@cater (lurking)

@cgrover (lurking)

@charlesburnaford (lurking)

31:03 @danh

  • Last week
  • Tested BLE functions - worked with @danh to chase down some issues
  • The BluefruitConnect Library is a great help!
  • In response to Discord question found/fixed an issue with ESP_ATControl for ESP8266 Ping.
  • Tested ESPATControl with feather nrf52840 and ESP32 -- works well!
  • Tested rfm9x bonnet on RPi - works great
  • This week
  • keep exploring bleio functions.
  • set up some radio (rfm69 and 9x) projects

16:45 @kattni

  • Last week:
  • cookiecutter is updated! Please take a look at the guide for updated information on running cookiecutter - it has gotten more involved but it makes less work for everyone later!
  • Updated the PN532 guide for CircuitPython/Python usage
  • Prop-Maker FeatherWing guide is completed and published
  • Radio bonnet guide is completed and published
  • Helped Maker Melissa get her library released and into the bundle (Great job with that!)

  • Very slow right now.
  • Thank you to everyone for CP2019 posts. Will be posting aggregate post today.
