13:11 @brennen

  • A group hug to the whole community for all your hard work and welcoming attitudes while I’ve been involved with the project. I'm taking a new full-time gig at the Wikimedia Foundation, so I won't be around much for a while, but I wanted to say it's been a pleasure working with you all and I look forward to seeing what's in store for CircuitPython going forward.

13:52 @charlesburnaford

  • Tannewt for pulling me in to get a copy of USB MIDI, working so far!

15:02 @danh

  • @tannewt and @ladyada for BLE API and priority discussions

15:36 @kattni

  • @brennen - Thank you for all your help with the PyPI project! I had an absolute blast working with you. I’m going to miss you! I wish you all the best at Wikimedia!
  • @Maker Melissa for an epic new library! This is her first! Thank you for all the hard work and great job working through your first Travis experience!
  • @tannewt for the massive CircuitPython 2019 aggregate post!
  • @Roy for 3D printing me a bunch of stands for things, some miscellaneous, and an amazing name plate with Blinka on it, and a purple baby elephant! It was a box full of surprises!

16:43 @ladyada

  • hugz to kattni who has been pickin' up a lot of guide and github stuff!
  • hugz to dan for getting bleio uart working
  • hugz to scott for displayio - its amazing

18:49 @Maker Melissa -

  • Hug report to Kattni for helping with my travis experience and getting through a few iterations of that, getting it to pass
  • Siddacious for help with bitmap library

@mr certainly - lurking

17:53 @ShawnHymal -

11:01 @tannewt

12:43 @tg-techie

  • Hug to the community - had a pretty passive week and it’s wonderful to use CP, thank you to everyone.

19:26 Status Updates

26:24 @brennen

  • Looking into a couple of user-reported dependency issues with Blinka, wrapping up some documentation.
  • As mentioned above, I won’t be doing much CircuitPython-related work for a while, but I’m hoping to keep track of things as an end-user and may pitch in here and there when I’ve got the bandwidth.

@cater - lurking

27:11 @charlesburnaford

  • Working on set of functions to provide different types of MIDI messages, simple module, convert it to a CP compatible library
  • Need some kind of model to use to insert code from functions to make into class

  • Last week-ish:
    • Finished up bulk of Prop-Maker FeatherWing guide.
    • Added CIRCUITPY Drive page to Welcome guide
    • Added “Difference between CIRCUITPY and boardnameBOOT” section to “Installing CircuitPython” page in Welcome guide
    • Deprecated series of guides along with a repo
    • Updated PCA9685 breakout page to use ServoKit
    • Updated guide for RPi and PCA9685 breakout to use ServoKit
    • Tested cookiecutter update, found issues, fixed issues.
    • Started on Radio Bonnet guide
    • Made my first fritzing object!
    • Library Monday!
  • This week:
    • Finish Radio Bonnet guide.
    • Write guide with CIrcuitPython BLE demos.
    • PN532 guide update for RPi usage
    • Run another test with the cookiecutter update - hoping to wrap this up soon. It will be making cookiecutter a little more involved, but removes a lot of later work.

34:58 @Maker Melissa

  • Last week, worked on RA8875 library for display, and got that up, waiting on PR approval.
  • Next week want to look at some other libraries and do work on those and another thing I wanted to start looking at doing is creating a GUI that works on multiple displays that is not hardware dependent.

@mr certainly - lurking

36:24 @sommersoft

  • Last Week:
    • cookiecutter:
      • Made some minor tweaks based on @Kattni's testing
    • FrequencyIn:
      • Working for the most part. Currently, calculating frequency at a rate of 1ms; reference TC is firing at about 800us relative to current_tick(). Finally figured out the math to account for the ~1.6ms measurement time. But...the TC that is counting events is having "issues" with resetting the count at this rate. I'm either going to revert back to subtracting last value/not resetting count to zero, or widen the measurement time.
  • This Week:
    • FrequencyIn
    • Any more cookiecutter tweaks that pop up

20:02 @tannewt

  • Displayio rework checked in. Should be able to use displays on samd51 and nRF52840. Please test. Help on making libs for each display with init sequences would be welcome.
  • 8 bit parallel display busses are now supported too.
  • Drafted aggregate CircuitPython 2019 post.
  • Getting caught up on email after going heads down on displayio.
  • Will go heads down later this week to speed up rendering. After move onto built in text support and bitmap grid with goal of showing error messages on screen.

24:06 @tg-techie

  • Also been doing display stuff, in CircuitPython. I’ve been working in parallel. This week, making a system where instead of just placing an object on the display, understands that there’s depth, can move an object forward by layer. Have support for pointer so you can click a button. Overhaul how things are currently done. Love to take a look at Scott’s code or use/integrate it.
  • Can take a shot at porting displayio to RPi (Python)
  • Met the maker of ChipQuik this week!
