## 3:14 Community News
Happy 8th Birthday MicroPython!
MicroPython turned 8 years old on April 29th. That day in 2013 was when Damien wrote the first line of code (in private, before anyone knew about it, before it was even called MicroPython). Now MicroPython is used on many different types of microcontrollers and single board computers (SBC) in both educational and commercial platforms. Vetrsion 1.15 was just released two weeks ago with some great new features.
Adafruit sponsors MicroPython on GitHub
Adafruit has stocked the [official MicroPython PyBoards](https://www.adafruit.com/?q=pyboard&sort=BestMatch) from Damien for a while. They have also made direct donations to MicroPython to support Damien’s work, as well as make and share contributions based on the CircuitPython core on MicroPython. Now, with GitHub sponsors, Adafruit just provided a $5k sponsorship. The MicroPython goal is $5k a month in sponsors, so 1 full month is on Adafruit. If you use MicroPython, [please consider sponsoring](https://github.com/sponsors/micropython) a monthly or one-time gift as well. Companies / orgs can now sponsor, so this was Adafruit sponsoring.

Overall: We finally saw our oldest library PR to completion! Thanks to s-light for the perseverance through so many library changes over that time. I’m excited to see the documentation updates and older issues/PRs being picked up. Thank you to everyone who has been contributing to the libraries. And thank you to our newest reviewers for joining the team!

## 24:06 Status Updates
@anecdata (lurking)
35:00 @CGrover: (text only)
* Successfully implemented algebraic and ulab-based bilinear interpolation methods for CircuitPython (with lots of help from @David.Glaude and @v923z on the ulab version). Tested with 8x8 -> 15x15 thermal array image on PyPortal. The implementation needed all of the PyPortal’s 256k memory and 120 million Hertzes.
* Developed “analog” iron spectrum, grayscale, and visible spectrum to RGB converter helpers. Input is a floating point spectral value from 0.0 to 1.0; output is a 24-bit RGB tuple.
* Continued development of dual load cell espresso scale. Developed PyBadge/Gamer, Clue, and Portal versions.
* Next:
* Finish 2x Thermal Camera port to PyPortal
* Submit PR for invisible displayio touchscreen buttons
* Submit PR to change default of adafruit.motor.dc_motor from coasting mode to braking mode.
* Complete DRV8830 I2C motor controller breakout PCB design and first version of device driver.
* Unrelated -- wrap up the final few of the 50+ illustrations before the book publishing deadline next week
36:25 @danh
* Finished dynamic USB descriptors. Tested in a variety of ways. PR is under review. It is bigger and I need to make space.
* Removed PWMOut from pulseio for 7.0.0.
* Removed pulseio on smaller boards to make room for dynamic USB. The only significant loss is that the DHT library depends on PulseIn. A special-purpose small module for DHT would therefore appear to be a good idea.
* Re-investigate replacing
* I plan to do some bug hunting for 6.2.x and 7.0.0.
39:19 @David.Glaude (text only)
* Checking with @CGrover the options for thermal camera with interpolation (see in the weeds for idea, but does not need discussion)
* Testing bilinear x2 x3 x4 image enhancement using ulib array slice and simple arithmetic (based on @v923z code) on “Mini SAM M4” and “Circuit Playground Bluefruit”
* Checking memory vs speed and various way to limit temporary matrix with ulab
* Thermal camera with bilinear x4 (and x5) interpolation + pixel doubling with DisplayIO: https://twitter.com/DavidGlaude/status/1388993353191145472?s=20
* Non CP: Got my first vaccine dose (with unusual sleep time in the next two days)
40:10 @dherrada
* Funhouse IOT hub
* Finals :(
* Auto-reload in serial console: why?
41:36 @foamyguy
* Last Week
* Worked on requirement library screenshot maker to be more automated and easier to integrate with CI. It can now run on all Learn Guide projects at once and the generated screenshots include all of the project files as well as all required libraries
* Seperated a few of the widgets into their own new repos in the circuitpython org.
* Hooked up readthedocs for all of the repos that have been created so far in circuitpython org, and made initial PyPi releases for all of them.
* Needed to learn about ReactJS and a specific design editor library for work. Practiced by building a server that allows a PyPortal to be synced with it and lets user design pages and save them. The screen on the PyPortal will refresh automatically to show new versions of the page.
* This week
* Stream for a bit tonight on Twitch to show the working version of the PyPortal design editor server and make a few more enhancements.
* Move more of the widgets into their new homes in the circuitpython org. Have a few quick questions in the weeds to get clarification before we get too many of them done.
* Update some learn guides that need references to busio.I2C changed to board.I2C
44:54 @hierophect
* Last week
* Merged the NRF52 Power
* Finished RP2040 PinAlarm
* Worked out RP2040 sleep bugs
* Got started on supervisor bug

* Merging 1.13 is started. 99 files left to merge.
* Working with Trev on getting the iOS side of BLE workflow going using the test Python code.
* Working on slides for Python Language Summit next week
## 46:56 In The Weeds
47:16 @kmatch -
Is it planned that the github->circuitpython org libraries show up on the “contributing + PRs + open issues” page?
50:22 @foamyguy
Is there a prefix that should be used for circuitpython org repos?
Will the circuitpython org repos have their own bundle? Or be included in one of the existing bundles? Is it possible to make the project bundler aware of them so they can still get included in the project bundle downloads?
Does anything need to be done with these lines in .pylintrc that cookie cutter generates:
```
# notes=FIXME,XXX,TODO
notes=FIXME,XXX
```
58:20 @David.Glaude (mic test else text only):
This does not need discussion, but maybe we need (or it exist) a guide that compare MCU on Feather on criteria like: memory, speed, specs, ...
Checking with @CGrover the options (and our stock) for thermal camera with interpolation:
* Requirement: screen, Stemma, memory, processing power, ...
* Build in screen: CLUE, PyGamer, PyPortal, … => easy to reproduce
* Custom:
* Flexible screen: TFT FeatherWing, FeatherWing Keyboard, ...
* Best MCU in Feather format:
* FeatherS2: a lot of memory and speed
* Feather RP2040: memory but no/slow floating
