+# CircuitPython Weekly for 22 April 2019
+Video is available here [on YouTube](https://youtu.be/1JOlsN4dEYw).
+
+
+Join here for the chat all week: https://adafru.it/discord
+
+
+The weekly happens normally at 2pm ET/11am PT on Mondays. Check the #circuitpython channel on Discord for notices of change in time and links to past meetings.
+
+
+CircuitPython development is sponsored by Adafruit. Please support them by purchasing hardware from https://adafruit.com.
+
+
+Reminders: Podcast available on most services. Let us know if we’re missing some.
+## 3:40 Community News
+PyCon - The thousands of boards are done and on the way! https://youtu.be/jdoelAIf8Nk 
+  
+
+
+
+EduBlocks update - went live today, includes CircuitPython mode: https://edublocks.org/
+learn.adafruit.com has a new feature, any product ID has all the guides associated with it, for example, the PyPortal is product ID 4116, here are all the guides - https://learn.adafruit.com/products/4116/guides
+
+
+In the news - HackSpace issue #18 has a TON of CircuitPython articles / projects, including a 6 page getting starter - https://hackspace.raspberrypi.org/issues/18 (PDF download). AND 2600 has a PyPortal project.
+
+
+Hug reports to everyone here, team working on CPXs for PyCon and Digi-Key!

+Overall: In terms of the core, we’re still working diligently towards release candidate. Any testing is greatly appreciated, please file an issue on the CircuitPython repo if you find any bugs. In terms of the libraries, it’s exciting to see many new contributors and new libraries. The more hardware support we can provide for CircuitPython, the better, and libraries are a huge part of that. Thank you to everyone who has been involved with both the core and the libraries - all of your contributions make CP what it is, and we greatly appreciate everything you do!

+## 24:23 Status Updates
+
+
+36:50 @brentru
+* Last week:
+   * Published PyPortal Hue, and the CircuitPython Philips Hue Library last week
+   * Started integrating AirLift support into Adafruit IO libraries, CircuitPython works. Blocked on arduino due to how arduino compiles header files.
+      * Adafruit IO Basics: AirLift guide soon!
+* This week:
+   * Working on some JP pyportal code
+   * Possibly a particle guide if I don’t unblock on the arduino work. 
+
+
+@cater - lurking
+
+
+37:44 @cgrover
+* Wrapped up testing for range slicer, sent off for PCB and first stencil
+* Digikey order arrives with parts today and PCBs later :(
+* OLED frame buffer work with XY plotter lib
+* Posted cool demo in channel
+* Protoped pcb DAC and found new 16-bit dual DAC 
+* Working with CP is an obsession :), especially with PyPortal
+* Someone installed nest and started checking out NEST API to allow weather station to show stats while in the workshop
+
+
+40:10 @charlesburnaford
+* Still working on 61 key keyboard, got it sorta working but trying to poll interrupts but it’s still a bit flakey, possibly due to init issues
+
+
+40:57 @danh
+* Reviewed and tested many PR’s
+* Filesystem testing during program execution
+* Working on UF2 bootloader issues with SMART drive status requests
+* BLE UART write fix in progress
+* To do:
+   * Continue working on bootloader SMART issues
+   * Metro nRF52840 board definition
+
+
+42:28 @deshipu
+* Tried using async DMA with stage/µgame, the speed gains are minimal (31 fps vs. 32 fps)
+* Working on a CP board with mono OLED display. Submitted it to hackaday prize
+
+
+@jasonp - lurking
+
+
+43:34 @jerryn
+* Most of my time went into deploying the “Waving Man” “Deer Deterrent Device”
+   * Control and monitoring via AIO.
+   * Owner is impressed, waiting to see what the deer think
+* Tested out @brentr PyPortal Hue Controller - worked well.
+   * Lots to learn about the control options in the Hue API.
+* Spent a lot of time updating Raspberry Pis …. Got way behind.
+   * I have gotten really good at getting “binka” installed on a fresh system ;-)
+* Not much planned this week -- mostly “GrandPa” time for the next week or so. 
+
+
+25:50 @kattni
+* Last week:
+   * Fritzing objects: 1.54”/2.13” monochrome eink, eink friend, AirLift Lite
+   * Continued on updating eink guide - added wiring diagrams, updated code
+   * Continued work on the circuitpython.org/libraries page
+   * Continued prep for PyCon - organised and began packing eq for Open Spaces/Sprints
+* This week:
+   * Library Monday!
+   * Finalise circuitpython.org/libraries
+   * Finish eink guide.
+   * Deprecate requested guide.
+   * Next up: Metro AirLift guide
+   * Ordered displays for PyCon sprints
+   * Continued PyCon prep:
+      * Get PR in with PyCon Open Spaces code content
+      * Write up content for tutorial
+      * Finish organising and packing Open Spaces/Sprints eq
+      * Get Quick Start worksheet printed
+      * Start organising and packing the various other PyCon kit
+
+
+@KingerNorth: lurking
+
+
+28:33 @MakerMelissa
+* Last week:
+   * Arduino Display Stuff
+   * Setup RTD for a bunch of displayio drivers
+   * Worked on displayio Guide
+   * Got a list of displays ready for PyCon
+* This week:
+   * More Arduino Display Stuff
+   * displayio Guide Work
+   * Finish getting displayio drivers added to Bundle
+   * RA8875 CP driver updates
+
+
+29:33 @sdw_nj
+* Started reading the PyUSB tutorial but it presupposed prerequisite knowledge of some details of USB, so I began reading some introductory material on the inner workings of USB.
+* Received USB breakout PCBs and components and assembled one to sniff USB communication with a logic analyzer.
+* So far I’m not getting any useful info from pulseview, only short packet errors. 
+   * I plan to try analyzing other USB devices to try to figure out how to get it working.
+   * It seems I was sampling at too low a rate.  Things seem to be working at 1 MHz.
+
+
+29:54 @siddacious
+* Last Week: Tester PCBs, LPS35HW drivers, BD3491FS assembly and bringup
+* This week: More lps35 arduino driver, super seekret board design, bd3491 drivers and testing, more boards!
+
+
+31:05 @sommersoft
+* Last Week:
+   * adabot
+      * Continued tweaks to `cp.org` libraries page updater.
+      * Started a module to interface and simplify using GitHub API v4. Had a basic structure, and was in the middle of writing a GraphQL syntax checker for it (learning RegEx along the way). Then stumbled upon a more mature, and better constructed approach that hadn't shown up in previous searches: https://pypi.org/project/sgqlc/ Will most likely utilize this, even though the allure of writing a module is strong...
+* This Week:
+   * adabot:
+      * Final finalize `cp.org` libraries updater, hopefully.
+      * Work on implementing sgqlc for github requests
+      * Continuing work on PDM in for interrupts
+
+
+
+
+32:42 @tannewt
+Last week:
+* Fixed issue with gc_never_free.
+* Fixed readthedocs PDF build
+* Fixed off by on error in OnDiskBitmap
+* Fixed board.I2C error where bus wasn’t reset after REPL.
+* Reworked README, removed list of boards in lieu of better option in circuitpython.org
+This week:
+* PyCon prep:
+   * presenting to core devs
+   * Pinging podcasters about meeting up, will have to wait to use twitter to avoid GOT
+* Release Candidate soon!
+* Gamer/GameBoy work, trying to get celeste working
+## 45:15 In The Weeds
+45:43 @tannewt
+* How do folks feel about release candidate later/tomorrow?
+   * Deshipu wants to add updates to Stage lib
+   * We can always do a 4.0.1 if need be
+
+
+47:53 @sommersoft
+* cp.org: desired auto-update method for adabot. PRs from adafruit-adabot fork, or commits directly to master?
+   * Commit directly to master
+   * Will want to talk with justin to avoid stepping on toes
