Someone asked how play multiple simultaneous CD-quality WAVs from an SD card to I2S DAC on ESP32 in CircuitPython. Turns out: possible! Can get a bit glitchy if doing USB stuff tho www.youtube.com/watch?v=97OA... code: github.com/todbot/circu...

#CircuitPython 10.0.0-alpha.8 released! blog.adafruit.com/2025/07/08/c... - Increase the firmware partition size for 4MB ESP32-S3 boards to allow more features such as BLE. You must update the TinyUF2 bootloader. See the release notes for details. - Merge updates from MicroPython v1.25.0. +more

I don't talk about it much, but this is one of the main reasons I'm still wearing masks and building things to make them cuter & more comfortable. <3 Brain function is incredibly precious to me (having had great-grandparents with Alzheimer's), and this type of damage has been consistently proven.

The AIO-connected #CircuitPython workshop thermal camera guide is is now available in Adafruit Playground. It was a fun project with a few challenges, notably coming up with a method to minimize the bitmap image upload size. #AdafruitIO adafruit-playground.com/u/CGrover/pa...

Listen to a new episode this Monday as @todbot.com shares an epic rant about STM32 dev tooling.

Hardware Happy Hour Portland (Teardown 2025 edition) is this Thursday, June 19th, 06:30 PM - 11:00 PM, at McMenamins on Broadway with @crowdsupply.bsky.social and @helenleigh.bsky.social www.crowdsupply.com/events/2025/... #portland #pdx #hardware #hardwarehacking #teardown2025

Image from workshop thermal cam displayed on @adafruit IO. The 8x8 elements were interpolated to 15x15. AMG8833 sensor attached to ESP32-S3 Feather. Guide with #CircuitPython code coming soon. Detects motion and localized temp extremes (soldering iron on, window open). I'm waving to the camera.

For the last month I've been seeing how far I can get CircuitPython into emulating a TB-303 bass synth. With the audiofilters library, you can stack filters to make a 4-pole filter, for that squelchy sound we need www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Afl... #circuitpython #tb303 #synthdiy #raspberrypipico

#CircuitPython 9.2.8 released! blog.adafruit.com/2025/05/28/c... Highlights of this release: - Fix deque bug. - Fix I2S audio file read causing memory corruption. - Support “Spectra6” six-color e-ink displays. - Fix audiodelays.Delay when freq_shift=True. - Board fixes.
