The Real Python PodcastBuilding With CircuitPython & Constraints of Python for MicrocontrollersCan you make a version of Python that fits within the memory constraints of a microcontroller and have it still feel like Python? That is the intention behind CircuitPython. This week on the show, we have Scott Shawcroft, who is the project lead for CircuitPython.
We talk about all things CircuitPython. While working with the language on several projects I have developed many of my own questions to ask Scott. Scott answers my questions about boot loaders, packages, the bundle, and bluetooth low energy (BLE).
He also talks about the struggle of fitting the language...2021-08-271h 24
The Simple Electronics Podcast014 - Scott ShawcroftIn 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!

Hanselminutes with Scott HanselmanLearning CircuitPython with Scott ShawcroftCircuitPython 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...2019-09-1234 min
Test & Code84: CircuitPython - Scott ShawcroftAdafruit 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...2019-08-2035 min
EmbeddedIn the Key of LimeThis week we talk about CircuitPython (@CircuitPython) with @adafruit’s Kattni Rembor (@kattni) and Scott Shawcroft (@tannewt). The suggested first board is CircuitPlayground Express with LEDs, sensors, and buttons. CircuitPython is also available for many other boards including the BLE Feather (NRF52832). For a basic introduction take a look at What is CircuitPython and see some example scripts. To dig a little deeper, check out the many resources in Awesome CircuitPython. The whole thing is open source so you can see their code. If you are thinking about contributing (or just want some fun chats), get...2019-07-191h 11
Circuit Break - A MacroFab PodcastEP#22: Quirky Quadcopters with Scott ShawcroftPodcast NotesScott Shawcroft of Chickadee Tech is our guest on this weeks podcast. He is working on a modular flight control system called polystack. It has 13 different boards that can be stacked together. Similar to shields for the Arduino platform. See Figure 1.Scott is down here in Houston visiting MacroFab to see his production run being built and working on his test fixture worked correctly. See figure 2.Seattle Multi Rotors is the group Scott is a part of.The software stack is based of off Beta Flight which is a fork of Clean Flight which is a f...2016-06-3054 min
