWAJ/
