+* Hug to social media: Mastodon was very interested in my recent countdown clock project
+
+
+14:58 @snkymkrct (Snakey Maker Cat) -- text only 
+* In true adhd fashion, I usually forget to add notes to the meeting document, so this is my perpetual group hug, for the best online community!
+
+
+15:13 @tannewt
+* Apollon77 and qosmiof20 for help with Matter.
+* Iboue for CircuitMatter improvements.

+* Started documenting CircuitPython Polyphonic Audio FX in Learn, will continue on that
+* Will follow up with a monophonic version that tries to match the old Audio FX project as closely as possible
+
+
+19:39 @snkymkrct (Snakey Maker Cat) -- text only 
+* While reorganizing my electronics, I decided to submit a displayio example PR for every sensor board I found. It was fun, I need more sensors!
+* I'm also looking at more issues I can help with, and working to publish my first Playground note this week, describing an Adafruit MagTag CircuitPython project.
+
+
+20:08 @tannewt
+* Continuing to work on CircuitMatter.
+* Tested with Apple Home.
+   * Fixed one issue with encryption and getting the “commissioning complete” command but then failing.
+* Tested with matter.js. Gets past commissioning and into discovering what the device is.
+* Three picodvi related bugs to look at. (One is Arduino.)

+
+12:05 @danh
+
+* @aseanwatson for finding an issue with keypad.ShiftRegisterKeys.
+
+12:17 @foamyguy
+
+* @johnnohj for working on DisplayIO examples for libraries  
+* @SamBlenny for sharing a neat Halloween themed game based on DisplayIO.  
+* Group hug
+
+12:38 @jepler
+
+* Group hug  
+* Hug for Mark for working on the audio effects stuff\! (sorry for the confusion with my “Audio FX” project\!)
+
+12:57 @Mark\[gamblor21\] (missing)
+
+* @dcooperdalrymple for all his work on the audio effects PR with me  
+* @tannewt for all his audio effects reviews  
+* @jepler for quickly answering a question I had about a build issue  
+* Group hug\!
+
+13:14 @tannewt
+
+* Dan, Jeff, Tim and everyone else for covering for me as I have paternity leave. It’s immensely helpful to know things will continue without me for the time being.
+
+## \#\# 13:39 Status Updates
+
+14:02 @Liz (hosting)
+
+* I’ve worked on two arduino projects the past week. The first was using an RP2040 USB Host Feather to create a turbo button gamepad. The Feather acts as a transparent passthrough for the controller and sends any button pushes. When a specific combo is pressed, it sends a turbo button aka a rapidly pressed A button. The second project uses the QT Py CH32V203. I put together a simple eInk daily calendar with it using an EYESPI BFF and a STEMMA RTC module.
+
+14:36 @danh
+
+* Released CircuitPython 9.2.0-beta.1, which catches up on several weeks worth of changes.  
+* New sphinx version broke building the docs; I pinned it temporarily. This happens often. Some of the issues I encountered with sphinx have been fixed already.  
+* Brought GitHub Actions CI operating system version choices up to date.  
+* Continuing to fix bugs for 9.2.0 final. Fixed keypad and RP2350 bugs. Working on Espressif BLE at the moment.  
+* Tried Scott’s CircuitMatter build; some prerequisite issues, but got it working.
+
+17:15 @foamyguy
+
+* Ran a patch to fix sphinx theme configuration for all of the libraries and used the Adabot release tool to make a new release for all of them afterward.  
+* Created a new library to hold the AnchoredTileGrid class that is used by my spirit board project, but has other more general usages as well  
+* Made the changes necessary to the spirit board project to run on the smaller screen size that is used on the standard PyPortal.  
+* Tested a few ways to use symlinks in Learn guide projects and their effect on the project bundler  
+* Found an issue with the RTD container os version configuration that is in cookie cutter and 1 other new library, submitted PR to both with the fix.
+
+19:25 @jepler
+
+* Finished my guide about CircuitPython Polyphonic Audio FX, it’s live on learn.adafruit.com  
+* Spent most of last week on my personal project, a VT100-style terminal on RP2040 (in C, not CircuitPython)  
+* Short list of items to work on next:  
+  * Monophonic Audio FX version  
+  * Arduino / Floppsy stuff:  
+    * MFM floppy emulator  
+    * MFM floppy image to SD card
+
+20:32 @Mark\[gamblor21\] (missing)
+
+* Audioeffects is good to do a final review on  
+* I plan to add more effects and work on it more after the initial release
+
+20:45 @tannewt
+
+* Less than two weeks until baby is due\! Will be out afterwards for four weeks.  
+* Working on CircuitMatter interfacing with Apple Home.  
+  * Added chunking to responses because Apple Home reads all attributes up front.  
+  * Seemingly crashing homepod mini.  
+  * matter.js shows an error with my response so I’m hoping fixing that will fix apple home.

+## 16:31 Hug reports
+16:50 @foamyguy (hosting)
+* @RetiredWizard for looking into an issue with some types of PNG images getting skewed and distorted by the ImageLoad library and submitting a fix
+* @deshipu for looking into the same issue and reviewing
+* @JP for trying out the Spirit Board project and offering some great feedback
+* @Jepler for reviewing some changes to the screenshot utility
+
+
+17:21 @danh
+* @tannewt for all the work on CircuitMatter, and for discussions about it.
+* @foamyguy for taking on new responsibilities, including updating circuitpython.org.
+
+
+17:52 @jepler
+* Hug for @foamyguy, it’s nice to see you puting in more time on CircuitPython stuff!
+* @tannwt best wishes for you & your family. We’ll keep the lights on for when you come back
+* @deshipu enjoyed seeing your hardware posts on mastodon lately
+
+
+18:29 @tannewt
+* @lboue (Ludovic) who has been testing and refining CircuitMatter.
+## 19:00 Status Updates
+19:30 @foamyguy (hosting)
+* Learn the process for submitting new devices to circuitpython.org and submitted PRs to add all of the current crop of “unknown” ones
+* Working on the remaining shape intersection functions. Down to just 1 function to implement and then some cleanup
+* Setup the [MatrixPortal Spooky Eyes](https://learn.adafruit.com/matrix-portal-creature-eyes) project and used the expanded RAM on the S3 Matrixportal to update it to allow cycling through the different eyes with the buttons instead of having to hardcode the configuration
+
+
+20:44 @danh
+* Zero or one issue left for CircuitPython 9.2.0, so we can do an rc.0 soon. I fixed some more things and there are a few PR’s left.
+* Getting set up for CircuitMatter testing and development: Needed a device with a Thread border router: Apple TV 4K with Ethernet has one (note that the cheaper one without Ethernet does not). I have several other Amazon and Google devices that are Matter-compatible, but they are older versions without a border router. Good listing here: https://www.evehome.com/en-us/hub.
+
+
+22:48 @jepler
+* Created CircuitPython monophonic Audio FX and wrote a guide page about it. This program is intended to allow easy migration from the VS1000-based Audio FX board from Adafruit.
+* TM1814 LED library added to the bundle
+   * Some enhancements incoming
+   * Will write up a short guide on them
+   * I kinda hate them: Whenever your code is NOT running, they flash an annoying test pattern and there’s nothing you can do about it besides cutting power.
+   * The string I got has 1 TM1814 for every 3 LED packages which will be a surprise for people used to neopixels
+   * But they’re awful bright and run on 12V
+* After that, back to Arduino code for the Floppsy floppy board
+* For fun, I made something cursed: directly invoke a LLM when building your C/C++ projects by simply using a `#include` directive! https://social.afront.org/deck/@stylus/113336087391576927
+
+
+25:14 @tannewt
+* Baby is due in a week! So, this is likely my last week of work. Taking four weeks off initially.
+* More CircuitMatter progress.
+   * State is saved and restored so commissioning is only needed once.
+   * All certificates and initial state are generated if the state file is missing. Examples no longer depend on external project-chip repo for test certs.
+   * Packaged on PyPI with correct dependencies.
+   * Getting blink working on Pi Zero 2W. Then will do neopixel/RGBW lights.
+   * Filed issues with outstanding TODO items: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitmatter/issues

+## 15:08 Hug reports
+@jepler (host)
+* Group hug
+* The folks working on audio effects module
+
+
+15:46 @danh
+* Thanks to **everyone** who helped get CircuitPython 9.2.0 to completion.
+* @FoamyGuy many improvements to circuitpython.org. @johnnohj for button layout idea.
+* @bill88t for finding a last-minute RP2350 PSRAM issue, which was fixed in 9.2.0 final.
+* @gamblor21, @dcooperdalrymple, @todbot, @jepler for audio effects work
+
+
+17:00 @foamyguy
+* @jepler for adding vectorio capability to the unix port
+* @ralphtheninja1 twitch user who helped correct some code and learn guide content I was working on during a stream
+* @johnnohj for sharing ideas on the installation instructions button placement
+* Group hug
+## 17:59 Status Updates
+18:27 @jepler (host)
+* Some finishing touches to TM1814 CircuitPython module including setting default current to lowest instead of highest, & supporting an inverted output mode
+* Also working on some stuff in Arduino related to floppies
+* Will put in a change to make the build stop if the specified version of gcc is not present
+   * Per-port?
+   * Doing this because I got a non-running firmware for rp2350 built by gcc 10 locally
+* Have a weird situation where my rp2350 feather with soldered PSRAM can’t enter bootloader mode by holding boot + pressing reset, but it WILL enter bootloader mode if I plug in while holding boot. … HOW?
+   * I’ll stick the same FW on a non-PSRAM rp2350 feather and see if the same thing happens
+   * Reset button without boot works, resets into circuitpython
+
+
+20:18 @danh
+* I released CIrcuitPython 9.2.0 this morning. 9.2.0-rc.0 was last Thursday. I fixed one bug, to fix PSRAM on RP2350, and there were a couple of other very minor changes.
+* Onward to CircuitMatter!
+
+
+21:40 @foamyguy
+* Submitted fix for an issue with the display button library that was reported by a user on discord
+* Started working on a learn guide detailing how to make custom Animations for use with adafruit_led_animation library. Learned a lot about how it works, and have implemented a few new animations to use as examples. Also have a few more complex ones in mind, maybe an implementation of conway’s?
+* Addressed issues from circuitpython-org repo:
+   * Fix issue with language choice for pre-release version
+   * Added castellated pads to the feature list for filtering
+   * Make the manufacturers filter list shorter and scrollable
+   * Show the filterable features on the board download page
+   * Add How to Install button that can link to a learn guide or 3rd party instructions
+   * Swapped UF2 button to appear above the BIN button when both are available
+* Deep Dive on Friday
+## 26:04 In The Weeds
+@foamyguy - circuitpython-org adding a check to ensure board_id matches the .md filename https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython-org/issues/1012 
+
+How strictly would we want to enforce the check? & What to do about devices that are currently mismatched? Make exceptions for them? Update either the board_id or filename to make them match? 
+
+
+We should redirect to the new name if we do rename the file, or change the id.
+
+
+Try to find out if the template language supports getting the name of the md file, and if so use this instead of having board_id ‘manually’ declared in the metadata.
+
+
+Would we want to also check that board_id matches a board in the core repo?

+## 18:30 Hug reports
+
+
+@danh (hosting)
+* @mikeysklar for fixing WebSerialESPTool so it works again on boards that use a passthrough program like PyPortal and MatrixPortal
+* @FoamyGuy for continued improvements to circuitpython.org
+* @jepler for general fix for non-JSON’able types and other recent fixes
+* @bablokb for fixing RP2350 cpu.temperature
+* @eightycc for bringing cyw43-driver up to date
+* @bill88t for finding an RP2350 cache bug
+
+
+21:00 @foamyguy
+* Anne for showing the ropes of the blog authoring system
+* Liz for working with me on the VCNL4200 driver and wrangling some of the trickier bits
+
+
+21:25 @jepler
+* Dcooperdalrymple for some useful contributions & thoughtful interactions
+* Kevinjwalters for reporting some synthio issues & papercuts
+## 21:45 Status Updates
+@danh (hosting)
+* Fixed RP2350 cache bug. Getting ready for a 9.2.1 release, which is not urgent.
+* Studying Matter and looking at CircuitMatter. Got it to work on Apple Home.
+
+
+23:20 @foamyguy
+* Try out new style for built-in modules list on circuitpython.org pages. Settled on using the existing  styling and applying it to the new list of features. Researched the liquid template docs to figure out a way to fix the extra commas and spacing within those lists of links.
+* Wrote content and recorded video for use in custom LED Animation guide. Submitted for moderation now, out soon.
+* Library PR Reviews: Scrolling Label improvement, TemplateEngine refactor and improvements, and a more advanced Fingerprint example for rpi.
+* Learned how to build the unix port and write tests that run against it.
+
+
+25:11 @jepler
+* Primarily working on supporting the “FM” flux encoding in Adafruit_Floppy for 8” floppy emulation. This will be in the Arduino environment, not CircuitPython.
+* In CircuitPython, some small pull requests
+* Working to get the block biquad PR to mergeable state (the test was first not pushed, and then it was broken)
+* Reviewed some other PRs
+* Learned that there’s a firefox extension that can support webserial https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/webserial-for-firefox/ in case that is helpful to anyone else. It worked with the webserial terminal from the newsletter. A helper program is required to be installed on your system, but it seemed to start automatically when a page accessed webserial (at least that was my impression)
+* Working on reducing my overall number of open issues (that I filed) on github. You can get a list of all issues you ever filed across all repos, and I’m closing old ones that I don’t care about anymore, if they haven’t seen any activity or interest from others. Currently at 149 open issues, not sure what my goal is
+
+
+## 26:55 In The Weeds
+
+
+@danh
+* The download counts for libraries and Blinka above are very large. After looking at this, I think this is because there are thousands of downloads happening when CircuitPython is built for highest-download libraries. Given those inaccuracies, I am thinking we might just discontinue these download statistics, and save some time during the meeting.
+## 31:33 Wrap-Up
+Next meeting is **Tuesday, November 12**, at the regular time of day, due to a US holiday on Monday.

+## 14:14 Hug reports
+@jepler (host)
+* Group hug
+
+
+@CGrover (text only)
+* To @Tyeth (TyethGundry) and @brentru (BrentRubell) for the AIO feed throttling features in adafruit_io. This has proven to be a real lifesaver for my multi-MPU weather sensor infrastructure. Was much easier to implement than anticipated. Thank you!
+
+
+15:20 @danh
+* Welcome back Scott!
+* @eightycc for several PR’s and continuing work
+* @timchinowsky for audio work
+* @aseanwatson for noticing `keypad` regression
+* @jepler for fast reviews for 9.2.1 release
+
+
+16:02 @foamyguy
+* @johnohj for looking up and sharing information about how github treats issues and PRs similarly within their APIs
+* @Michal Pokusa for a tip about using the DISPLAY env variable in linux (rpi) to be able to launch graphical programs onto a connected display from an SSH connection.
+* @Danh and @Brentru for review and discussions around a timeout fix for minimqtt.
+* @Timeline for reporting an issue with filtering on Circuitpython.org
+
+
+16:53 @tannewt
+* Everyone for continuing our wonderful project and community while I was out. I’m happy to be back.
+## 17:19 Status Updates
+@jepler 
+* Wrapped up work in Arduino on Floppsy
+* Shifting to implement DOS/PC floppy archiving in CircuitPython
+   * Sub tasks are getting floppsy board def & adafruit-circuitpython-floppy fixed up to where they work properly again on the current board revision
+* Added board def & circuitpython.org listing for the pico 2 w last week
+
+
+19:05 @CGrover (text only)
+* This week and next week: After a long break from CircuitPython projects, I’m deep into restructuring my weather device infrastructure from the one described in this Playground Note https://adafruit-playground.com/u/CGrover/pages/display-aio-local-weather-conditions-matrixweather-system. The overarching architecture was redesigned to reduce the number of weather data source devices from two to one. The changes increased the display-only devices from one to two and will allow for many customized display-only devices to be added when/where needed. With the new architecture, each weather device will function autonomously thanks to the elegant AIO feed throttling work done by Tyeth Gundry and Brent Rubell. Of course this means that there will be a bunch of work to refactor existing devices – but the new approach has already shown a significant improvement in reliability. I’ll publish a new Playground Note that can be used as a practical example for applying AIO throttling code to a project. 
+* Somewhat unrelated: I’ve been absent from the CircuitPython project world for the past few months except for a minor effort to keep existing projects working as CircuitPython continues to improve. With winter approaching, the rock band reunion tour completed, and some significant home remodeling/repair projects coming to an end (that involved a couple of trips to the emergency clinic), I’m excited to have more time available to resume work on my long list of PCB and CircuitPython projects.
+
+
+20:25 @danh
+* Released CircuitPython 9.2.1. Fixed a few bugs for that.
+* CircuitMatter on CircuitPython:
+   * Refactored to isolate ecdsa calls to a single source file which can be reworked to substitute different ecdsa code, either a slimmer Python implementation or using mbedtls.
+   * Redoing DER (ASN1 encoding) code. The DER library that comes with ecdsa is Python 2/3 compatible, which makes for inefficiencies, and is not really in great shape. Also we only need a small part of it.
+* CircuitPython now on Bluesky as @circuitpython.org. Also circuitpython@fosstodon.org. Release announcements will be posted to both accounts.
+* Future:
+   * BLE HID central: library additions and testing
+   * MicroPython v1.24 merge
+
+
+23:22 @eightycc
+* Getting back into CircuitPython after an extended absence. It’s remarkable how quickly the Pico landscape has changed in the last months. I’m excited by the possibilities the new RP2350 opens up. The RP2040 is a fine part, but doubling the memory, adding PSRAM, and upgrading the processor cores make the RP2350 a better fit for larger projects.
+* Submitted some minor PRs to practice getting my personal workflow up and running again.
+* Took a deep dive into Infineon CYW43439 gSPI interfacing.
+* Picked up where I left off with _bleio support for the CYW43439. Re-tooled my development and testing environment. Brought my code up to date with 9.2.x. Studied the updates that Scott and Dan made to their ESP version. Posted my WIP to my Github repo.
+* Other than the packaging, I’m not seeing any differences with the Raspberry Pi RM2 vs. the bare CYW43439 part used on the Pico W.
+* Will be integrating and testing the new Pico SDK 2.1.0 over the next week. This new version brings with it a plethora of RP2350-related improvements.
+
+
+
+
+25:04 @foamyguy
+* Library issues. MiniMQTT timeout fix from discord. Tested issues reported for BNO055 and BME280
+* Circuitpython.org fix a bug with filtering downloads that I caused with recent changes. Also an issue causing it to reorder the page into the wrong order if you erase your search term.
+* Started refactoring Adabot to use pygithub instead of requests for gh API.
+* RPi Bluesky scroller code & guide
+
+
+27:47 @tannewt
+* Baby girl Rynn was born 10/29. Everyone is doing well (except for sleep deprivation.)
+* Back from paternity leave until late April next year. Out some of December for holidays & travel though starting the 11th.
+* Getting caught up on emails.
+* Maybe starting circuitmatter port to circuitpython.
+
+
+
+
+## 29:03 In The Weeds
+
+
+@foamyguy
+1) Break up the `Raspberrypi` processor family filter on circuitpython.org into rp2040 and rp2350 listed separately?
+
+
+2) https://github.com/adafruit/CircuitPython_Community_Bundle/pull/227 any concerns with a community library named `i2sinout`? Is this likely to clash with a core module at some point, and if so should it be renamed to something else?
+
+
+34:03 @danh
+* Get rid of “driver” vs “helper” distinction in bundle repo?
+## 36:10 Wrap-Up

+## 11:18 Hug reports
+11:35 @Liz (hosting)
+* Group hug!
+
+
+11:41 @CGrover (text only)
+* Group Hug
+
+
+11:45 @danh
+* @Xarnlen for forking, fixing, and publishing Joe DeVivo’s VSCode CircuitPython extension. See https://github.com/wmerkens/vscode-circuitpython and https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=wmerkens.vscode-circuitpython-v2.
+* @jepler for finishing up floppsy (also Arduino)
+* @tannewt for ESP32-P4 USB
+
+
+12:42 @foamyguy
+* @jposada202020 for submitting a displayio sensor example, and it’s nice to see your name pop up on github. Hope you’re doing well!
+* @xarnlen for working on the VSCode extension
+* Group hug
+
+
+13:22 @jepler
+* Tim for continuing to pick off long-neglected issues
+* Dan for testing stuff on Windows & digging up arcane knowledge of USB stuff
+* Jposada202020 for merging in some pull requests that I filed a little while ago
+* @factsEngineering on github, likewise
+
+
+14:09 @Jose (not in the meeting)
+* Github User bradcar for making a PR to correct a bug CircuitPython BMP581. They contacted me on my “default” library email that was on my spam. Anyway that leads to my second hug report
+* @jepler for submitting various PRs in my libraries. Sorry it took me so long.
+        
+14:34 @tannewt
+* Xarnlen for picking up the visual studio code extension and improving it.
+* Danh for picking up CircuitMatter work while I was out.
+
+
+15:02 @todbot (text-only)
+* Group hug! Finally getting back to playing with CirPy and y’all are so nice
+* @gamblor21 for helping me with new board PR (and for audioeffects!)
+* @prcutler for doing all the hard work to make The Bootloader podcast happen
+
+
+## 15:27 Status Updates
+15:51 @Liz (hosting)
+* I took last week off for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was a nice restful break and now I’m ready to pump out some work between now and Christmas/New Years
+* Before my week-long nap, I published the Feather RP2350 Audio Reactive Video Synth guide. This project uses a Feather RP2350 with HSTX to DVI to run a video synthesizer that uses analog potentiometers and audio input with FFT to control fun animations. I’m really proud of this project. It had been a goal of mine to work on a video synth in CircuitPython and I was thrilled to finally be able to do it with bonus points for audio reactivity.
+
+
+16:32 @CGrover (text only)
+* Continuing to work on refactoring PyPortal and Matrix Portal weather displays that use AIO feeds to show WeatherKit and local sensor conditions. M4 memory limitations and “SPI character timeout” issues are the current challenges. Testing some acceptable workarounds. A Playground Note is in progress.
+* Will begin to investigate alternatives to the Portal platforms that will likely involve ESP32-S3 Feathers and 2.4” or 3.5” TFT FeatherWings.The Portal boards will be repurposed for projects that won’t need internet access (device testers, load cell scales, calculators, string car robots, etc.).
+
+
+17:14 @danh
+* Got an idea about an upward-compatible way of specifying pull, drive-strength, drive-mode for pins passed to the constructors of various native modules. Wrote it up as https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/9845.
+* Back to CircuitMatter cryptography today after catching up.
+
+
+18:25 @foamyguy
+* Dug into vectorio rotation issue and found + submitted a solution
+* Added two ‘unknown’ boards to circuitpython.org
+* Multiple animation example for Neopxl8
+* Type annotations for: MSA301, MPL3115A2, working on MiniQR
+
+
+20:13 @jepler
+* As an exercise, implemented a pure Python workaround for the “E9 erratum”: https://gist.github.com/jepler/81eef2bab4bb130bd2034d95f9c22b1d
+   * It’s slower than normal DigitalInOut because it needs to modify the Input Enable register & is implemented in Python code, but in narrow circumstances it could be useful
+   * Don’t plan to library it or anything
+* Added support for “sideset_pindirs”, a feature of the RP2 PIO peripheral that we did not previously expose. It is used in C examples that implement I2C and onewire using PIO, and was requested by a community member. PRs open and awaiting review.
+* Assigned myself 4 “9.x.x” issues to work on this week
+* Also looking at the newly released documentation & code for using the PIO peripheral on the Raspberry Pi 5 (in C), we’d like to add it to Blinka if feasible.
+* I will generate the 2025 public meeting calendar soon (this one is easy as it does not say who is running each meeting, it’s all about the holidays)
+* Some cleanup in community bundle libraries (metadata in pyproject.toml) happened, which will let me remove a workaround in the bundle builder
+
+
+22:18 @Jose David
+* I’ll work on the displayIO sensor simple test examples
+
+
+22:27 @tannewt
+* Made a PR for USB support on ESP32-P4 and need to follow up with fixes.
+* Exploring moving CircuitPython to Zephyr. It’ll give us a common build system, default support for peripherals and networking (Wifi, BLE).
+* Travelling starting 12/11 (next Wednesday)
+## 24:37 In The Weeds
+24:59 @jepler - December meetings & 2025 meetings
+* I wanted to discuss this because on the internal host calendar I’m scheduled to be host on December 23.
+* The public calendar never had December 23 or December 30 meetings on it.
+* So I think this is already settled and this is more an informational segment
+* Hold the January 6, 2025 meeting as usual?
+* I’ll set up our internal hosting calendar for the first months of 2025 soon.
+
+
+26:31 @jose (text only)
+we are having this warning https://github.com/jposada202020/CircuitPython_BMP581/actions/runs/11965521203/job/33744549077#step:2:833. This might be corrected by changing the version of the pre-commit-hooks link to file example  to version V5.0.0 in  .pre-commit-config.yaml. According to my preliminary investigation there are some libraries in the Adafruit Repos that have the change and some others not. To be confirmed.
+
+
+29:28 @danh - https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/9845: way of passing pin configuration request instead of a plain Pin. Pass a `Pin.Configuration` instead of a `Pin`. Could use most places where a plain pin is passed, e.g.:
+```py
+pwm = pwmio.PWMOut(board.D5.configuration(drive_strength=4))
+```

+## 2:12 Community News
+### Raspberry Pi Release `piolib` for Raspberry Pi 5 RP1 Programming
+PIOlib/libPIO is a user-space API to the `rp1-pio` driver, which gives access to the PIO hardware of the RP1 on a Raspberry Pi 5. It will be an important method of running time critical GPIO interface code, such as using smart LED strips (like NeoPixels). It takes the form of a clone of the PICO SDK PIO API, where most of the methods are implemented as RPC calls to RP1 - [GitHub](https://github.com/raspberrypi/utils/tree/master/piolib) and [NeoPixel Example](https://github.com/raspberrypi/utils/blob/master/piolib/examples/ws2812.c).
+@jepler has the code working and is integrating it into libraries for community use.
+### 3:46 An Updated CircuitPython Plug-in for VSCode is Available
+Will S Merkens has come to the rescue of many in the community who have asked for a working VSCode extension for CircuitPython development. Will forked an older, broken version and has applied fixes - [GitHub](https://github.com/wmerkens/vscode-circuitpython).

+## 15:20 Hug reports
+@danh (hosting)
+* @jepler for numerous CircuitPython fixes over the past week.
+
+
+16:00 @CGrover (text only)
+* @foamyguy for the informative and imagination-sparking Karel the Robot stream.
+* Group hug
+
+
+16:14 @foamyguy
+* Jose for submitting more sensor displayio examples
+* Jeff for looking into and fixing a rounding issue with locations inside of adafruit_turtle
+
+
+16:37 @jepler
+* Group hug
+* Thanks to Tim for fixing a bug in Turtle that I introduced
+
+
+16:55 @tannewt
+* @jimmo for the gut check about moving CircuitPython to Zephyr.
+
+
+17:15 @todbot (text-only)
+* Mark (@gamblor21) & Tim (@foamyguy) for helping get the MTM Workshop Computer synth going with CircuitPython
+* Cooper (@relic-se) & Jeff (@jepler) & Mark (@gamblor21) for the recent audiofilters work.  The echo and filter effects are a lot of fun! Can’t wait to try distortion
+
+
+## 17:44 Status Updates
+@danh (hosting)
+* CircuitMatter: I started working on native mbedtls cryptography access, but didn’t have enough information. Instead I went back to the Python version of ecdsa, removed all the Python 2 compatibility stuff, and trimmed it to include only what is required for Matter, which removes a lot of code. I kept testing as I trimmed, so I know it still works. I have a few more things to trim or rewrite and will then try it in CircuitPython.
+* Fixed missing alarm module on many 4MB Espressif boards. This is worth a 9.2.2 release soon.
+
+
+20:20 @CGrover (text only)
+* Wrapped up the software side of the new weather architecture. The final step is to install the Source device into a hardened enclosure out in the dusty workshop. Playground Note: https://adafruit-playground.com/u/CGrover/pages/remix-cedar-grove-weather-architecture-v2-0
+* Will be reawakening the thermal imager project with a new sensor. Anticipating improved performance since a bunch of changes were made to CircuitPython displayio/vectorio since the first implementation. Excited to incorporate some tricks learned with PaletteSlice and PaletteFilter to improve pseudo-color images. I’m betting that ulab will play a prominent role.
+* A FeatherWing PCB design to emulate the “all-in-one” PyPortal functionality for ESP32-S3 Feathers and the 3.5-inch cap-touch TFT Wing is in the works. Although it won’t be compatible with the PortalBase library, it will have the essential audio output, temperature sensor, light sensor, and funky 3 and 4-pin JST-PH Stemma connectors. Q: Why? A: ‘Cause I have quite a few existing PyPortal projects that could use the upgrade to ESP32-S3.
+
+
+21:34 @foamyguy
+* Continuing to work on library issues. This week included some fixes in adafruit_turtle and type annotations / ruff for display_button as well a few in other various libraries
+* Implemented Karel the robot with displayio / TileGrid. It’s a utility to help teach the fundamentals of programming that was created by a stanford graduate student in the 70s.
+
+
+23:20 @jepler
+* Pio neopixel now working on pi5 in circuitpython. Compatible with LED animation library, etc. temporary home is https://github.com/jepler/adafruit-blinka-neopixel-pi5 – installation:
+   * install latest firmware on pi5
+   * install latest kernel on pi5 & reboot
+   * pip install git+https://github.com/jepler/adafruit-blinka-neopixel-pi5 adafruit-circuitpython-led-animation adafruit-circuitpython-pixelbuf adafruit-blinka
+   * sudo chmod 666 /dev/rpi0
+   * wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jepler/adafruit-blinka-neopixel-pi5/refs/heads/main/examples/led_animation.py
+   * python led_animation.py
+* Working on an implementation of StateMachine which will initially target the features needed for neopixel & build from there
+   * Another target is support for RGB Matrix Bonnet on PI5
+   * Will not be a fully compatible StateMachine replacement, will just hit key functionality needed
+* Based on my current understanding it’s not possible to do a concurrent read & write operation (like StateMachine.write_readinto) though maybe it can be done by doing a write ioctl in one thread and a read ioctl in another.
+* Other items:
+   * Fixed a problem with moving fractional pixels in adafruit turtle
+   * Changed how memory could be allocated for ssl objects on espressif microcontrollers with psram
+   * Fixed board.DISPLAY on floppsy
+   * Fixed a glitch in MP3Decoder when switching streams
+   * Removed some unneeded code in some setter functions in the core
+   * Set up the 2025 calendar for public meetings
+   * Submitted a fix for the module filename in a community library. I think this is the last thing before we can drop a workaround in the bundle builder.
+
+
+25:55 @tannewt
+* Got an nRF52840 build of CP + Zephyr linking but haven’t tried it on the DK. That’s my next step.
+   * nRF boards now live at the top level. Builds happen from the top level too.
+   * Zephyr cmake calls into async python script that builds circuitpython (replacing our makefiles.) Async python handles parallelism and skipping already done work.
+* Monday and Tuesday will be off and on as we get ready for our travel. Wednesday is a travel day. The rest of the week is NYC visit and hacking when we have time.
+* Next week we’ll be in Michigan and off and on. Not sure what our plans are. Out completely 12/23 - 1/2.
+* I think we should do #CircuitPython2025 in January. Any objections or suggestions?
+* Other stuff:
+   * Replaced nvme drive that failed as part of my BTRFS RAID1 root partition. Went surprisingly smoothly.
+   * Playing around with meshtastic on lilygo tdeck.
+## 28:45 In The Weeds
+* Any feedback or suggestions for #CircuitPython2025?
+
+
+## 32:00 Wrap-Up
+Next meeting is Monday December 16 at the usual time. The meeting following that will be Monday January 6, 2025!

+
+## 20:34 Status Updates
+
+20:58 @foamyguy (hosting)
+* Various Library issues        
+   * HX711 longint issue
+   * BMP280 changed the examples to use same pin as learn guide for CS
+   * LED_Animation - Fix an issue with comet tail length > 256. And make period into a settable property for rainbow
+* Wrote first draft of library that allows integration with wiz connected lights. They have several ways to be controlled, this library uses UDP on the local network to send them commands. 
+* Continued work on Karel the Robot implementation. Now has loading world state, and validating world state against a goal. Scaled the sprites up to 24px. Added ability for multiple beepers at same location
+* Copied from Ladyada’s recent video, got a set of ikea Alex drawers and start organizing parts and pieces better
+
+
+24:01 @danh
+* CircuitMatter:
+   * Coded AES-CCM using our CircuitPython aesio. Not tested yet.
+   * Had to recode TLV code to work on CIrcuitPython– it’s buggy right now, and I’m debugging (I can debug on CPython, which is easier).
+* New deep-sleep USB problem to research.
+* Fixed broken USB on tip-of-main builds.
+
+
+25:30 @jepler
+* Put pi5 pio neopixel on github.
+* PRd support for it in the main blinka package, not yet merged (update: Limor just merged it, so that’ll be in the next release of Blinka! You might still need to manually install Adafruit-Blinka-Raspberry-Pi5-Neopixel manually, and do the necessary kernel & firmware updates)
+* Working on pi5 pio rgbmatrix driver.
+   * There are still some ghosting issues but the basics are working properly
+   * Next steps are to add chained & serpentine panel support
+   * Slightly limited by the inability to transfer more than 64kB to the PIO peripheral at once, issue filed: https://github.com/raspberrypi/utils/issues/107
+
+
+27:11 @Paul Cutler
+* The discussion around #CircuitPython2025 got me thinking about my podcast and I’ve decided to bring back The CircuitPython Show.  I sent out a bunch of episode invitations this morning, so check your inbox, you might just have one! (And if you’re interested in appearing on the show, let me know)
+
+
+27:37 @tannewt
+* In Michigan visiting family. Working some this week but off and on.
+* Goal is to get caught up on emails and reviews and connect up the Zephyr port to the Zephyr UART.
+* Working on #CircuitPython2025 kick off post. Gotta get email setup and ideally graphics before too.

+
+* @Paul Cutler for restarting the CircuitPython Show\!  
+* @jepler, @FoamyGuy, @relic-se, Sam Blenny and Andrew Smith for CircuitPython2025 posts.  
+* @FoamyGuy for deep diving over the holidays.
+
+14:00 @anecdata (text only)
+
+* @jepler for so many contributions and assistance over the years, especially numerous networking features and fixes, including the MBEDTLS memory fix this week  
+* @eightycc for the deep dive into integrating raspberrypi RM2 wifi  
+* @neradoc and @danh for CircuitPython help on Discord, to me and to many others
+
+14:27 @CGrover (text only)
+
+* To @jepler for numerous impactful contributions to the CircuitPython community. We all have benefitted from the innovative and detailed designs from core to drivers to fully-realized devices accompanied with those detailed learning guides. Jeff, you provided inspiration and many useful examples for me in my understanding and application of software development techniques, particularly for my breakthrough understanding of ulab and uDecimal – and synthio\! Thank you and best wishes for your journey’s next chapter.  
+* Historical hugs to Tony DiCola and Jerry Needell for pioneering leadership on Micropython (Tony) and ground-breaking CircuitPython drivers for the RFM boards (Jerry).  
+* Inspirational open-source hugs to Tyeth and Brent for practical and easy-to-use AIO CircuitPython UI and example code, particularly for managing feed throttle limits for multiple autonomous devices.  
+* A Web API hug to DJDevon for running the gauntlet and providing numerous solution examples that look at reliability issues from many angles.  
+* To @PaulCutler for the invitation to discuss the weather station project on The CircuitPython Show podcast. And an “editing excellence” hug for his skill at making me sound coherent.
+
+15:47 @danh
+
+* @PaulCutler for inviting me to be on the CircuitPython show. We recorded an episode about building CircuitPython.  
+* @jepler for working on PIO for higher-numbered pins on RP2350  
+* @tannewt for updating to ESP-IDF 5.3.2.  
+* @anecdata, @RetiredWizard, @MichalPokusa for HTTPServer work. @eightycc for core work.
+
+16:53 @foamyguy
+
+* User theSW_Fink on the Adafruit forums who posted a bunch of small sized BDF fonts a while ago [https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?t=203655](https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?t=203655)  
+* Belated hug to todbot for sharing circuitpython UDP networking examples on gist  
+* @slaftos on github for submitting a PR to adabot that codifies the behavior of warning / report on naming of example files within subdirectories.  
+* Group Hug
+
+18:09 @jepler
+
+* Group hug  
+* Hug for Paul Corner’s circuitpython show podcast & for inviting me. (I think I said this before the holidays but I don’t mind repeating myself)  
+* Hug for cooper & mark (gamblor) for continued audio work. Please ping me when I need to do more review  
+* Hug for dan for testing more than one thing on the pio PR. Now I’ll test more before asking for fresh reviews.  
+* Hug for scott, juggling work & life  
+* Hug to jposada202020 for gracefully choosing to withdraw several unmaintained libraries from the bundle. Knowing when to say “no” or “I’m done” is important, and sometimes giving yourself permission to say it is hard.
+
+19:48 @michalpokusa (text only)
+
+* @anecdata for extensive testing PR that added HTTPS to adafruit_httpserver and @danh for merging it  
+* Group hug, happy New Year everyone
+
+20:04 @Paul Cutler
+
+* Hugs for everyone that responded to being a guest on The CircuitPython Show, the response was fantastic.
+
+20:18 Tyeth Gundry (missing meeting?)
+
+* Big hug for Dan, monitoring the wippersnapper/adafruitIO discord, and submitting a wicked fix for the mqtt library to no longer ignore socket response codes (allowing packet retries and sending remaining data from truncated payloads). This went unnoticed on esp32 but drastically affected Pico W/2W when sending large image (base64) payloads.
+
+## 20:47 Status Updates
+
+21:00 @tannewt (host)
+
+* Blogging CircuitPython2025 posts and doing my own this week.  
+* Working on Zephyr port. Adding pins, board and DigitalInOut.  
+* Hobby: Playing with Meshtastic.
+
+23:48 @CGrover (text only)
+
+* Testing the “final” version of the combined Weather/Corrosion Monitor LCARS display as the weather architecture project comes to a completion. The display’s ESP32-S3 CircuitPython code also doubles as the AIO+ weather data source repeater with just a few minor changes. The new devices (as well as the original PyPortal M4 versions) will be featured in a Playground Note that should be published sometime this week.  
+* Work is progressing on the Portal FeatherWing-Wing PCB designed to add PyPortal hardware peripherals to the back of the 3.5-inch Cap Touch TFT display. Hoping to get the prototype’s PCB order sent to OSH Park by early next week.  
+* Nostalgically retired the first two versions of the workstation corrosion monitor devices. The enclosures were disassembled and put back into the inventory for repurposing.
+
+24:48 @danh
+
+* CircuitMatter: got further running on CircuitPython.  
+  * Made some changes to core CircuitPython to fix a couple of CPython incompatibilities.  
+  *  In the key generation phase there is something that’s recommended to be run at least 10-100k times for cryptographic security, which is completely impractical in CircuitPython (would take \>3 hours). Temporarily reduced that to move forward. It may make sense to do key generation to be done on a host computer, and then move the keys over for use on CircuitPython.  
+* Fixed a bug in MiniMQTT library that caused large packets to be truncated. That broke ESP32SPI, because its Socket.send() doesn’t return a count, so fixed that too.
+
+26:36 @foamyguy
+
+* Fixes for circup / wwshell file utility  
+* Automate Community bundle library list file. Add code of conduct to repo, and section to readme  
+* Practice C, Arduino, and GDB  
+* Library issues and  PR review  
+  * VL6180X min 20ms for continuous read  
+  * VL53L4CD implement suggestions to support non-longint builds  
+  * PCF8574 return bool type from value property  
+  * VEML770 test autolux and displayio example PRs  
+  * WS2801 Test on Pi. Start refactoring to use pixelbuf  
+* Project from the break was a tile based game about mining resources and crafting jewelry and other items
+
+30:20 @jepler
+
+* Leaving Adafruit at the end of March – for more details, you can check out my CircuitPython 2025 post. https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/01/01/circuitpython2025/  
+* Successfully took time off, barely touched CircuitPython  
+* Did some cool 3d printing stuff, will probably show it on show & tell this wednesday so tune in.  
+* This week:  
+  * Fixing bugs I introduced in the RP2350 PIO PR, once I track them down  
+  * Then back to rgbmatrix stuff on pi5. Ultimate goal is to wrap it for use from Python/Blinka.
+
+31:46 @Paul Cutler
+
+* New episode of The Bootloader is out today and the new season of The CircuitPython Show will kick off next Monday, Jan 13th with Adafruit community member Aaron Pendley aka squid.jpg.
+
+## 32:17 In The Weeds
+
+@michalpokusa (text only)  
+I would like to ask about the possibility of expanding the supported “re” module functionality. Would it be possible to “copy” the CPython’s implementation in order to add support for e.g. named capture groups, counted repetitions, and/or lookaheads/lookbehinds etc.  
+In my head, it does come only to adapting CPython code to the rest of CircuitPython, not developing it from scratch.
+
+What is the opinion of the CP team about it? Could it be a planned feature, even if long term?
+
+This module implements regular expression operations. Regular expression syntax supported is a subset of CPython re module (and actually is a subset of POSIX extended regular expressions).\` -  [https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/docs/library/re.html](https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/docs/library/re.html)

+## 18:42 Hug reports
+19:05 @foamyguy (hosting)
+* @Neradoc for looking into our Ruff configuration in cookie-cutter and figuring out how to have it use more of the checks that we’ve configured it for. 
+* @PaulCutler for the CircuitPython show podcasts
+* @Liz for helpful resources and guidance on writing new product learn guides
+* Group hug
+
+
+19:35 @CGrover (text only)
+* Group hug for everyone in the LA area dealing with the devastating fires.
+* @squid.jpg for sharing your inspiring ideas and projects on Paul’s podcast.
+* @foamyguy for the “crafting” video streams. The overarching concept and coding techniques are very applicable to other projects.
+
+
+20:03 @danh
+* @Jeff M (discord) and @dbiersach (GitHub) for thorough testing of a CircuitPython regression in 9.2.2 with ESP32-S3.
+* Group hug for community helpers in discord in the past few weeks.
+
+
+20:40 @jepler
+* @danh and @retiredWizard for testing on the RP2350B “high PIO pins” PR
+
+
+20:58 @tannewt
+* @squid.jpg for being a guest on the CP Show. Nice to hear about your projects!
+
+
+21:19 Status Updates
+21:45 @foamyguy (hosting)
+* Created repo and docs for Display AnalogClock library, cleaned up code, and made a standalone example that runs on built-in display. This week add to bundle, and add an NTP based clock example.
+* Added a page to the Wiz lights guide for using the scanning functionality to find lights on the network and map them by MAC address
+* Working on guide pages for TMC2209
+* Practicing C by implementing basic ciphers and debugging with GDB when I mess up.
+
+
+23:02 @CGrover (text only)
+* Updated the “final” version of the LCARS Weather Display to incorporate a day/night color palette shift based on AIO+ weather sunrise/sunset values. Used cedargrove_palettefilter (available in the Community Bundle) to adjust a range of colors in the background bmp image’s palette. Will make it easy in the future to incorporate a Red Alert display condition, as well. https://adafruit-playground.com/u/CGrover/pages/cedar-grove-weather-architecture-v2-0
+* Developed a simple scheme for testing AIO feed “freshness” without resorting to using time calculations. This feature is essential for detecting when the data source device out in the workshop has failed to upload to AIO. The plan is to incorporate it into all the weather system display devices.
+* Finally got around to making a simple enclosure for the CG-35 Calculator. Probably would be easier if I used a 3-D printer or laser cutter, but I really enjoy cutting and bending Plexiglas using mostly hand tool techniques. Cg-35-a-retro-rpn-calculator
+* Next is to complete two more project enclosures using 2020 Al extrusion parts and then resume the PortalWing PCB project. I’m chomping at the bit to get back to PCB design after a long hiatus.
+
+
+24:48 @danh
+* Released CircuitPython 9.2.2 last Thursday.
+   * I added a short delay on ESP32-S2 when doing I2C bus probing. It was giving false positives since recent I2C upgrades.
+   * Fixed some bugs and CPython incompatibilities while working on CorrcuitMatter in CIrcuitPython.
+   * One regression I am working on: ESP32-S3 does not present to USB when not downstream from at least one USB hub. This is traceable to a TinyUSB update PR.
+* Not CircuitPython: Arduino NeoPixel library: fails on Espressif >73 pixels due to stack overflow setting up storage for the RMT peripheral. There is a PR to fix this that I may merge soon. CircuitPython uses a seemingly better way to do it with more ESP-IDF help. This could be a second PR for later after more testing.
+
+
+27:54 @jepler
+* Completed work on RP2350 “high pio pins”
+* Did a number of other small circuitpython items
+   * A papercut that had been bothering me: the way files are determined for inclusion in the docs is now based on an include list, so that when I have junk files in my source tree it doesn’t disturb the doc build. Overall this should be more maintainable than the exclude list.
+* Continued work on Pi 5 RGB matrix support. 
+   * Completed “refactor” into a C++ library (vs just a standalone demo program) to the point that it builds – but did not test anything yet.
+   * Next after that: wrapping the C++ library to Python
+
+
+29:50 @tannewt
+* Working on Zephyr USB support. Flash should be working on boards with it defined.
+* Wrapping up CircuitPython2025 on Wednesday.
+* Prepping for Robert Feranac stream next week. Will do an Adafruit Playground with the examples for it. Mostly cribbing from Learn Guides.
+* Off next Monday for holiday.
+32:08 In The Weeds

+## 15:00 Hug reports
+
+@danh (hosting)
+
+* @hathach for diagnosing and fixing two USB-related bugs that were regressions for CIrcuitPython.
+
+15:49 @CGrover (text only)
+
+* @DJDevon3 for the continuing investigation of openweathermap.org alternatives, including providing useful guidance and excellent examples ([Feather Weather project](https://github.com/DJDevon3/My_Circuit_Python_Projects/tree/main/Boards/espressif/Unexpected%20Maker%20Feather%20S3/3.5%20TFT%20Featherwing/Feather%20Weather%20MQTT%20Touch%20Open-Meteo)).
+
+16:06 @DJDevon3 (text only)
+
+* In only a few months of absence I forgot how to put a feather into the bootloader mode that esptool will recognize. Hug to @Neradoc & @Danh for helping me get back into the swing of things.
+* @Elpekenin for helping to improve some f-string formatting in a timestamp function.
+* @CGrover for providing multiple choices to port away from OpenWeatherMaps for weather data. His latest playground note on [weather architecture 2.0 for AIO+ HTTP requests](https://adafruit-playground.com/u/CGrover/pages/cedar-grove-weather-architecture-v2-0) is an excellent read.
+* @DanH for fixing a bug in 9.2.2 and releasing a fix in 9.2.3
+
+16:50 @foamyguy
+
+* @Liz for help learning how to use Pretty Pins and making pinouts page photos for learn guides
+* @jepler for suggestions on improvements for adafruit\_datetime, and tests for ImageLoad
+* @Neradoc for reporting issues on Blinka Displayio with reproducers, and looking into getting HTTPServer to work with ESP32SPI
+* @Slaftos for adding the –list and –rename args for circup example command
+
+18:11 @tannewt
+
+* @andyross from Zephyr for helping me understand my heap options.
+* @bablokb for RP2350 sleep PR.
+* @[SamantazFox](https://github.com/SamantazFox) for iMX RT canio PR.
+
+## 18:40 Status Updates
+
+19:08 @danh (hosting)
+
+* Released CIrcuitPython 9.2.3 to add a workaround by @hathach to fix the USB problem on ESP32-S3. Thach has diagnosed the underlying problem in ESP-IDF, and has made initial fixes in TinyUSB and TinyUF2. Espressif developers are aware and will fix it.
+* Submitted a PR, awaiting testing, to fix picodvi crashing due to DMA IRQ problems.
+* Getting stalled NINA-FW update going again, to fix ECDSA certificate chain issues for ESP32SPI
+
+20:56 @DJDevon3 (text only)
+
+* Now that OpenWeatherMaps put their free API behind a credit card wall; I followed CGrover’s playground note to update my FeatherWeather project to Weather.gov. It works well but you’re limited to updates every 60 minutes. Then I found Open-Meteo’s free weather API. Polling is limited to every 15 minutes, can be used with latitude & longitude for anyone across the world, and is completely free with no login required. I recommend everyone check out open-meteo’s [API request constructor](https://open-meteo.com/en/docs). It is the most efficient & pleasant API request builder I’ve ever come across so far. I wish every online API had something like that. If you’ve been wondering what to do for online weather data since OpenWeatherMaps pulled the rug out, Open-Meteo is an excellent replacement.
+* Created a new repo for the [GoodTimes BDF font](https://github.com/DJDevon3/GoodTimes_BDF_Font) that I use in my feather weather project.  Used Font Forge to create sizes from 5px to 121px.
+* Updated my [Feather Weather project](https://github.com/DJDevon3/My_Circuit_Python_Projects/tree/main/Boards/espressif/Unexpected%20Maker%20Feather%20S3/3.5%20TFT%20Featherwing/Feather%20Weather%20MQTT%20Touch%20Open-Meteo) and took bitmapsaver screenshots of every page. Transition from 9.0.1 to 9.2.1 was seamless.
+* Helped someone with a Matrix Portal S3 clock question and ended up writing an NTP example and [playground note](https://adafruit-playground.com/u/DJDevon3/pages/circuit-python-matrix-portal-s3-ntp-clock) for it.
+
+
+22:30 @foamyguy
+
+* Patched and release all libraries for RTD Sphinx config deprecation.
+* Fix a few libraries that had incorrect docs badge URL in their readme which causes other issues for some adabot reports
+* Looking into Blinka Displayio issues, submitted fixes for a few and still have a couple more to look into.
+* Learned how to POST to a discord channel webhook from CircuitPython and made a quick PoC that uses an accelerometer to know when the dryer finishes and sends a message to a discord my wife and I use to coordinate.
+
+24:32 @jepler (missing meeting)
+
+* Put some polish on the “piomatter” library for running RGB matrices on Pi 5 using pio. This is released on github & pypi: [https://pypi.org/project/Adafruit-Blinka-Raspberry-Pi5-Piomatter/](https://pypi.org/project/Adafruit-Blinka-Raspberry-Pi5-Piomatter/)
+* Out today having a mini-hackfest with some friends, we have been working on a variety of projects. No circuitpython though.
+
+24:57 @tannewt
+
+* Fixed up Zephyr work so creating blink over CIRCUITPY actually works\!
+* Continuing work on Zephyr WiFi.
+* Improving build code to detect header file changes (and not rebuild every time because we generate headers.)
+* Recording stream with Robert Feranec.
+
+## In The Weeds
+
+We’re changing the way we use Markdown formatting in this notes document a bit. Google Docs now can convert to Markdown when exporting a document. So just format your contributions with regular Google Docs formatting. If you type using Markdown formatting characters, your input will be converted on the fly to formatted text. You can also right-click and “Paste as Markdown” any text that is using raw Markdown.
+
+## 27:22 Wrap-Up
+
+Next meeting is Monday, January 27, 2025, at the regular time of 2pm US Eastern Time / 11am US Pacific Time.

+* Worked on NINA-FW more over the weekend, getting back to where I was before. I had a confusing problem until I realized I was missing a ground wire that was there previously. Things sort of worked but the ground was through two USB lines so SPI was not reliable.
+
+22:12 @DJDevon3 (text only)
+
+* Figured out how to automate font forge to create a font with a list of pixel sizes at the same time. This is something that I believe should be added to the Ruiz Brothers [font forge learn guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/custom-fonts-for-pyportal-circuitpython-display/conversion). This is the primary guide I’ve always used when occasionally making fonts. I never learned how to easily make multiple fonts of the same size because it’s not in the guide.   
+* Worked on an [NTP RTC function example](https://github.com/DJDevon3/My_Circuit_Python_Projects/blob/main/Boards/espressif/Adafruit%20Feather%20ESP32-S3/Adafruit%20NTP%20Clock/code.py). The function supports a timezone offset and a secondary manual offset (specifically designed for helping to program an alarm clock).
+
+23:04 @eightycc (text only)
+
+* Working on an interesting RP2 network performance bug (\#9837). It’s given me a chance to exercise my ramlog logging facility. With a debug build and intensive logging I’m able to capture a large trace of network activity without impacting network performance.
+
+23:34 @foamyguy
+
+* RPi 5 \+ RGB Matrix examples  
+  * Multiple panels  
+  * Mp4 videos with VLC  
+  * Scrolling text from web API  
+  * Rainbowy and fun abstract art with PIL, rainbow snake and metaballs  
+  * Attempted doom and pygame, unsuccessful so far  
+* Library PR reviews & testing
+
+  	
+
+25:50 @tannewt (out)
+
+* Ari is home with a low fever so I’m WFH when I can until he’s back at daycare.  
+* Got WiFi scanning working on nrf7002dk. Intended on continuing that but got distracted polishing build stuff.  
+* The build is in much better shape now. CI runs and zephyr jobs pass. Nordic job is broken due to nrfx version mismatch between new tinyusb and our ports implementation.  
+* Will hack the nordic build so it passes and then PR it all.
+
+## 26:43 In The Weeds
+
+@DJDevon3 (text only)
+
+* Currently there’s no way to leave feedback on a playground note like you can with a learn guide.  The playground system has now been around long enough to where some notes are becoming outdated and there’s no way to contact the author to update their note. \[I’ve queried the devs about this. –danh\]
+
+30:17 @danh
+
+* Stop updating 8.x bundle and otherwise deprecate 8.x? See [https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/9001](https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/9001).   
+  * Scott: Yup\! This would free us up to do 10.x prereleases. Maybe we want to branch for it? I suspect we’ll keep 9.x stable for a while though.
+
+## 31:52 Wrap-Up
+
+* Next week’s meeting is Monday, February 10, 2025, at 2pm US ET / 11am US PT as usual. The meeting *after* that will be delayed a day due to a US holiday: Tuesday, February 18, 2025\.

+
+### 3:21 Maximizing MicroPython Speed
+
+There are times where we'd like code to run much faster than it does at present. Part of any coding class beyond the basics involves optimizing code for speed and size, especially in resource restricted environments (like microcontrollers and single-board computers). MicroPython has documentation which helps suggest code changes to make programs run faster including the Native and Viper code emitters \- [ReadTheDocs](https://docs.micropython.org/en/v1.9.3/pyboard/reference/speed_python.html).
+
+### 4:03 MicroPython IDEs and Tools
+
+Mayur Koshti has a new guide to the best development environments for MicroPython \- [Medium](https://medium.com/@mayurkoshti12/aebe61b0f0c5). Click "No Medium subscription? Read the full article 👉 here." in the second paragraph to read.
+
+### 4:21 Debugging Within Visual Studio Code
+
+Visual Studio Code allows for debugging within the interface including setting up a REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) \- [visualstudio.com](https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/debugging#_debug-console-repl) and specifically [Python Debugging](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/debugging).
+
+### 4:34 Adafruit Announces Fruit Jam, an RP2350B-based Single Board Computer
+
+Looking to "jam a ridonkulous amount of hardware" into a single-board computer, Adafruit has shown their design in progress, initially entitled Fruit Jam. Adafruit is aiming it for classic game and computer emulation and CircuitPython, although it should work with any RP2350 compatible language \- [Adafruit Blog](https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/02/03/fruit-jam-rp2350b-credit-card-mini-computer-with-all-the-fixins/), [Hackster.io](https://www.hackster.io/news/adafruit-unveils-a-work-in-progress-raspberry-pi-rp2350b-single-board-computer-the-fruit-jam-008f4cc73dde), and [Tom's Hardware](https://www.tomshardware.com/raspberry-pi/adafruits-fruit-jam-is-a-raspberry-pi-pico-2-powered-credit-card-sized-computer).
+
+"With the extra pins of the QFN-80 RP2350B, we’re able to jam a ridonkulous amount of hardware into this shape: RP2350B dual 150MHz Cortex M33 w/ PicoProbe debug port, 16 MB Flash \+ 8 MB PSRAM, USB type C for bootloading/USB client, Micro SD card with SPI or SDIO, DVI output on the HSTX port, I2S stereo headphone \+ mono speaker via the TLV320DAC3100, 2-port USB type A hub for both keyboard and mouse or game controllers, chunky on-off switch, Stemma QT I2C \+ Stemma classic JST 3-pin, EYESPI for TFT displays, 5x NeoPixels, 3x tactile switches, and a 16-pin socket header with 10 A/D GPIO \+ 5V/3V/GND power pins. The PSRAM will help when we want to do things like run emulations that we need to store in fast RAM access, and it will also let us use the main SRAM as the DVI video buffer."
+
+### 6:31 Adafruit Updates PioMatter Library For Raspberry Pi 5
+
+The Raspberry Pi 5 can now drive Adafruit's RGB Matrix Bonnet and HAT accessories, thanks to the RP1's PIO blocks \- [Adafruit Guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-matrix-panels-with-raspberry-pi-5) and [hackster.io](https://www.hackster.io/news/adafruit-s-piomatter-library-brings-hub75-rgb-led-matrix-support-to-the-raspberry-pi-5-s-rp1-chip-70bfb3c3bdd8).

+22:22 @tannewt (host)
+
+* Out Wednesday morning to put things back after floor install and before cleaners come.  
+* Working on Zephyr CP. Figured out crash due to two heaps in one place. Now debugging why connecting doesn’t work. Looks to be something with random via BLE.  
+* Going to continue down Zephyr networking.  
+* May get distracted by FruitJam when it arrives. Made a brainstorming issue this weekend: [https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/10045](https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/10045)  
+* Started discussion of TinyUF2 support for CP10. (Primarily enabling BLE on 4MB S3s instead of OTA.)
+
+24:10 @CGrover (text only)
+
+* Finished an Open-Meteo Weather Display project using an ESP32-S3 and 2.4-inch TFT FeatherWing. The Playground Note will be published today. [https://adafruit-playground.com/u/CGrover/pages/weather-display-using-open-meteo-s-api](https://adafruit-playground.com/u/CGrover/pages/weather-display-using-open-meteo-s-api)  
+* Playing With Plastics is the theme for this week. Trying to refine and document some techniques for hand machining and bending acrylic, ABS, and polycarbonate into project stands and enclosures. Turns out that KiCAD makes an excellent CAD tool for designing the glued-on paper fabrication templates, particularly when importing actual-size Adafruit Eagle footprints for things like the TFT FeatherWing PCB.
+
+24:52 @danh (out)
+
+* Got NINA-FW working with ECDSA cert chains. Thach’s PR was really fine, except that the firmware was running out of heap space. I reduced the number of available sockets from 7 to 6, which helped some. Community users helped me test. I then also reduced the root certificate file, mostly by discarding some discredited certs. That helped even more, and a test of many https sites now works without error.  
+* I released NINA-FW as 2.0.0-rc.0+adafruit, and will make a final release after Tyeth and others do some more testing.  
+* Did some more PR reviews and testing of things for a 9.2.5 release.
+
+25:44 @foamyguy
+
+* Started taking photos and creating guide pages for upcoming Steamboat Willie clock project featuring the new round displays. Designed and printed a basic box for it  
+* Testing the web-ide fixes  
+* Updating pio matter examples to use new configuration parameters and then will add a section to the learn guide that covers them.  
+* Figured out how to read data from generic USB PS3 controller and map incoming data to it’s correlated button presses.
+
+27:04 @jepler
+
+* Piomatter is in good shape, doing some improvements of the API & supporting more modules (those with swapped R/B pins)  
+* Made all the pi5 python libraries I write yesterday create docs on readthedocs.  
+* Working on fixing picodvi blanking when writing to flash on rp2350, but I have stuff to learn (interrupt priority). Current status: scratching my head
+
+29:06 @eightycc
+
+* Resolved a slew of performance/stability issues with lwIP on RP2  (pull \#10027) by configuring all memory allocations to use dynamic tlsf heap memory allocations. I need a small assist to resolve some git problems with Adafruit’s lwIP repo before this can merge.  
+* In the process of adding/testing RP2350 SHA-256 hardware acceleration to mbedtls config for the RP2 port. This should help with HTTPS performance.
+
+30:16 @SamBlenny (text only)
+
+* Learning my way around Zephyr and writing Playground guides about it.  
+* Working on a Zephyr board definition for Feather RP2350. Planning to try the Metro RP2350 and FruitJam once boards are available. Planning to look at display support (SPI, HSTX, maybe LVGL).

+## 17:05 Hug reports
+
+17:28 @foamyguy (hosting)
+
+* @PaulCutler for interviewing me for the CircuitPython show, and editing together a great episode of the podcast from it. It’s scheduled to release on April 21st, with other great episodes coming between now and then.  
+* @tannewt generally for the deep dive streams, and specifically for talking through some ideas for possible ways to implement emoji on the recent one.  
+* @BlitzCityDIY for guidance on writing learn guide pages and answering my many questions  
+* SerenityOS project for publishing their Emoji font and images for others to use
+
+18:26 @danh
+
+* @tyeth and @justmobilize for NINA-FW testing
+
+18:51 @jepler
+
+* @MichaelBell on github and mastodon for the awesome “dvhstx” library I’m using for some Arduino work (for the digital video output on rp2350)  
+* @cooper for helping out with some audio work in the core that should have fallen to me. And also for asking questions so I could clarify my thinking.  
+* @tannewt for helping one of my PRs be better than it was at the outset  
+* Somebody at adafruit for implementing an atom feed for the Adafruit Playground, I just added [https://adafruit-playground.com/playground/pages.atom](https://adafruit-playground.com/playground/pages.atom) to my RSS reader’s electronics folder. (spoke too soon, cloudflare protection is preventing the feed from actually loading in my feed reader; hopefully I can find someone who can let it work)
+
+20:04 @jerryn
+
+* Group hug  
+* SamBlenny for the Zephyr guides in the Playground
+
+
+  
+20:33 @tannewt
+
+* Hathach for debugging PIO usb host. Excited to try it with fixes  
+* Foamyguy for experimenting with emoji support in CP. I want to circle back to discuss options with you.
+
+## 21:01 Status Updates
+
+21:29 @foamyguy (hosting)
+
+* Wrote generic USB gamepad mapping code. Works with Feather RP2040 USB Host and prints out the data sent when buttons are pressed, or joysticks moved. Will use it for a guide page.  
+* Added support for USB HID game pads to GameControls library  
+* Working on Metro RP2350 guide pages  
+* Hacked together a Label-like class for displayio that can render emoji in addition to text. It’s quite limited, and has had no thought given toward efficiency in its implementation, but it does render mixed text and emoji successfully 🎉  
+  * Reported an issue with ImageLoad that crashed with some images and submitted a fix for it  
+  * Have observed a different issue where some images render improperly, but haven’t been able to pin down the root cause yet.
+
+23:18 @danh
+
+* Released NINA-FW 2.0.0+adafruit, which is the firmware used for AirLift co-processors. I’ll continue working on this, updating it to ESP-IDF 5.4, and investigating reducing its internal heap use and fragmentation.  
+* Also looking at why ESP32-C3 BLE is causing a boot loop after updating to ESP-IDF 5.3.2.
+
+25:16 @jepler
+
+* Added \`supervisor.runtime.display\` for any board with displayio, and wrote a playground note about it: [https://adafruit-playground.com/u/jepler/pages/supervisor-runtime-display-in-circuitpython-9-2-5](https://adafruit-playground.com/u/jepler/pages/supervisor-runtime-display-in-circuitpython-9-2-5)  
+  It’s basically the new and improved successor to \`board.DISPLAY\` and you can do useful stuff like configure a display in boot.py once and then use it in multiple runs of code.py, even on a board with no built in display that therefore lacks \`board.DISPLAY\`  
+* Added auto configuration of picodvi on metro rp2350 and feather rp2350. Defaults to 320x240@16bpp. This is the motivating reason to add supervisor.runtime.display right now.  
+* In piomatter, setting some ground work for a possible upcoming pi hat with 3 HUB75 connectors. This will involve moving the code that sets the mapping from framebuffer coordinates to matrix pixel coordinates into Python for additional flexibility.  
+* Also working in Arduino land creating a library for digital video on rp2350. The WIP is progressing. That’s where I’ll be putting the bulk of my time the coming week probably.
+
+28:19 @jerryn
+
+* Cleaning up issues in the RFM9X and RFM libraries – more \- In the Weeds  
+* Playing with OV5640 on the Pico2W and espcamera on some esp32s3 boards.  
+  * Resurrecting some dormant projects \- mostly sending snaps to AIO
+
+29:15 @tannewt
+
+* Polishing up Fruit Jam board definition to PR.  
+* Expanding supported HSTX framebuffer resolutions. 720x400 is good for wide screen.  
+* Testing USB Host after Thach’s fixes. Hoping to get it solid.  
+* Brainstorming terminal improvements for Fruit Jam:

+
+* This is clearly not a hot issue but there was a long-standing issue in the RFM9x library regarding using Spreading Factor=6 It has finally been fixed in the RFM library (pending PR- submitted 3 weeks ago…) but not in the RFM9x library. It adds code so I’m not sure we want to implement it in the RFM9X library due to the impact on the feather\_m0\_rfm9x build.  RFM library will not run on M0 boards – needs asyncio. Looking for guidance… Do you want the fix implemented in RFM9x?   Note: SF=6 also does not work in RadioHead library for Arduino. I reported it and they appear to just want to document it, not fix it. It creates additional issues for the “reliable datagram mode” which will not work for RFM library either.  It has only been requested a few times in the past several years.    
+* With this fix  – all Spreading Factors can work, but may require “tweaking” af some of the timing controls. A few issues in RFM9X are fixed in RFM, but not available in RFM9x. I have made notes in the RFM9x issues.     
+* Why is the espcamera module not included for the 4Mbyte esp32s3 builds? Just curious. I can build it myself.  
+  * @jepler: from looking at the file history, I see that my note on commit 0e26a937ccc8187aaf15f98c763a669dd7caa7a5 which disabled CIRCUITPY\_CAMERA on adafruit\_feather\_esp32s3\_4mbflash\_2mbpsram and other boards said “Disable camera everywhere it doesn't fit”. Elsewhere in the history there are notes that states “bitmapfilter does not fit on 4MB boards unless they are set up as camera boards”. If it fits now due to other changes, without disabling anything else, then we can consider enabling it.  
+  * @tannewt: these boards have less code space due to partition tables that support OTA. This may change in CircuitPython 10 & updated tinyuf2.

+#### Project of the Week: Raspberry Pi Map of Manhattan Shows Subway Train Status
+
+A project from Reddit user Bicapitate allows you to track NYC subway trains in real-time on a 3D-printed map of the island. The map shows the actual location of the subway trains using a Raspberry Pi connected to RGB LED matrices which in turn connect to the map via fiber optics run using Python \- [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/nycrail/comments/1ir8hfh/i_made_this_map_of_manhattan_that_displays_the/), [Tom's Hardware](https://www.tomshardware.com/raspberry-pi/this-raspberry-pi-map-of-manhattan-shows-real-time-subway-train-status) and [Adafruit Blog](https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/02/19/a-raspberry-pi-map-of-manhattan-which-shows-subway-train-status/).

+
+* @Neradoc for diving into the guts of our PNG decoding in ImageLoad to fix issues with indexed images that use filters other than 0 for scanline data.  
+* @jepler for the changes to supervisor.runtime.display  
+* @justin for working on secrets.py cleanup
+
+18:18 @jerryn
+
+* @foamyguy for reviewing, commenting on and merging the RFM library.  
+* Hug to all the Learning System Guide authors. I am being reminded how much work goes into them\!\!  
+* Group Hug
+
+18:45 @Justin \[Text only\]
+
+* @danh for reviewing my PRs for removing the reference of secrets \- everywhere….
+
+18:57 @tannewt
+
+* @CGrover for the chime library.  
+* @Cooper, @jepler and @gamblor21 for working on audio stuff.  
+* @jepler for hosting community meetings\!
+
+
+20:15 @tyeth \[Text only\]
+
+* Hug report for Justin and Dan for the esp secrets work.
+
+## 20:22 Status Updates
+
+@jepler (host)
+
+* All my activity last week was in Arduino land  
+  * Better HSTX video support on RP2350, including a very snazzy text mode  
+  * Ported a CP/M emulator to Metro RP2350  
+  * Found a workaround for a problem with pico-pio-usb on RP2350 overclocked to 264MHz (OC is requirement of HSTX video modes)  
+* All my activity this week will probably be in Arduino land  
+  * Porting MCUME emulator to Metro RP2350  
+* I’m 5 weeks away from the conclusion of my defined Adafruit work, and this is the last meeting I’ll be hosting. Another big group hug for everyone\! In the fall I hope to come back for some little projects & just to be part of the community. Y’all are the best.
+
+23:21 @danh
+
+* Getting the NINA-FW for AirLift co-processors to build on ESP-IDF 5.x. Currently it’s on 3.3.1. Reworked from make to CMake, added esp-idf and arduino-esp32 as submodules. Getting the compiler errors out now.  
+* Reviewed @Justin’s updates to remove remaining secrets.py usage in libraries. After that the Learn Guides will need some work by Tyeth and/or me. I have some other Learn Guide updates for ESP32SPI as well.
+
+25:59 @foamyguy
+
+* Removing 8.x compatible displayio code from bundle libraries  
+* Troubleshooting issue with rendering certain emoji png files. Test fix submitted to Imageload with the fix for this issue. Root cause was indexed pngs with scanlines that use non-zero filters  
+* Improvements to emoji text library: color support, ability to update text without creating a new object. Caching bitmaps / tilegrids from previous text and re-using them in new text for any matching characters.   
+* Wrote display code for a round display compass project
+
+27:51 @jerryn
+
+* Working on a long overdue guide to the RFM library. Fortunately, adapting existing code is simple – just a change in the import line of user code should be needed to migrate from RFM69/9x to RFM.  The guide will focus on the new features.
+
+28:26 @Justin \[Text only\]
+
+* Created a new ESP32SPI WiFiManager to not take in secrets and added a warning for when you use the old one.  
+* Updated a few libraries that referenced the old ESPSPI\_WiFiManager  that didn’t need to  
+* Cleaned up PortalBase to warn when using secrets, and updated it to handle the different names of AIO keys that have existed  
+* Cleaned up all the AdafruitIO example to not use secrets
+
+
+29:01 @tannewt
+
+* Two weeks until Japan trip. Out 3/7. In 3/10. Out 3/10-3/21. Back 3/24.  
+* Debugging USB timeout tracking in PIO USB Host. It doesn’t adjust for CPU speed or low vs full speed.
+
+## 31:42 In The Weeds
+
+@jerryn  – answered – no need to discuss.
+
+* I noticed that the ReadTheDocs  documentation for the Adafruit\_CircuitPython\_RFM library is not being generated. Can someone take a look at the repo and let me know what is missing or misconfigured.  
+  * I’ll likely be updating the examples as part of preparing the guide to its use but it would be nice to be able to refer to the Docs.   
+* @danh \- I will fix this. It needs a webhook added, and the project needs to be added as a subproject.

+### 3:15 Resources for Learning Embedded Systems
+
+When getting started working with embedded systems, there is a lack of information available to beginners. Embedded Artistry has gathered useful reference materials to get you started with programming and performing embedded systems development – [Embedded Artistry](https://embeddedartistry.com/beginners/).
+
+### 3:40 Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code
+
+Claude 3.7 Sonnet is out and it shows strong improvements in coding and front-end web development. Along with the model, Anthropic also introduced a command line tool for agentic coding, Claude Code. Claude Code is available as a limited research preview, and enables developers to delegate substantial engineering tasks to Claude directly from their terminal – [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-3-7-sonnet).  
+Examples:
+
+* A [Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1iyumpf/i_uploaded_a_27yearold_exe_file_to_claude_37_and/) detailing how someone took a 27-year-old visual basic EXE file, fed it to Claude 3.7, and watched as it reverse-engineered the program and rewrote it in Python.  
+* [Adafruit posts](https://x.com/adafruit/status/1895336439853822014) “We’re vibin’ with Claude 3.7 and writing uBlox drivers”, implementing a complex protocol driver using Claude 3.7.

+* And one for @foamyguy for turning a quick example into some documented and useful example\! 
+
+17:45 @Justin
+
+* Hug to danh, foamyguy and Tyeth for reviewing 33 and merging 30 PRs for removing secrets\!
+
+18:03 @tannewt
+
+* Thach for more TinyUSB improvements for Fruit Jam.  
+* Tim and RetiredWizard for terminal improvements.  
+* CupNooble for Sprout Lands assets packs. https://cupnooble.itch.io/
+
+18:45 @tyeth \[Text Only\]
+
+* Hug to Justin for tackling lots of networking/secrets things, but mostly for working on Adafruit\_CircuitPython\_JSON\_Stream to help save that RAM.  
+* Hug to Tim (foamyguy) for always putting out those weekend streams, it’s nice to be able to see live game dev and how semi-recent / bleeding-edge changes in circuitpython can be utilised
+
+## 19:15 Status Updates
+
+19:40 @danh (hosting)
+
+* Continuing to work on updating the NINA-FW firmware for AirLift co-processors. I was able to discard a lot of bespoke code in the original version, replacing it instead with the standard WiFi library in the arduino-esp32 board support package.  
+* Reviewed a bunch of @Justin’s secrets.py elimination PR’s.
+
+21:26 @anne  (offline)
+
+* Making a CircuitPython Breakout game for Metro RP2350 with USB Host keyboard input and DVI video via HSTX output. Learn Guide coming this week.
+
+21:56 @eightycc
+
+* Deep into an interesting issue involving RP2350 flash and HSTX/TDMS. The challenge is to keep DVI video running while not corrupting concurrent flash writes or crashing.
+
+22:25 @foamyguy
+
+* Round display compass project learn guide and intro video completed and published  
+* Update the screenshot utility to show PNG and JPG files, and to always show settings.toml file  
+* Wrote code for a flight radar that pulls data from open sky network and plots planes onto a round display styled like an green sweeping radar with circles  
+* First attempt at inverted color support for terminal  
+* Pi5 \+ RGB Matrix  
+  * Tested the new xvfb example with chocolate-doom and a few other programs  
+  * Research how to inject key events into app running inside of xvfb and found a thing called xdotool that can.  
+  * Wrote code to read raw keyboard input, convert it to xdotool compatible key names and send it into the app running in the virtual window. Will never again take for granted how much gets magically taken care of when I press arrow keys, ctrl modified keys, or the esc key on a keyboard.
+
+24:54 @jepler
+
+* Continued helping out with pico-pio-usb PR by testing. Also fixed one bug regarding switching to LS bit rate that affected overclocked RP2350s. Now it’s all working for me  
+* Added shorthand for “any kind of display”, “framebuffer”, and “display bus” to the docs and so that we can refer to them in type hints  
+* Most of my work has been on the MCUME emulator for rp2350 (fruit jam and probably later the matrix rp2350) as mentioned on the channel  
+* I’m taking a big trip from April through mid July. Our city list is settled. If you want to share travel tips about any of the cities we’ve got planned, DMs are open.  
+  * Rome  
+  * Naples / day trip Pompeii

+
+26:37 @Justin
+
+* Over the last two weeks, I’ve been working hard to remove all the secret usage from the examples (below is where I stand). After this is done, I’ll start tackling the learn guides (to the ability I can)  
+  * On February 21st, the bundle had:  
+    * secrets.py: 232 results in 115 files  
+    * secrets (word): 1067 results in 134 files  
+  * As of February 28th, the bundle had:  
+    * secrets.py: 30 results in 16 files  
+    * secrets (word): 179 results in 28 files  
+  * The remaining cases are either valid or in 3 open PRs (see in the weeds for resolving them)  
+    
+
+27:43 @tannewt
+
+* Out Friday and next Tuesday 11th until the 24th. (Going to Tokyo\!)  
+* Working to get USB host fixes checked in. Testing more changes from Thach.  
+* Also adding a “saves” partition to Fruit Jam for saving files even when CIRCUITPY is available too. Experimenting with onboard code editing.
+
+## 29:20 In The Weeds
+
+30:04 @foamyguy \- Raising minimum supported version of CPython for Blinka? Currently blinka lists \>=3.7 [https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit\_Blinka/blob/main/setup.py\#L63](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Blinka/blob/main/setup.py#L63) but some libraries use circuitpython\_typing which lists \>=3.8 [https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit\_CircuitPython\_Typing/blob/7ef83aa6a8bfa376d2fa9fceb912de0543ea3cf5/pyproject.toml\#L16](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Typing/blob/7ef83aa6a8bfa376d2fa9fceb912de0543ea3cf5/pyproject.toml#L16) Some of the types in circuitpython\_typing use syntax for type annotations that is unsupported in 3.7 so I think cases where those types are used the actual minimum version that will work is 3.8 however 3.8 is EoL now as well so maybe it would be good for us to increase both Blinka and circuitpython\_typing to something newer. 
+
+* @jepler: curious how this came to your attention. Did a user with an old python version run into it?  
+  * @Justin because I wanted to add toml support for reading settings.toml  
+  * @foamyguy A user in \#help-with-circuitpython was having trouble using Blinka with a sensor and they were on py3.7 getting the error about invalid syntax from circuitpython\_typing.  
+* @jepler again in my opinion no reason to support such old versions. “Debian Bullseye (now oldstable)” was released in 2021 with Python 3.9, and Python 3.9 is the current oldest version supported by python.org. Raspberry Pi OS releases since 2021-12-03 have been based on Debian 11 with Python 3.9. So, either 3.9 (to support oldstable / installs from December 2021\) or 3.11 (to support installs from October 2023). https://endoflife.date/python
+
+37:01 @Justin
+
+* getenv  
+  * In the examples, we have two types, is there a strong preference for what they should be?  
+    * import os; thing \= os.getenv(“thing”)  
+    * from os import getenv; thing \= getenv(“thing”)  
+* Blinka/CPython  
+  * The examples that used to point to secrets, I see two options, is there a strong preference for what they should be?  
+    * A comment like: “Get Adafruit IO keys, ensure these are setup in your environment”  
+    * Code to use tomllib/toml for loading the settings.toml file and grab the values from that dict (this would keep learn guides pretty similar, and need to add “toml; python\_version \< '3.11'” to the Blinka requirements

+* Group hug
+
+
+12:51 @danh (out)
+* @tannewt and @hathach for working on USB Host.
+* @eightycc for diagnosing RP2350 PSRAM DMA memory issue.
+
+
+13:07 @eightycc
+* Big hug to @tannewt, @danh, and @jepler for all the fine work they’ve done down in the engine room of CircuitPython. Magnificent job well done!
+
+
+13:26 @foamyguy
+* @JP for working with me to get through some issues experienced on the on the Pi5 with RGB matrices resolved and @Jepler for a suggestion that ultimately led to the solution for one of our issues.
+* @MarkGamblor for suggestions about a more efficient way to store mapped colors when Palette is used vs. ColorConverter
+* @tannewt for encouragement and input on tile palette mapper module. I took a step back from implementing it and testing it, to just play with it some last night and am gaining even more appreciation for the flexibility that this module can provide for re-coloring bitmaps.
+* @Jepler for another round of improvements to the PioMatter library. 
+
+
+14:40 @jepler
+* @eightycc for excellent sleuthing to resolve a picodvi crash
+* @relic-se for the pitch shift audio effect
+* @anne_engineer for her Matrix demo building on the arduino dvi hstx library, so cool!
+* Group hug
+15:16 Status Updates
+15:36 @Liz (hosting)
+* This week I published the [Portable Macrodata Refinement Terminal Learn Guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/portable-macrodata-refinement-terminal). I'm really proud of this project. I put a lot of work into the Python code and 3D design to channel the vibe of Severance. It's really satisfying to use with the trackball mouse, and I hope that it can be a useful example for folks looking to build their own.
+
+
+16:11 @anne (lurking/working on other things)
+* Published a guide on the CircuitPython Breakout Game on the Adafruit Learning System for the Metro RP2350 (compatible with other HSTX + USB Host boards). I also made a Matrix display program in Arduino. It’d be a good candidate for a conversion to CircuitPython (hint: @foamyguy)
+
+
+16:33 @danh (out)
+* NINA-FW progress for AirLift:
+   * Updated to ESP-IDF v5.3.x.
+   * Using mostly existing arduino-esp32 libraries. Building with CMake structure, with arduino-esp32 as a component. 
+   * Started porting to ESP32-C6
+
+
+16:55 @eightycc
+* Submitted PR #10116, a package of miscellaneous fixes for Framebuffer found while working on issue #10104 (see below). Should make Framebuffer a bit more stable.
+* Resolved issue #10104, double-fault during flash filesystem erase with concurrent picodvi.Framebuffer operation. The root cause was simple, but debugging was complicated by complete loss of XIP access to flash. Had to resort to manually deconstructing the stack in SRAM as higher level gdb commands were themselves double-faulting.
+* Wrote up issue #10125 as an enhancement request for a facility to allocate memory in SRAM for DMA buffers. In a nutshell, on PSRAM equipped RP2350 boards it’s unpredictable whether memory allocations come from SRAM or PSRAM, especially as the heap ages. DMA will fail if it attempts to access PSRAM.
+
+
+18:18 @foamyguy
+* Flappy nyan cat game for Metro RP2350 learn guide completed
+* Testing USB host things on MetroRP2350 and Fruit Jam
+   * Made a very basic mouse test script with a moving cursor
+   * Slightly more fun test with draggable playing cards
+   * Successfully tested both keyboard and mouse at the same time on Fruit Jam
+* Pi 5 RGB Matrix 
+   * Working on new guide page for the X window virtual display functionality
+   * Test and review what I can from the new functionality added in a PR
+
+
+19:33 @jepler
+* Added support for multiple connectors & “temporal dithering” to piomatter on Pi5 (PR is in progress).
+   * On a 64x64 panel, 100FPS at 10 bit planes is now possible. With 3 connectors, 128x192 with 10 bit planes would still be able to go at about 50fps
+   * It works with lower bit depths as well, 5bpp goes from 135->210fps, or over 100fps if you had 6 panels on 3 connectors. And it looks great.
+   * More work needs to be done enabling multi connectors easily without needing to copy & paste code to define the matrix “map”
+* Merged the pitch shift audio effect PR
+* Worked in Arduino land on the HSTX video library & with MCUME emulator
+* This week: 
+   * More emulator work in Arduino & pico-sdk land
+   * Review Scott’s “SAVES” partition code
+In The Weeds
+* None

+### 3:20 CircuitPython.Org to Get an Update
+
+CircuitPython.org will be updated soon with a fresh new look. CircuitPython has come a long way since the original landing page for [CircuitPython.org](https://circuitpython.org/) was created. The new design will focus on what is possible with CircuitPython. And there will be a new Made with CircuitPython badge that will show off the wide range of projects all created with CircuitPython. Each time the page is loaded, it will show off different projects throughout the page.

+The new design will do a better job of explaining CircuitPython to those who are new to the language. It also does a better job of organizing the most used aspects of the site, like the individual board pages. This new design is already complete and is under review. So expect to see this update very soon\! \- [Adafruit Blog](https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/03/11/coming-soon-a-new-circuitpython-org/).

+## 13:00 Hug reports
+
+13:28 @tannewt (host)
+
+* @blitzcitydiy for hosting for me last minute last week.  
+* @ladyada for documenting her LLM coding assistant journey. Claude Code is very powerful.
+
+14:08 @anecdata (text only)
+
+* @eightycc for digging in to some PIO UART issues
+
+14:17 @danh
+
+* @hathach for NINA-FW work: getting it to run on ESP32-C6 and getting Bluetooth to work
+
+14:46 @foamyguy
+
+* Scott for looking into new ways to load fonts  
+* @MichalPokusa and @tyeth for help with JS bluefruit connect packet and byte manipulation formats  
+* Jeff for continued help and improvements to piomatter  
+* @MakerMelissa for showing a really cool circuitpython implementation of chip’s challenge on S\&T last week.
+
+15:36 @jepler
+
+* Tim & jp for testing piomatter changes & finding problems  
+* Tim & Liz for taking on the task of documenting some of the emulator work I’m doing on fruit jam
+
+16:20 @mark\[gamblor\] (missing probably)
+
+* @Jepler for a discussion on fixed point and integer / floating point math in audio processing that sent me down a rabbit hole I had not thought about before
+
+## 16:48 Status Updates
+
+17:08 @tannewt (host)
+
+* Was around last week after Japan trip was cancelled due to me getting a stomach bug. We leave Friday for a shorter California trip. Back next Thursday the 27th.  
+* Adding LVGL font binary format loading to bitmap font library. Looks very useful for us. Branch is here: [https://github.com/tannewt/Adafruit\_CircuitPython\_Bitmap\_Font/tree/lvfontbin](https://github.com/tannewt/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bitmap_Font/tree/lvfontbin)  
+* Now adding it to CircuitPython so we can load glyphs from the filesystem into the terminal. This will help us support emoji and other languages with large alphabets with a large number of characters (korean and japanese). Using Claude Code to get much of it in place. Very neat to have it reference the Python library when generating the C code.
+
+19:23 @danh
+
+* Updating NINA-FW firmware for AirLift co-processors:  
+  * Can use a lot of the arduino-esp32 libraries instead of existing code in the NINA-FW repo.  
+  * Got TLS and HTTPS working.  
+  * ESP32-C6 port is working on both an Espressif dev board and a Feather C6.  
+  * Thach just reported he got Bluetooth working.  
+  * Need to get the “data available” pin working.  
+* Releasing CircuitPython 9.2.5 is still on my short list.
+
+21:59 @eightycc
+
+* Noodling around with RP2350 clocks and timing. Got some basic timing tests running at 240 MHz. Also got PSRAM QSPI clocked up to 120 MHz after I discovered the “secret sauce” by turning on PSRAM wrap boundary mode. 240 MHz is an integral multiple of 48 MHz, potentially freeing up the USB PLL for use as an HSTX clock, allowing accurate pixel clock generation. This also works at 144 MHz, so we could stay inside the RP2350’s documented clock limits and still free up the USB PLL. Having SYS\_CLK at a multiple of 48 MHz would also benefit Pico-PIO-USB in full-speed mode by avoiding the jitter inherent in using a fractional divider for the PIO clock.
+
+23:27 @foamyguy
+
+* Snake game for metro RP2350 learn guide  
+* Experimenting with multiple mice  
+* Wrote code for a memory game  
+* Trying improvements to PioMatter and helping troubleshoot with JP. Also tested mirroring from a USB HDMI adapter to the matrix panels.  
+* Got help from claude to convert arduino matrix example to circuitpython using the new tile palette mapper module  
+* Started implementing an HTTPServer script that sends bluefruit connect compatible packets over websockets / WIFI instead of BLE. 
+
+26:12 @jepler
+
+* Not a lot of circuitpython activity again  
+* Updates to piomatter improving temporal dithering.  
+* I tried to remove a workaround but it turns out the workaround is still needed  
+* Over in pico-sdk land I’m working on making the pico-mac emulator work as well as possible on fruit jam rp2350  
+* Just two weeks before my big trip\! So i’m getting a bit antsy, if we’re being honest.  
+* My last regular day is March 28\!
+
+## 27:40 In The Weeds
+
+@tyeth
+
+* 28:00 Frozen Libraries \- Can we do a minor/patch release weekly if there are updated frozen modules, users can’t find the current version number and don’t often find the necessary info to support updating them, and the general library advise to stick everything in lib doesn’t work (and it’s discouraged to chuck all libraries in root). Circup could be made aware of frozen modules and how to place them correctly, but many users don’t use circup.  
+  Easiest seems to do a round up release if any frozen modules have changed in last week. Thoughts? Maybe can be part of weekly report as to which / how many frozen modules have been updated since last release...  
+  * @danh: I plan to update the frozen libraries for 9.2.5 release.
+
+* 32:39 State of Ruff in the circuitpython libraries / An update mechanism for the cookiecutter projects? (@tyeth \- maybe offline) The ruff rules don’t currently catch basic errors in examples like missing imports / undeclared variables seen in MiniMQTT (so I’ve temporarily bumped version of ruff and added two rules).   
+  Having chatted with Tim briefly on the subject (thanks Tim+Dan+Justin) it seems the original transition goal was to duplicate any pylint rules we specifically wanted into the ruff config. This inadvertently overwrites the default included rule categories.  
+  I’ve now seen that there is an extends mechanism (select-extends too) so we don’t need to select “instead” but maybe “as well” (Dan also suggested taking Micropythons ruleset now as it didn’t exist when we transitioned, although warns they are more loose with rulesets generally).   
+  There is also the desire to have project specific rules overriding our defaults. The issue is cookie cutter projects won’t get updates to new pre-commit.yaml and ruff rules (pyproject.tom / ruff.toml / ruff-base.toml).  
+  So we can possibly have a github stored ruleset, that is duplicated to each cookiecutter project called ruff-base.toml (and can re-fetch in future via a script) and then that is extended by the project specific one. This works similarly for pyproject.toml instead (ruff.toml takes precedence).   
+  I’m aware that adabot can do some things automatically, maybe we can take out a PR on community libraries with the cookiecutter updates, and equally a user could run something like \`cookie-cutter update\` in repo, or pre-commit clean would also fetch the latest base ruleset from github too.

+  * Submitted a pair of issues relating to audio playback during the animation, and reduced display performance under certain conditions  
+* Updated the CircuitPython port of the Matrix code to use more colors and to add the letters in “adafruit” and “jam” to the spritesheet used for the falling glyphs. Cleaned up and added comments to the code and submitted it to the learn repo  
+* Made a launcher menu with mouse control to other launch apps/games on the Fruit Jam and take back over when they exit  
+* Figured out how to use a combo keyboard / mouse device with USB Host and wrote a submitted a PR to usb\_host\_descriptor library with a helper function for finding a valid mouse endpoint on a device.   
+* Cleaned up code/docstrings and submitted PR with ColorConverter support for the TilePaletteMapper module.
+
+25:30 @jepler
+
+* All my work has been in Arduino / pico-sdk land  
+* Leaving Tuesday April 1 for an extended trip in Europe.

+14:57 Status Updates
+15:18 @Liz (hosting)
+* This past week I worked on some CircuitPython code for an asteroid tracker targeting the 2024 YR4 asteroid. I used two free NASA API’s, sentry and close approach, to fetch the date, % of earth impact and how many miles it will be from earth and the moon. To make the display a little more interesting, I added a small asteroid bitmap that flies across the display diagonally
+* From wednesday-friday i’ll be out on a quick vacation to visit some family, so i’m looking forward to that
+

More work to do on this. Next steps are to file an issue on ChromeOS, and to get some USB traces to see what is going on at the MSC level.
+* Fixing various bugs for 10.0.0 and reviewing PR’s.
+
+
+17:40 @eightycc
+* Deep in the weeds on issue #9937. This is a crashing bug affecting ESP32-S3 that manifests while running an idle http host. Going deep with JTAG and a variety of ESP-IDF and OpenRTOS debugging tools I’ve been unable to isolate it. Time-boxing it for now so I can move on to other 10.0.0 milestone issues.

+## 15:24 Hug reports
+
+16:00 @tannewt (hosting)
+
+* @ladyada and @pt for following all of the tariff changes.  
+* @RetiredWizard for working on adding multi-display support and being open to large changes.
+
+16:43 @danh
+
+* @eightycc for figuring out Microchip flash chip idiosyncrasies.  
+* @Allen Wright from Microchip for helping with the flash chips and @Ross from Microchip for getting Allen involved.  
+* @anecdata for pointing out `cyw43` support for power management.
+
+17:44 @eightycc
+
+* @danh for all the help getting a sam e54 xplained board flashed, and for teaching me that the j-link tools are really better in many cases.  
+* @tannewt for going deep into gc. Fascinating stuff\!
+
+18:14 @foamyguy
+
+* @tannewt for digging deep into garbage collection in search of improvements for displayio animations and audio playback  
+* @Justin for continuing to work on secrets.py \-\> settings.toml changes in the learn repo
+
+18:51 @RetiredWizard (text only)
+
+* @tannewt for providing direction on my attempt to implement multiple display support, and what I’m sure is going to turn out to be many future corrections on my efforts down wrong paths.
+
+## 19:10 Status Updates
+
+19:41 @tannewt (hosting)
+
+* Improved I2S out by making sure it allocates DMAd buffers into internal SRAM.  
+* PR to add working dir to set\_next\_code\_file and adding pathlib has two samd builds that are too large. Then it’ll be set.  
+* Tested Larsio paint.  
+  * DMA memory allocation change helps a bunch.  
+  * Mouse from the shop is acting weird for me. It disconnects from the hub briefly. So brief that TinyUSB only sees a new connect and no disconnect. It re-enums the new device but doesn’t “disconnect” the old one so it leaks. Filed issue for Thach here: [https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb/issues/3073](https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb/issues/3073)  
+  * Experimented with allocating Bitmap buffers outside of the MP heap and GC collect times dropped from 200ms to \~40ms. Helps the audio squawks a bunch.  
+  * Printing slows down due to changing the CP console terminalio even when it isn’t showing. May tweak that.  
+* Adding a “collect” bit to MP heap management so that memory has to be opted into being collected. This should make collect times much shorter when large buffers are allocated. This is especially true with external PSRAM. Collects will blow the cache away by scanning a bunch of memory. The cache is shared with flash. So, it impacts flash accesses as well.
+
+
+24:09 @danh
+
+* Filed issue on ChromeOS re SAMD UF2 bootloader not showing up, with logs. [https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/409576876](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/409576876).  
+* RP2xxxx I2S audio: left/right channels are flipped in 3 out of 4 cases. Investigating.  
+* Adding WiFi power management settings on Espressif and making them uniform across Espressif and CYW43.  
+* After these, will work on no-OTA-partition change for 10.0.0 on 4MB Espressif boards.
+
+
+26:53 @eightycc
+
+* Fixed a couple of stubborn bugs preventing Microchip SST26VFxxxB flash parts from working with CircuitPython.  
+* Implemented BOOTSEL entry to safe mode for RP2 boards with RP235x parts.  
+* Continue update of ESP-IDF to version 5.4.1.
+
+27:40 @foamyguy
+
+* Updating learn guide pages for secrets.py \-\> settings.toml changes  
+* Submitted Match3 game guide for moderation and a few changes from feedback  
+* USB SNES like controller guide pages and CircuitPython example code. Found compatibility issues with certain devices and versions of CircuitPython and filed an issue, also tested a newer version of pico-pio-usb. Will work on an arduino example next.  
+* Released adafruit\_anchored\_group library and added it to the bundle.  
+* Two infrastructure fixes: CST8XX library was always failing its gh\_release action and is fixed now, circuitpython-build-tools was getting a warning from pypi for a name that doesn’t comply with PEP 625, fixed by updating the version of python used to build it.  
+* Did a bit of work and made a new release for Blinka\_DisplayIO\_PyGame\_Display library to get it working with the latest Blinka DisplayIO. Removed support for auto\_refresh due to issues with threading between pygame and displayio.  
+* Started implementing bitmaptools in Blinka\_DisplayIO.
+
+31:03 @RetiredWizard (text only)
+
+* Attempting to wrap my head around Micropython/Circuitpython finalizers so they can be used for displayio object releases. I hope to have a draft PR for multiple display support posted this week.
+
+## 31:34 In The Weeds
+
+31:54 @danh: Consolidate [https://github.com/circuitpython/CircuitPython\_Org\_Bundle](https://github.com/circuitpython/CircuitPython_Org_Bundle) into [https://github.com/adafruit/CircuitPython\_Community\_Bundle](https://github.com/adafruit/CircuitPython_Community_Bundle) ? The CircuitPython\_Org bundle has only three libraries, all `displayio`\-related, and has not been updated for two years. The bundle is not listed in [https://circuitpython.org/libraries](https://circuitpython.org/libraries).
+
+* Move those libraries to the community bundle and archive the org bundle.  
+* Remove mechanisms for that bundle, including in circup  
+* If the idea is that the community bundle is community supported, could move the community bundle to the `circuitpython` org.

+### \#\#\# Improving Garbage Collection Time in CircuitPython
+
+Garbage collection is the process where in-use memory is reclaimed for reuse. The Python language doesn’t require the programmer to explicitly request and free memory instead it is tracked internally. However, the process to determine which memory is still in use can be slow and requires extra memory to track. CircuitPython developer Scott Shawcroft has developed an algorithm to quickly collect unused memory and return it to use, increasing speed and space \- [Adafruit Blog](https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/04/28/improving-garbage-collection-time-in-circuitpython/).
+
+### \#\#\# 02:41 CircuitPython 10.0.0-alpha.3 is Out
+
+CircuitPython 10.0.0-alpha.3, an alpha release for 10.0.0, is now out. Further features, changes, and bug fixes will be added before the final release of 10.0.0 \- [GitHub](https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/releases/tag/10.0.0-alpha.3).
+
+Highlights of this release
+
+* A number of new audio effects.  
+* Improved garbage collection times  
+* ESP-IDF update to 5.4.1  
+* Improved audio playback on RP2

+
+## 12:58 Status Updates
+
+@Liz
+
+* I’ve been working on a CircuitPython-powered two axis camera slider. This is a collab project with Noe and the Learn Guide should be live this week. This slider uses two TMC2209 stepper motor drivers that are controlled via UART. I put a lot of work into the menu system and two different operating modes (timelapse and one-shot).  
+* I’ve also started working on my next robot instrument. It’s a small kid’s piano xylophone that will be played with solenoid motors. This uses the new I2C to 8 Channel Solenoid Driver breakout that is essentially a small STEMMA version of the very large perma-proto circuit I put together for my robot xylophone project. This makes the build solderless and a lot more accessible.
+
+14:39 @eightycc
+
+* Finally found the root cause of the Python interpreter crashes with CP 10.alpha2 on ESP32-C3 and ESP32-C6. It came down to interaction between garbage collection and gcc RISC-V code generation. RISC-V code gen was partially materializing a pointer to compiled Python code, then calling garbage collection, and finally completing materialization of the pointer. Because it was not fully materialized, garbage collection saw the memory allocated to the compiled Python code as free and reclaimed it. Subsequent execution of the code resulted in memory corruption and a crash. The problem was exacerbated with ESP-IDF 5.4.1, which included gcc 14.2.0 with more aggressive code optimization.
+
+15:49 @foamyguy
+
+* Move remaining circuitpython-org repos to community bundle and update their infrastructure files, also removed circuitpython-org as a choice from cookiecutter and a few other updates to cookiecutter versions used for actions utils  
+* Testing USB Host with direct IO pin connections and various builds of circuitpython with different versions of tinyusb and pico-pio-usb  
+* Finish bitmaptools implementations for Blinka Displayio and submit PR  
+* Fix for TilePaletteMapper memory alloc issue from recent change  
+* Adafruit\_fruitjam library with request\_display\_config() function  
+* Fruit Jam OS  
+  * Implemented pagination for launcher icons  
+  * Adapted editor code from an older project to work with a Terminal instance instead of stdout and integrated it with the launcher  
+  * Added additional features to editor: hotkeys for mount writeable, run the code file, and save without exiting, use a mocked argv file as input to determine which file to launch  
+  * Refactored the boot animation to its own file and implemented mock argv files for boot.py and the launcher that allow them to launch other specified files, these are used by the editor. 
+
+19:06 @mark\[gamblor21\] (missing)
+
+* Given a few absences at the moment if anyone needs reviews done feel free to tag me on the PR. I’ll do my best to look during evenings/weekend.
+
+19:19 @tannewt (notes only)
+
+* Working as the baby sleeps. (\~2 hours a day)  
+* Fixed finaliser issue.  
+* Tried doing two releases but the release script is failing. It is my priority.  
+* Working on iMX missing pins fix.

+## 11:37 Hug reports
+
+Eightycc (hosting)
+
+* Neradoc for help and advice on \#9171 web workflow freezes  
+* Dan for all the help and support over the last week  
+* Group hug\! Have I mentioned that I love the CircuitPython project and the team? I do.
+
+@danh
+
+* @eightycc for fixing a regression in 10.0.0-alpha.5 on Saturday so I was able to do a quick fix release.
+
+David Glaude (not present):
+
+* FoamyGuy for taking over the Deep Dive, I actually like the one hour format, and the last one on Sparkle was really helpful for me to know how to handle ESP32 CircuitPython like my Lillygo 2020 v3 smart watch.  
+* Neradoc for sharing his watch face (CP Code) for the Lillygo 2020 v3 smart watch.
+
+Foamyguy
+
+* @justmobilize and @anecdata for looking into and discussion around an issue with adafruit\_requests and 204 response status  
+* @jepler for popping in and answering a question I posted in discord.  
+* @joepardue on Github for submitting a library to the community bundle and working through the release and bundling issues
+
+## 14:20 Status Updates
+
+Eightycc (hosting)
+
+* Working on 10.0.0 issues. The list keeps getting smaller.  
+* Working on an interesting ESP32-S2 issue that is causing web workflow to sputter and freeze.
+
+
+@danh
+
+* Released CircuitPython 10.0.0-alpha.5 on Thursday to include a bunch of new changes. Regression on various ARM boards found: @eightycc fixed it on Saturday and I released alpha.6 Saturday night with that fix.  
+* alpha.5 and later include the new partition scheme for 4MB Feather ESP32-S3. Wrote up Guide page how to upgrade the TinyUF2 bootloader to allow using that build: [https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-esp32-s3-feather/update-tinyuf2-bootloader-for-circuitpython-10-4mb-boards-only](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-esp32-s3-feather/update-tinyuf2-bootloader-for-circuitpython-10-4mb-boards-only) . Anyone who has a chance, try it out, and see if the instructions are clear.  
+* eightycc and I triaged the remaining 10.0.0 bugs this morning. There are less than 20 left.
+
+David Glaude (not present):
+
+* Zero progress on documenting my EVCC monitoring on PyPortal (reading status from MQTT and presenting on screen) “As seen on “Show and Tell”.  
+* Finally succeeded to use my “Lillygo 2020 v3 Smart Watch” with CircuitPython… maybe I could reuse my EVCC/MQTT code to have a watch that display my solar panel electric production and the charging of my car.  
+* Soldering my Franken Fruit Jam (but I am missing Product ID: 4449 “**USB Type A Jack Breakout Cable** with Premium Female Jumpers”)  
+* Testing with Anne Matrix demo (found out that maybe reporting error/problem with learn guide is broken)
+
+Foamyguy
+
+* Converting all libraries to use ruff instead of pylint and black. Used claude code to help with some of the tedious parts of the process and learned a lot about to get it up and running inside of a container and refining workflow and prompts to distill the parts it’s good at down to very concise instructions that it’s able to complete quickly.  
+  * Found a few repos with unrelated problems during the process and created issues for them that I will go back and fix this week  
+* Working on Sparkle Motion Stick CircuitPython guide pages

+* Group hug. Miss y’all\!
+
+## 21:01 Status Updates
+
+21:36 @foamyguy (hosting)
+
+* Tested examples and wrote learn guide pages for Sparkle Motion Stick with CircuitPython and a few of the Arduino ones  
+* Completed the issues that popped up during the ruff conversion but were unrelated to it.  
+* Ported the OPT4048 Arduino driver to CircuitPython  
+  * Made a new version of the web demo that gets hosted under adafruit\_httpserver on the device, and uses websocket to communicate data from the sensor instead of webserial so it works in all browsers.  
+  * Created a primitive system for transmitting bytes of data by flashing colors on an RGB LED and reading them with the OPT4048 sensor. Not practical, but a fun exercise in “I wonder if I can make it do this”  
+* Library PR reviews
+
+
+  
+
+23:37 @danh
+
+* Debugging a sleep problem on nRF52840: after deep sleep, HID doesn’t work, but still appears to be connected.  
+* A GitHub user offered USB traces that may be relevant to the problem we’re having with ChromeOS and the SAMD UF2 bootloader. My traces don’t show the same issue, though.  
+* Fixed I2CTarget problem.
+
+24:17 @david.glaude (not present)
+
+* Ported my EVCC+MQTT visualisation from PyPortal to T-Watch 2020 V3  
+  * Getting “Gemini 2.5 Flash” to make my code co-execute together with existing asyncio code that handle the watch button/irq  
+  * Hitting limitation in minimqtt.loop that is blocking and that does not play well with asyncio code  
+  * Making sure the same code works on Memento (same resolution, also use Espressif, much easier to use for me than Web Workflow)  
+  * Adapting PyPortal 320x240 design to 240x240 screen space  
+* Franken’s Fruit Jam on Metro RP2350  
+  * Testing Matrix screensaver (and found a breaking API change between 9 and 10.0.6-alpha)  
+  * Soldering a USB-A Host connector  
+  * Playing MineSweeper to test the mouse  
+  * Ranting on USB pin order on Adafruit USB Hub breakout
+
+25:58 @eightycc
+
+* Working on RP2350 sleep modes. I have light sleep and dormant deep sleep working. Power manager low-power mode is proving to be challenging.
+
+27:00 @jepler (no mic)
+
+* Added a new compiler flag to most ports (-Wold-style-definition) and fixed resulting diagnostics.  
+* Filed a PR that gets rid of a couple of CIRCUITPY-CHANGEs by using a newer macro used by micropython. Should be no behavioral difference but I have no HW to test it on while traveling.  
+* I’ve been working on a version of the unix port that can play audio (synthio etc) on a host computer. This is pushed to my personal github fork. Will not be PR’d anytime soon, probably  
+* Past the halfway point of my Europe trip, sleeping in Malmö Sweden tonight.

+
+12:42 @Liz (hosting)
+
+* Last week I worked on a CircuitPython library for the SEN6x sensors. This library is used in the Learn Guide for the new SEN6x STEMMA QT adapter breakout which will likely be live later this week.  
+* This week I wrote some CircuitPython code for an LED matrix clock. It uses two of the STEMMA QT IS31FL3741 breakouts for the clock display with an ESP32-S3 QT Py and Audio BFF for some audio alarm functionality. I’ll also be working on documenting the INA237 breakout.
+
+13:33 @danh
+
+* Fixed mpy-cross builds to be statically linked again (regression during a previous merge).  
+* Switched from gcc13 to gcc14 on circuitpython `main` branch.  
+* Did reviews.  
+* Working on MicroPython v1.24.1 merge. Going smoothly so far. Will do v1.25 after that.
+
+15:01 @david.glaude (not present)
+
+* Progress on displaying EVVC (Solar panel and EV car charging) on various hardware, while trying to keep a single code base:  
+* Trying to dynamically adapt to various screen sizes from different hardware.  
+  * Will need to change font size depending on screen size, or display less information on smaller screens.  
+* Creating a function (in a separate python file) to isolate the network initialisation. It does detect the board or using the right calls for a AirLift or WizNet Featherwing (based on an extra variable in settings.toml). The function returns socket\_pool and ssl\_context for later use with minimqtt.  
+* Creating a Text only version, using print rather than displayio, to be able to test the network code on picoW or other board without screen attached.  
+* Currently working combo:  
+  * PyPortal  
+  * Memento  
+  * T-Watch (and other Lilygo ESP+Screen board)  
+  * Feather RP2040 \+ FeatherWing AirLift \=\> Text only output  
+  * Feather RP2350 \+ FeatherWing WizNet \=\> HSTX/DVI output
+
+16:00 @foamyguy
+
+* Finished OPT4048 driver and guide  
+* Updating 8.x displayio API usage in many libraries, almost through all of them found from a search in github  
+* Added AnyDisplay type annotation to circuitpyhon\_typing  
+* Blinka Displayio \- Removed 8.x API compatibility & fixed circular import issue  
+* Wrote code for Feather S2 deep sleep and post data to AIO example and troubshooting an issue with corrupted flash
+
+## 18:26 In The Weeds
+
+@david.glaude (not present)
+
+* Is there an easy way to autodetect what network stack is possibly available on a board? \=\> Are the following assumptions right? How would you suggest doing that?  
+  * Assumption 1: If the module “wifi” is present, you are on an ESP or PicoW/Pico2W and you should use that.  
+    * *Yes, though “should” is relative… you may have more than one network interface (@anecdata \- text only)*  
+  * Assumption 2: If this is a board with built-in AirLift (PyPortal, Metro X+AirLift, …) then there are pins with a specific name that you can identify the availability of an AirLift. \=\> What pin is unique and common to board with AirLift?  
+    * *ESP\_CS is usually the pin name (@danh)*  
+  * Assumption 3: It is hard to tell if a Feather has an AirLift or WizNet FeatherWing attach, it is easier to have a env variable for that.  
+    * *You could define your own env variable for that purpose, because there is no strong CircuitPython need to have such a variable pre-defined (@danh)*  
+    * *Or you could completely define the “radio” in an imported python file and use that radio base for wifi, airlift, or ethernet (@anecdata \- text only)*  
+* Do you know if it is possible (or plan) to build an AirLift for the FruitJam?  
+  * There are exposed additional pins on the FruitJam, but I don’t know if an (additional) SPI bus is possible on those while using every other feature from the board.  
+  * If possible, then can the “Adafruit AirLift Shield \- ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor” [https://www.adafruit.com/product/4285](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4285) provide the same feature for the “Franken’s Fruit Jam”?   
+  * *Product version of Fruit Jam will probably have an ESP32-C6 (@danh)*

+### A Coordinated Python Security Update Release
+
+To fix six vulnerability reports, the Python Software Foundation simultaneously released five new versions of Python. Python 3.13.4, 3.12.11, 3.11.13, 3.10.18 and 3.9.23 are now available. In addition to the security fixes, a few additional changes to ipaddress were backported to make the edits feasible – [Python Discussion Forum](https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-4-3-12-11-3-11-13-3-10-18-and-3-9-23-are-now-available/94367).

+### 3:22 What is Vibe Coding? A Computer Scientist Explains What It Means to Have AI Write Computer Code − and What Risks That Can Entail
+
+Vibe coding leans on standard patterns of technical language, which AI systems use to piece together original code from their training data. Any beginner can use an AI assistant such as GitHub Copilot or Cursor Chat, put in a few prompts, and let the system get to work – [The Conversation](https://theconversation.com/what-is-vibe-coding-a-computer-scientist-explains-what-it-means-to-have-ai-write-computer-code-and-what-risks-that-can-entail-257172) and [YouTube](https://youtu.be/P7lryCIvxgA).
+
+“AI tools do this without any real grasp of specific rules, edge cases or security requirements for the software in question. This is a far cry from the processes behind developing production-grade software, which must balance trade-offs between product requirements, speed, scalability, sustainability and security. Skilled engineers write and review the code, run tests and establish safety barriers before going live.”

+### 4:42 The Wrong Way to Use AI (and How to Actually Write Better Code with LLMs)
+
+**![The Wrong Way to Use AI](https://shawnhymel.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/claude-4-refactor-thumbnail.png)**
+
+Claude 4’s beautifully broken refactor is a perfect metaphor for engineering in 2025\. Tools are improving rapidly. But they’re only as useful as the engineer wielding them. When AI outputs a beautifully structured but non-compiling refactor, it’s not a failure, it’s a mirror, revealing where human judgment still matters most. For developers serious about continuously learning, that mirror is invaluable – [Shawn Hymel](https://shawnhymel.com/2759/the-wrong-way-to-use-ai-and-how-to-actually-write-better-code-with-llms/).

+* @Timeline8 for fixing a board issue
+
+15:10 @david.glaude (absent)
+
+* @danh and @anecdata for help and suggestions for my [network.py](http://network.py) include file (in the weeds of last week).  
+* @foamyguy for FruitJam work and video.
+
+15:36 @foamyguy
+
+* @shubham0x13 on github for submitting a convenience feature for anchoring Labels and being open to feedback about moving it elsewhere and making it more generic to work with other objects
+
+## 16:00 Status Updates
+
+16:36 @danh (hosting)
+
+* Merging MicroPython v1.24.1 into CircuitPython. I’ve finished the initial file merging and will start testing compilations and running tests. After this I’ll merge v1.25.  
+* Will test C6 version of NINA-FW for use on the Fruit Jam board, for WiFi and BLE.
+
+17:46 @foamyguy
+
+* Startup Screens learn guide that talks about them generally and details the experience working on the Fruit Jam startup  
+* Working on Fruit Jam library adding peripherals implementations for built-in hardware  
+* Factorio integration with CircuitPython. Achieved successful communication both ways. Want to refactor some more and get it into a shareable state and document how it works. Perhaps it can serve as a gateway to microcontrollers and circuitpython for the factorio community.
+
+## 19:52 In The Weeds
+
+We only have three hosts available for the weekly meeting for now. We have a weekly schedule through the end of June. How would every other week be if we did that for part of the summer?
+
+## 22:46 Wrap-Up
+
+Monday June 16, 2025 will be our next meeting, at the regular time.

+
+## 20:45 In The Weeds
+
+21:17 @tekktrik (not present)
+
+* There was some discussion around moving away from “dynamic” requirements (requirements.txt) and moving towards more static ones (within pyproject.toml).  This would allow folks using tools like “uv” to have dependency management work right out of the box.  
+  * I believe this is possible using some of the tools within Adabot, and I’m happy to do this.  
+  * I don’t think any libraries actually require dynamic requirements, so the technical risk is very low.  
+* 28:00 If “gpiod” is not installed with Blinka while using generic Linux, it throws an ImportError that this was not done.  However, due to the try/except we use for type annotations, we catch and then silently pass this error if we ever have using digitalio.DigitalInOut within type annotations for a library.  This causes issues on SBCs that require type annotations to truly exist at runtime. \[See https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit\_CircuitPython\_BusDevice/pull/102\]  
+  * We could change the warning exception in Blinka away from ImportError, but it really IS an import error.  An alternative candidate could be OSError, since it relates to the pins.  
+  * We could go and patch the other libraries as well to make definitions/values exist at runtime.  This was the proposed solution for the instance where this issue was identified.
+
+## 38:05 Wrap-Up
+
+Next meeting is Monday, June 30, 2025, at the regular time of 2pm US ET / 11 am US PT. After that we’re planning to go to a bi-weekly schedule for July and August.

+
+## 20:40 Status Updates
+
+21:11 @dan (hosting)
+
+* Released 10.0.0-beta.0. This finishes converting to the larger partition scheme on 4MB Espressif boards.  
+* Helped test and debug latest NINA-FW with @FoamyGuy and @hathach.  
+* All ssl-capable boards now use the full Mozilla root certificate list. For boards with AirLift coprocessors, the same is now true for NINA-FW 3.1.0.  
+* Fixed several issues and working on more. Scott and I triaged the 10.0.0 issue list from about 25 down to about 8 issues and pushed non-critical issues forward to 10.x.x.
+
+24:01 @foamyguy
+
+* HSTX DVI CowBell guide  
+* Testing nina-fw fixes  
+* Trying out old magtag hardware with latest CP build  
+* Updating learn guide code to remove usage of deprecated portalbase stuff  
+* Some other fixes in portalbase library, and adding functionality to Fruit Jam library to support the same projects as pyportal with minimal changes.  
+* Starting to dig in a bit to try to understand PIO peripheral more. Successfully setup output to 8 LEDs, and a 14x2 segment module.
+
+26:57 @Liz
+
+* I added the quad color eInk display to the CircuitPython EPD library. This library is used with Blinka on the Raspberry Pi.  
+* I’m working on planning CircuitPython Day 2025\. It is on Friday, August 15th. There will be a few sessions, both live and pre-recorded. One of them is a discussion/q\&a with Scott and Dan. There is a google form where you can [submit questions for the q\&a portion](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSczgdHd2AXZJWKZ9S5xX4FzI4FmGRIeWiCSQ7HobYpTEhsYgQ/viewform?usp=header)  
+* For projects, I’m working on a magnetic rotary encoder with the AS5600 breakout. I was able to design and 3D print a print in place bearing for the build that I’m pretty excited about.
+
+28:24 @tannewt (out)
+
+* Working part time.  
+* Focusing on supporting new epaper displays. Adding quad color support to CP. Most other stuff is library only.  
+* Will do 10.x fixes too.
+
+## 28:47 In The Weeds
+
+@EGJ Moorington *(missing meeting)*
+
+* I’ve recently started working on a project I’d like to eventually make public, so in order to have a clean repo, I used [Adafruit’s circuitpython-cookiecutter template](https://github.com/adafruit/cookiecutter-adafruit-circuitpython) meant for library repositories.  
+* I was wondering what approaches other folks have to maintain repositories for their projects. A different cookiecutter template? Some custom workflows (I’m using the ones generated by the template)?  
+* @James Fowler gave me some tips on how to structure my code [on a very interesting thread on Discord](https://discord.com/channels/327254708534116352/1398228796317896795). Maybe some of the ideas could be used to make some reusable repos or cookiecutter templates?  
+* I’ve read [a Learning Guide that talks about a Project Bundler](https://learn.adafruit.com/contribute-to-the-adafruit-learning-system-with-git-and-github/project-bundler) used to generate Project Bundles for the Learning System’s guides. Since that code isn’t public, maybe a workflow that works in a similar way could be developed.
+
+Response from @foamyguy: There was a tool created by a community member as an attempt to solve this problem: [https://github.com/dhalbert/cookiecutter-playground-bundle](https://github.com/dhalbert/cookiecutter-playground-bundle) It was a created a while back, and we are unsure on it’s current state. Might need maintenance in order to get working. Give it a try and let us know on discord how it goes.

+13:35 @Liz (hosting)
+* I’ve been doing a lot of prep for CircuitPython Day. I think the sessions this year are really interesting.
+* I wrote a CircuitPython driver for the QMC5883 magnetometer along with a Learn Guide
+* I’m going to be on vacation the last two weeks of August so I’m trying to wrap things up this week in preparation for that.

+14:11 @david.glaude (text only)
+* Acquired cardputer v1.0 and v1.1 to test CP9 and CP10
+   * CP9 is OK but on V1.1 the RGB LED is not on until the screen is on => some boot blinking are missing
+   * CP10 bootloop with the screen flashing with or without content/garbage
+* Analyze the (leak about) cardputer ADV to see if CP will be possible on it
+   * Build in keyboard is not a matrix directly connected to GPIO but via I2C and TCA8418
+      * Could work, but without firmware support for the keyboard input
+      * TCA8418 is supported in CP, so Python reading of the keyboard would work 
+* Testing Send/Receive of ESPNOW with two cardputer and one Tembed
+   * WIP: Trying to do a ESPNOW chat between two cardputer (reading keyboard from stdin)
+      * Receiving ANSI code for backspace and arrow => require parsing for line editing
+
+
+15:22 @foamyguy
+* Finished up guide pages for the Fruit Jam product guide
+* Tested out gpt-oss:20b running locally on my desktop, and KittenTTS running on a Pi 5
+* Working on a weather forecast narrator that pulls forecast from NWS, narrates it into .wav files with KittenTTS. Then, when you press a button, it reads aloud the current date and forecast.
+* Game Jam stream on CircuitPython day
+
+
+17:42 @tannewt (out)
+* Recorded discussion with Dan and Liz for CircuitPython day.
+* Primarily doing epaper drivers.
+   * 5.83” mono and tricolor and 7.5” are all the same driver.
+   * 3.7” mono and tricolor are supported too.
+   * 4.2” screens are supported.
+   * 2.66” screens are WIP. Not cooperating even though they have an existing driver. 
+   * Will PR internal refactor before working on partial refresh support.
+* Got two P4 boards. They have v1.0 and v1.3 of the P4. So, I have the latest.
+# In The Weeds
+* No topics today
+
+# 18:35 Wrap-Up
+Next meeting is in two weeks on Monday, August 25th
