# CircuitPython Weekly April 15th, 2019
Video of the meeting is available [on YouTube](https://youtu.be/tN2kQx1lZMo) and [on diode.zone](https://diode.zone/videos/watch/b6a959c6-1b53-4930-aebd-0c8b25c8072c)

Join here for the chat all week: http://adafru.it/discord

The weekly happens normally at 2pm ET/11am PT on Mondays. Check the #circuitpython channel for notices of change in time and links to past episodes.

CircuitPython development is sponsored by Adafruit. Please support them by purchasing hardware from adafruit.com.

Reminders: Podcast available on most services. Let us know if we’re missing some.

## 21:42 Status Updates

26:50 @brentru
* Last Week:
   * Published PyPortal LIFX Light Controller Guide
   * Published CircuitPython Hue, a module for simple control of Philips Hue Lights
      * https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Hue
   * Some CircuitPython Adafruit IO PRs, https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_AdafruitIO/pulls:
      * Added an API coverage test suite to Adafruit IO CircuitPython to test against API or core library changes
      * Bugfix for HTTP Requests not being closed correctly.
   * Closed out a few circuitpython MCP3xxx issues this morning
* This Week:
   * Finish up PyPortal Philips Hue Controller
   * RFM Hacking on a 915mhz weather station, want to get it working with RFM69. Ran into an issue since the weather station returns 88 bytes, RFM69 can only process <88b at a time. Unsure if I’ll get it working with CircuitPython, I’d like to though.
   * Start “Adafruit IO Basics: CircuitPython" guide - supporting ESP32SPI and Adafruit IO CircuitPython.

28:40 @charlesburnaford
* Starting another little project in reference to musical instruments - mini keyboard with 32 keys on it. An issue is accessing interrupt registers on the mcp23017, decided to wire them to pins and then poll the pins every pass through the main loop.


29:40 @danh
* Fixed some 4.0 bugs
* Updated UF2 bootloader to incorporate Microsoft-diagnosed-and-fixed MacOS 10.14.4 USB enumeration problem.
* Diagnosed 30-second restart problems on Itsy Bitsy M4 (Watch Dog Timer enabled). Added repairing fuse settings to bootloader to fix these.
* Released new bootloader binaries.
* To do:
   * Write bootloader update instructions to be shared among many Learn Guides.
   * Investigate Windows 10 USB enumeration problems
   * Investigate display brightness flickering due to recent PWMOut changes.


34:14 @deshipu
* Made GamePadShift for handling buttons on PyBadge and ported Stage library to displayio, so now it should work on any board.
* Still need to try DMA transfers for Stage.


35:50 @DrewFustini
* Blinka looking at why SPI wasn’t working with Pocket Beagle, and found regression for BBB. 2 PRs got merged. Now for BBB and PB, SPI is working, tested with sensors and OLEDs.
* The person who added support for PB, Stephan Kreuger to test, then will close it out.

   * Finished AD8495 guide - awaiting final moderation on that.
   * Completed requested sections of ESP32SPI guide
   * Created fritzing objects for ESP32SPI, ESP32 Airlift Breakout
   * Attempted to create fritzing objects for monochrome eInk displays, ran into issues.
   * Started rework of EPD guide to include usage of all eInk form factors and types
   * Updated epd_simpletest to include all displays, and rearranged pins to allow for use on more MCUs
   * Worked on PyCon example content
* This week:
   * Sort fritzing objects for mono eInk displays, complete those

   * Finish rework of EPD guide - including adding mention of required font file
   * Deprecate requested guide
   * Add content to two boards on cpy.org - the PyCon 2018 and PyCon 2019 boards
   * Get PR in for PyCon content. Will definitely want help testing this - there are a lot of examples!
   * Continued PyCon prep
   * Consider filing issues for Good First Issues from the library report?

* Last Week:
   * adabot
      * Built a script for updating library information on circuitpython.org's future Libraries page. JSONifies a list of new/updated libraries, as well as open issues. The only piece left depends on the answer to how auto-update (commit vs PR); then deploy.
* This Week:
   * PDMIn: continue tweaking the sinc filter
   * adabot: start mocking up some concepts for GitHub API v4 implementation.


22:25 @tannewt
* Bug squishing
   * Display argument validation
