Paul CutlerWith The CircuitPython Show coming back from hiatus, are there any makers or coders doing cool stuff with <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CircuitPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CircuitPython</a> that I should reach out to? I'm always on the lookout for more guests. @ me, DM me or drop me an email - paul at paulcutler dot org.

Alan Miller :verified_paw: 🇺🇦Huh. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/til" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#til</a> that a) TI makes a calculator that runs <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> code, b) <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CircuitPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CircuitPython</a> is a thing - and it's from adafruit, though that's in part their packaging of MicroPython, c) my wondering which version it's based on is probably completely silly (or stupid) seeing as how Python 3 has been around longer than any kids likely to be using Python on "approved for school" devices like calculators (or at least longer than they've been using calculators)

Would love to hear how, your experience, project ideas. Thinking of applying for a grant for more AI tools but want to limit to Pico & other CircuitPython microcontroller boards rather than full blown Raspberry Pi OS boards.

anecdataThe Pimoroni Pico Plus 2W (left) is the main microcontroller in this config, but it is getting power from the WIZnet W5500-EVB-Pico2 (right) via its WIZPoE-P1 module. The two Pico boards are attached via an <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@adafruit" class="u-url mention">@adafruit</a> "Proto Doubler PiCowbell".The W5500-EVB-Pico2 can run it's own code independently, even talk to the Pico Plus 2W or other external devices (except for the pins needed for Ethernet).<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/circuitpython" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#circuitpython</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/microcontrollers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#microcontrollers</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#networking</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PythonOnHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PythonOnHardware</a>

anecdataHow to turn a $13 WIZnet W5500-EVB-Pico2 into a $5 Ethernet HAT.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@circuitpython" class="u-url mention">@circuitpython</a> can use both native wifi and Ethernet with this config, power and data with only an Ethernet cable (plus data over wifi).The W5500-EVB-Pico2 is essentially just being used as an SPI Ethernet peripheral to the Pico Plus 2W (and to power the Pico Plus 2W).<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/circuitpython" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#circuitpython</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/microcontrollers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#microcontrollers</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#networking</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PythonOnHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PythonOnHardware</a>

River WangI'll taken a day off from my day job this Thursday to develop a critical new feature for the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CircuitPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CircuitPython</a> Online IDE. Can you guess what it is? Stay tuned for the version release later this week!
