Watch the live stream: Watch on YouTube About the show Sponsored by Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub. Special guest: Anne Barela Brian #1: The Adam Test : 12 Questions for New Dependencies Found through a discussion with Ryan Cheley, who will be on an upcoming episode of Test & Code, talking about Managing Software Teams. The Joel Test dates back to 2000, and some of it is a bit dated. I should probably do a Test & Code episode or pythontest article on my opinions of this at some point. Nice shameless plugs, don't you think? The Joel Test is 12 questions and is a “highly irresponsible, sloppy test to rate the quality of a software team.” “The Adam Test” is 12 questions “to decide whether a new package we're considering depending on is well-maintained.” He's calling it “The Well-Maintained Test”, but I like “The Adam Test” Here's the test: Is it described as “production ready”? Is there sufficient documentation? Is there a changelog? Is someone responding to bug reports? Are there sufficient tests? Are the tests running with the latest language version? like Python 3.10, of course Are the tests running with the latest integration version? Examples include Django, PostgreSQL, etc. Is there a Continuous Integration (CI) configuration? Is the CI passing? Does it seem relatively well used? Has there been a commit in the last year? Has there been a release in the last year? Article has a short discussion of each. What score is good? That's up to you to decide. But these questions are good to think about for your dependencies. I also think I'll use these questions for my own projects. I've got a README.md, but do I need more examples in it? Should I have RTD docs for it? Have I updated the test matrix to include the newest versions of Python, etc? Have I hooked up CI? Michael #2: Validate emails with email-validator When you think about validating emails, you probably think regex (or just nothing) Regex is fine but so is this email: jane_doe@domain_that_doesnt_exist.com Problem is (at the time of the recording), domain_that_doesnt_exist.com is not a website. What about unicode variations that are technically the same but visually different? If the passed email address is valid, the validate_email() method will return an object containing a normalized form of the passed email address. Anne #3: The Python on Microcontrollers Newsletter One of my main focuses at Adafruit since the pandemic started is as editor of the Python on Microcontrollers Newsletter. With a weekly distribution of almost 9,400 subscribers, it's the largest newsletter of it's kind. It mainly focuses on CircuitPython and MicroPython and also discusses Python on single board computers (SBC) like Raspberry Pi. News about Python with a small computer emphasis Folks may subscribe by going to https://www.adafruitdaily.com/ which is separate from adafruit.com. The information is not sold or used for marketing and it's easy to unsubscribe (no “do you really want to do this, please reconsider…) The challenge, like for Python Bytes and other publications, is to find content. I scour the internet, with a bit of a focus on Twitter as I have an active account there. We encourage others to put in issues and Pull Requests on the newsletter GitHub, email information to cpnews@adafruit.com and using hashtag CircuitPython or MicroPython on Twitter. Brian #4: Git Organized: A Better Git Flow Annie Sexton Found through Changelog episode 480: Get your reset on A possible and common git workflow Branch off of a main branch to a personal dev branch Commit and Push during development to save your work When ready to merge, make a PR Problems Commits are hard to follow and messy, not ever really intended to separate parts of the workflow or anything. Commits are therefore useless in helping someone code review large changes. Annie's workflow Branch off of a main branch to a personal dev branch Commit and Push during development to save your work. But don't worry to much about commit messages, “WIP” is sufficient. Or a note to yourself. When ready to merge git reset origin/main Re-commit all changes in a logical order that makes more sense than the way the work actually happened. These will be several commits, with descriptive messages. Even partial commits, if there are unrelated changes in a file, work with this process Push all the new commits. (Is --force going to be necessary?) Create a PR. Now there are a set of commits that are actually helpful to break up large PRs into small chunks that tell a story. I'm looking to try this soon to see how it goes Michael #5: CPython issues moving to GitHub soon Update by The Python Developer in Residence, Łukasz Langa The Steering Council is working on migrating the data that is currently residing in Roundup at https://bugs.python.org/ (BPO) into the GitHub issues of the CPython repository hosted there. Laid out in PEP 581 -- Using GitHub Issues for CPython The ultimate goal is to move user- and core developer-provided issue-reporting entirely to Github. Each issue that currently exists on BPO will include metadata indicating where it was moved on Github. New issues will only exist on Github. Feedback, please: At the current stage, we're asking you to take a look at the links and important dates below, and share any feedback you might have. Timeline: Friday, March 11th 2022: Github starts transfer of the issues in the temporary repository to github.com/python/cpython/ . The migration is estimated to take anywhere from 3 to 7 days, depending on the load on Github.com. Anne #6: MicroPython, CircuitPython and GitHub What are Microcontrollers and Single Board Computers (SBCs)? Why not use CPython on Microcontrollers? MicroPython was originally created by the Australian programmer and theoretical physicist Damien George, after a successful Kickstarter backed campaign in 2013. Originally it only ran on a number of boards and was based on Python 3.4. CircuitPython was forked from MicroPython in 2017 by Adafruit Industries. Both MicroPython and CircuitPython are Open Source under MIT Licenses so adoption and modification by anyone is easy. Why fork CircuitPython? 1) Make a requirement that CircuitPython boards can enumerate to computers as a USB thumb drive to add or change code files with any text editor. 2) Aim to make CircuitPython use CPython library syntax whenever possible. 3) Make it easy to use and understand for beginners yet powerful for more advanced users. All CircuitPython code is on GitHub. GitHub Actions is used on repos like the Adafruit Learning System code to automate CI with Pylint, Black, and ensuring code has proper SPDX author and license tags, which is a new addition this year. Currently there are 283 microcontroller boards compatible with CircuitPython and 87 single board computers can use CircuitPython libraries in CPython via the Adafruit Blinka abstraction layer. Code portability between boards requires little if any changes. There are 346 CircuitPython libraries (all on PyPI / pip as well as GitHub) covering a wide range of hardware and real world needs. From blinking LEDs to using ulab (microlab), a subset of numpy, for data crunching. I just counted and there are exactly 1,000 Adafruit Learning System guides referencing CircuitPython, all free and open source/MIT licensed. https://learn.adafruit.com/ Extras Brian: Quick read: The Thirty Minute Rule, by Daniel Roy Greenfield summary: Stuck on a software problem for 30 min? Ask for help. Michael: The CircuitPython Show by Paul Cutler Follow up from my Python 3 == Active Python 3? James wrote: In episode #273, you guys were discussing supporting "Python 3" to mean any currently supported version of Python rather than "Python 3.7+" or similar. That's a really bad idea. There are still tons of people using unsupported versions of Python, and they're not all invalid use cases. For example, I am one of the upstream maintainers for cloud-init, and I was only recently able to remove Python 3.5 in order to make 3.6 our minimum supported version (which will continue for the next year). The reason is that our main consumers are downstream distro packagers (ubuntu, red hat, fedora, etc), and it's not uncommon for software released into long-term supported OS releases to be supported for 5-10 years or more. If I fire up an Ubuntu Trusty container, which still receives extended support until 2024, I get Python 3.4. So even though 3.4 is unsupported by Python upstream, it is still absolutely in use and supported by OS manufacturers. Joke: A case of the Mondays

In this episode of the Hello Blink Show, Harris and Shawn interview firmware developer, hardware designer, technical writer, and community leader, Kattni Rembor. Kattni shares her insights into how she engages followers and educates her peers. Listeners will hear her advice as she delves into her experience with Adafruit and the process involved with fostering a community on learning CircuitPython. Listen after the closing credits for an update on CircuitPython and how people have been integrating it into finished produts! One Powerful Quotation: *36:00: “I think it’s a huge part of growing a community is being open to changes and open to possibilities because, if you are rigid about things and you expect everything to fall within a certain scope, you’re either going to drive people away or you’re going to have a really bad day.” Key Topics: * 1:03: Shawn opens the show and asks Kattni about her story with working at Adafruit Industries. She mentions how she became involved writing libraries which led to creating communities for teaching and learning. 6:00: Kattni shares how she started with no programming/electronics experience and has become a self-taught engineer, developer, and community leader. 7:17: Kattni highlights her inspiration for wanting to work with electronics. 10:43: Kattni responds to Harris’ commentary on the tangible results produced from one’s work. 11:22: Shawn and Kattni discuss using Circuit Python versus Arduino. The two compare its programming application for educating users. 17:18: Harris relays a question to Kattni from a listener on her thoughts on the balance between using Circuit Python for education over finished products and how this will change over time. 20:45: Harris asks another a question to Kattni from a listener on adding support for RISC-V as a prioritized, developer tool for educational consideration on Circuit Python. 22:14: Shawn and Kattni discuss how Circuit Python supports specific development boards. 23:29: Kattni gives her perspective on what it means to have a developer community for Circuit Python. 26:02: Kattni talks about the forums she uses for collaboration including Discord and GitHub. 27:27: Kattni describes the free form structure of their forums with admins, moderators, and helpers that reinforce positive feedback and build better relationships. 29:43: Kattni notes that these positions consist of Adafruit employees and members that are active in the public channels. 31:26: Shawn and Kattni reminisce about old bulletin board forums and how moderation teams were made up of volunteer members based on their posts. Kattni adds the one difference with their community help is the quality of the member’s contribution dictates their position. 33:10: Harris, Shawn, and Kattni openly talk about planning a community and go about creating an environment that is open, safe, and non-toxic. 45:11: Kattni answers Shawn’s question on when to restructure your channel setup and curate a community that is adaptable to your audience. 46:47: Harris and Shawn wrap up the show and ask Kattni how they advertise and recruit members. 50:19 (Post-Show): Harris, Shawn, and Kattni address the commercialization of products using Circuit Python.

https://hackaday.io/messages/room/2369 After being announced in September of 2019, the ESP32-S2 is finally making it into hobbyist's hands. On the face of it, the S2 seems less capable than the ESP32, with a single core and no Bluetooth or Ethernet. But the S2 more than makes up for that with a much faster CPU, scads more GPIO, more ADCs, a RISC-V co-processor, native USB, and the promise of very low current draw. It could be that the ESP32-S2 proves to be even more popular as it becomes established. To talk us through the new chip's potential, Limor "Ladyada" Fried and Scott Shawcroft, both of Adafruit Industries, will join us on the Hack Chat. Come along and learn everything you need to know about the ESP32-S2, and how to put it to work for you. Join the Hack Chat and return this Wednesday at 12:00PM PDT with your questions! Have an interesting project you're working on? Have something you'd like to discuss? Why not host a Hack Chat? Just stop by our easy sign-up form and tell us what you want to discuss!

Join Scott today as he streams at 2pm Pacific. The plan is to recap ESP32-S2 work Scott did this week and then start laying out pin definitions for the ESP32-S2.

Multistreaming with https://restream.io/ “Ladyada” Fried and pt will host the Hack Chat on Wednesday, September 11, 2019 at noon PDT / 3PM EDT – Hackaday. Click here to join – hackaday.io https://hackaday.io/messages/room/2369 We’ve gotten to the point where a $35 Raspberry Pi can be a reasonable alternative to a traditional desktop or laptop, and microcontrollers in the Arduino ecosystem are getting powerful enough to handle some remarkably demanding computational jobs. But there’s still one area where microcontrollers seem to be lagging a bit: machine learning. Sure, there are purpose-built edge-computing SBCs, but wouldn’t it be great to be able to run AI models on versatile and ubiquitous MCUs that you can pick up for a couple of bucks? We’re moving in that direction, and our friends at Adafruit Industries want to stop by the Hack Chat and tell us all about what they’re working on. In addition to Ladyada and PT, we’ll be joined by Meghna Natraj, Daniel Situnayake, and Pete Warden, all from the Google TensorFlow team. If you’ve got any interest in edge computing on small form-factor computers, you won’t want to miss this chat. Join us, ask your questions about TensorFlow Lite and TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers, and see what’s possible in machine learning way out on the edge. ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------

Limor Fried, then a student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, began selling electronic kits on her website from her own designs in 2005. She later moved to New York City to found Adafruit Industries. In 2010, Adafruit offered a US$1,000 (equivalent to $1,149 in 2018) reward for whoever could hack Microsoft’s Kinect to make its motion sensing capabilities available for use for other projects. This reward was increased to $2000 and then $3000 following Microsoft’s concerns about tampering. In 2013, the company had $22 million in revenue; for 2014 increased to $33 million.

If you are learning about Arduino, you have no doubt come across the term Arduino Shield.  This tutorial will explain what Arduino Shields are, why they are awesome, and several things to consider when buying shields. cool electronics ideas that you have. Now the Arduino in and of itself is pretty amazing - you can do a lot of stuff with an Arduino alone. But when you want to start adding all types of cool technologies like bluetooth, wifi, RF, motor-drivers, etc. it can be pretty tricky; especially if you are new to electronics and programming. Arduino shields take all the complexity of the hardware and reduce it to a simple interface.  This allows you to get your idea up and running fast. Now it's not just the hardware that shields take care of, in many cases, Arduino shields also have programming libraries associated with them.  These libraries allow you to easily implement the hardware features available on the shield. There are shields for all types of things - LCD shields, LED matrix shields, wifi and bluetooth shields, motor shields, power supply shields, geiger counter shields, there are even shields for cooking hot dogs.  Chances are if you need to do something, a shield exists to get you up and running quick. Shields plug right into the top of an Arduino.  The black plastic rows of holes along the sides of an Arduino are called headers, and on the bottom of a shield, you have these long spiky pieces of metal, these are called pins.  The pins on a shield line up with the header rows on an Arduino and fit snuggly (more on this later). Buying an Arduino Shield?  Think about this stuff:   Does it have good documentation? Documentation is the fancy way of saying - “will they show me how to use this thing?” Basically, is there some type of tutorial or user manual or forum that talks about how to use the shield. This is one of the biggest factors for me when it comes to buying an Arduino shield.  For all the ease of use that a shield provides, if I don't know how to use it, it's about as a good as a rock. Lucky for us, people who use Arduino tend to be awesome and do a great job writing about how to use stuff, so even if the manufacturer doesn't have good instructions, if people actually use the shield, then you will find a wealth of information online.  But if you do a web search and it doesn't turn up much of anything useful, you might consider looking for another option. Two US companies that provide superb documentation of the shields they make and sell are Adafruit Industries and Sparkfun. Soldering may be required Many shields are sold as kits, that means they are not fully assembled - and will require you to do some soldering.  If you are buying from a reputable source, you should know this ahead of time, but it is worth double checking. Sometimes manufacturers will offer the shield as a kit or fully assembled - I often go for the fully assembled option just to save time.  If you have not soldered before, shields are usually a cinch to solder, so don't be intimidated - go get a cheap soldering iron and some solder and go for it! Probably the most important thing when soldering a shield is making sure that the pins on the bottom of the shield are straight up and down, if they aren't they won't line up to the Arduino headers and be a major pain to connect. Stackable or Not Stackable Arduino Shields If you plan on stacking an Arduino shield with other shields, you will want to make sure it is stackable.  If it doesn't have pin headers on the top of the shield, or they don't look aligned correctly (usually too narrowly spaced), than it is likely another shield cannot be stacked on top of it. You might also run into a problem if components on the shield stick up too high to allow shields above from getting a snug fit.  Manufactures of shields are getting more savvy to this issue, but you should always check. Not all Arduino shields have the same pinout Some older Arduino shields may not have all the pins to fill the header rows of an Arduino.  This is because older versions of Arduino didn't have as many pin header slots.  This usually isn't too much trouble, unless you needed to use those pins that are not connected on the shield. If you have an older version of Arduino, then a shield you buy might have more pins than your Arduino has headers for - usually they are still physically compatible - this should not be anything to sweat about. Matching Hardware and Software Versions On a final note, if you are having trouble with a shield working, it worth checking to see if you are using the most current library version for your version of shield. A great example is the near ubiquitous Adafruit motor shield.  There is a hardware version 1 and a hardware version 2.  There are two separate code libraries for these.  If you are trying to run your new version of the hardware on the old version of the library - then you will likely run into troubles.  It worth checking to see you have the correct library for the job. I hope you found this tutorial helpful, please be sure to check out our free Arduino Crash Course (signup below) if you want to accelerate your learning.
