I’m sponsored by Adafruit to work on CircuitPython. Support them, and by extension me, by purchasing hardware from adafruit.com Chat with me and lot of others on the Adafruit Discord at adafru.it/discord.
Deep Dive happens every week. Normally Fridays at 2pm Pacific but occasionally shifted to Thursday at 2pm. Typically goes for two hours or more. Questions are welcome. Next week will be on Friday as well!
0:00 Getting going
04:05 Housekeeping
12:10 is circuitpython as powerful as c++ ?
17:01 Is Adriano something totally different from python?
18:20 Is CircuitPython designed for real-time computing?
21:02 Can you doing threading or multitasking with circuitpython?
23:57 What program do I want for my raspberry pi game boy for button inputs?
26:16 Why can't we create a language that's easy to use like python, as fast as C or C++, & is efficiently garbage-collected and memory-managed to be able to do real-time work? Hypothetical question.
33:08 More in depth question (feel free to skip it) what is a QSTR? I've got a vague idea and see them everyone in the core code but haven't had a chance to dive into them yet
38:49 USB switch PCB for PPK2
40:35 Look back on annual thoughts.
45:33 Welcome to CircuitPython Beta (2017)
57:03 I forget if you had already answered this in past streams. But how does CP versioning work? At what point does work on 6.x just become 7.0?
1:01:53 When, if at all, do CircuitPython changes go into MicroPython? And the same for MicroPython changes being merged into CircuitPython?
1:07:30 Would you/Adafruit ever consider making CircuitPython an organization on github rather than an Adafruit subproject? Might make it psychologically easier for other orgs to contribute to CircuitPy
1:09:55 ​Having cpy as a fork of mpy means it’s awkward forking/checking out each repo and contributing to both
1:15:22 CircuitPython 2018
1:19:40 Scott, could you please elaborate a bit on how someone might best contribute to the documentation?
1:26:11 Wrap up 2018
