## 19:17 Status Updates
32:35 @brentr
Last Week:
* New Module: CircuitPython Azure IoT Module - connect your circuitpython device to a Microsoft Azure IoT Hub. Lots of possibilities when you integrate this with Azure’s services like machine learning, data analytics, etc.
* https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_AzureIoT/
* New Guide: Azure IoT with CircuitPython to make a plant monitor
* https://learn.adafruit.com/using-microsoft-azure-iot-with-circuitpython
* Non-CircuitPython: The ESP8266 now works with Adafruit IO Arduino without downgrading firmware anymore.
This Week:
* Building out a CircuitPython library for the ATECC608 cryptographic coprocessor.
* End goal would be generating a CSR, usable by AzureIoT or maybe Adafruit IO in the future.
* faster/more secure circuitpython IoT - even with CircuitPython_TinyLoRa.
@cater (LURKING)
@CGrover (LURKING)
@charlesburnaford (LURKING)
34:15 @danh
* Fixed HID library issue preventing negative mouse movements due to stricter CircuitPython bytearray value checking.
* Updating frozen libraries to update HID and other libraries.
* Added mechanism for per-language clean builds, needed for large translations.
* Moving BLE advertising data preparation to Python from C.
* Support work for bootloader problems.
* To do:
* Continue BLE work.
* CIrcuitPython variants refactoring: Maybe add flags to distinguish 192KB, 256KB, and full builds. Update documentation to match.
37:03 @docmollo (lurking)
* Based on code review with @kattni on the ESP32SPI library, going to refactor the connect() function into two functions. Due to work and the holiday this weekend, didn’t have time, so will be at least a week or two before I finish all the updates I’m working on.
37:26 @jerryn (LURKING)
* Back from travels - still trying to remember what I was doing before I left.
* Should be re-engaged this week.
37:37 @joseph
* Last couple of days: Atom Plugin
* This week: Holidays, time to revise
* Last couple of weeks: Exams
* Next couple of weeks: More exams
* After that: Summer holidays! Plenty of time to write all sorts of code.
19:57 @kattni
* Last week:
* PyGamer guide
* PyGamer fritzing object
* Moved!
* This week:
* Meeting wrap-up
* MCP9600 guide
* MCP9600 upload CAD files to GitHub
* Test CP lib
* Email… so much email.
* Review cp.org board PRs
* Blog posts for PyCon wrap-up
* Finalise cp.org/libraries and /contributing setup
@kingernorth
* (LURKING)
@LEDSquibs (Lurking)
22:51 @MakerMelissa:
* Last Week
* Typed up my notes for PyCon
* Worked on displaying fonts in more complicated language fonts
* Got my PyBadge Conference Badge guide in moderation
* Finished updating the SSD1331 guide
* Added a couple small image updates to SSD1351 guide
* Added enableDisplay() to ST77xx Arduino Library
* Tested similar functionality on HX8357 Display with Backlight
* Got Orange Pi R1 merged into Blinka Library
* Next Week
* Update Orange Pi guide with Orange Pi R1
* Work on guide for displayio using Breakouts and Shields
* Get CircuitPython Motor Library PR issue fixed
* Test Orange Pi R1 more Thoroughly
* Get enableDisplay() working on remaining Arduino Displays
@mikebarela (LURKING)
@Roy (LURKING)
24:56 @siddacious:
* Previously on Law & Order:
* Finished up version 1.0 of BD34 CP and Arduino drivers
* Sent out a board rev for the BD34
* Sent out a board to test a new OLED
* Finished the LPS34HW guide
* Wrote tester code for and designed the tester for the LPS35HW
* Next time on “siddacious does stuff”
* Neopixel connector widgets
* BD34 rev be assembly and driver work
* OLED testing
* Miscellaneous board, driver, and support work.
* Going to NY for the Five Points Festival with my wife, stopping by HQ to say hi
27:00 @sommersoft
* Last Week:
* Circuitpython-build-tools:
* Fixed PyPI deployment issue (that i created).
* Adabot:
* Fixed the non-.py file "missing sensorname" validator. However, there are still some inconsistencies that aren't easily fixed on the repo side:
* Multi-version libraries: e.g. `adafruit_ads1x15` has simpletests for different variants. I think the variants are a good thing. I can probably work around it with some regex + slicing…
* Dove into the "release notes documenting proper contributor" issue. Walking the code step by step in a terminal, it produces desired results.
* The issue may have been a one-off, but I can't explain it. Left the issue open for continued monitoring.
* Experiment: RosiePi
* Realized I was essentially re-creating the wheel, once I investigated `tests/` & `tools/cpboard.py` in the core. It was still a fun little exercise.
* I may move forward with it, but need to decide if it should live in the core vs external. My overall goal was to include physical testing, which is still not a thing:
* simple example: does `board.Dn` set to `digitalio->OUT/IN` actually produce expected behavior, as confirmed by say a MCP3008.
* super-duper-optimistic example: does `displayio` produce the expected image as verified by a PiCam & OpenCV/tesseractOCR/etc.
* This Week:
* Experiment: RosiePi
* Study current testing in the core, and try to formulate an approach to use on a RPi and expand CircuitPython's usage to physical testing.
* Look into writing a GitHub App for this. Seems simple enough; just need to work through the Ruby bits. if running this during PR checks would be desired, of course. otherwise...just for fun.
@TG-Techie:
* Last week of school, time to relax with some CP
* Fixes pure CP tricorder that was broken, convinced a friend to try a board
* Figuring out display rotation with locations of objects on the screen
## 38:36 In The Weeds
@TG-Techie:
* We now have displayio for displays; any talk about a universal touch library? Interested but want to avoid reinventing the wheel
* Sommersoft: Maybe could fall into touchio
* Dan: Touchio is for lower level, more for directly handling pins.
* Charles: Atmel q-touch libs are what was referenced regarding handling touch currently in touchio. Most touch screens already have drivers built in, so they wouldn’t likely work directly with touchio
* TG: Has and idea to abstract turning user interactions into events that can be handled, Dan would like to see a proposal
## 45:28 Wrap-Up
