In this week's episode, I have a chat with Adafruit's lead on Circuit Python and self-admitted hardware start-up abandoner Scott Shawcroft! Scott and I chat about Adafruit's quest to simplify and streamline the Circuit Python experience, especially for newcomers, his time working on the Google maps team, and why starting a hardware based company is much harder than it seems! Make sure to check him out on his GitHub and have a look at some Adafruit stuff and see if any of it meets your needs!  Find Scott here:  https://github.com/tannewt/  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjF7R1fz_OOXBHlu9msoXq2jQN4JpCk8A www.tannewt.org  https://twitter.com/tannewt  Find Adafruit here:  adafru.it/discord  https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython www.adafruit.com

014 - Scott Shawcroft

CircuitPython is a programming language designed to simplify experimenting and learning to code on low-cost microcontroller boards. The history of CircuitPython begins with MicroPython, a Python interpreter written from scratch for embedded systems by Damien George starting in 2013. Three years later, Adafruit hired Shawcroft to port MicroPython to the SAMD21 chip they use on many of their boards.  The Scott talks about how to lower the barrier to entry and how to enable beginners to be productive with CircuitPython.https://circuitpython.orghttps://www.adafruit.com/?q=circuitpythonhttps://twitter.com/tannewthttps://github.com/chickadee-tech/pygbhttps://circuitpython.org/board/gb_m4

Learning CircuitPython with Scott Shawcroft

Adafruit enables beginners to make amazing hardware/software projects. With CircuitPython, these projects can now use Python. The combination of Python's ease of use and Adafruit's super cool hardware and a focus on a successful beginner experience makes learning to write code that controls hardware super fun. In this episode, Scott Shawcroft, the project lead, talks about the past, present, and future of CircuitPython, and discusses the focus on the beginner. We also discuss contributing to the project, testing CircuitPython, and many of the cool projects and hardware boards that can use CircuitPython, and Blinka, a library to allow you to use  "CircuitPython APIs for non-CircuitPython versions of Python such as CPython on Linux and MicroPython," including Raspberry Pi.Special Guest: Scott Shawcroft.Sponsored By:Patreon Supporters: Help support the show with as little as $1 per month and be the first to know when new episodes come out.Links:CircuitPythonDownloads — All the products that run CircuitPythonLearning Guides with CircuitPythonLoading CircuitPython on Circuit Playground ExpressAdafruit Discord ServerScott Shawcroft (@tannewt) / TwitterAdafruit-Blinka
