circuitpython VS ArduPy

circuitpython

• Thoughts on a machine?
  1 project | /r/Fencing | 9 Dec 2023

  As another point for those interested, it (to my knowledge) is currently the ONLY implementation of a scoring machine that the firmware for the device is written in Circuit Python. which gives this unit an advantage when it comes to any and all multi tasking that the unit may need to do.

• Unveiling secrets of the ESP32: creating an open-source Mac layer
  5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Dec 2023

  The barrier to entry has never been lower. Last night I prototyped some code in Python on my Mac to talk to a Bluetooth peripheral, and then had ChatGPT translate it to Arduino C++ code for a $5 ESP32 which mostly worked on the first go.

  You can even run Python on microcontrollers these days. See Adafruit's https://circuitpython.org for which they publish modules for many (almost all?) of the sensors they sell. The modern microcontroller frameworks hide much of the complexity of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, filesystems, etc. so you can do complicated things with minimal effort. You can really cobble something together in an afternoon.

• ALT.CTRL.GameCraft Workshop @ Beta Festival Write-up
  3 projects | dev.to | 7 Nov 2023

  The Pico runs CircuitPython and uses Adafruit's HID library to emulate a keyboard. It's also possible to emulate a mouse and a gamepad (there are some experiments for gamepad emulation in experiments).

• CircuitPython added supports for Makerdiary nRF52840 Connect Kit

• HT1632c library for circuitpython
  2 projects | /r/circuitpython | 21 Jun 2023

  Asked your question in the adafruit discord and they said there's no HT1632c library for circuit python yet. There is a library for micropython. You can request to have it ported from the Micropython library I linked to by opening a feature request in the Circuit Python Github. That would be your best option for now or attempt to port the library yourself.

• Question about programming arduino

• This may be an odd question but can someone give me a Tl;dr of the Adafruit ecosystem between 2019-now?
  1 project | /r/adafruit | 13 May 2023

  Microcontrollers can run Python now https://circuitpython.org/

• Projects for newbs!
  2 projects | /r/arduino | 21 Apr 2023

  I'm aware of two versions of Python for microcontrollers. Micro Python and Circuit Python

• Pause and resume more than one audiofile with audiocore
  1 project | /r/circuitpython | 13 Mar 2023

  I tried to look in https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/tree/main/shared-bindings at audiocore, audioio, an audiomixer looking for a way to access the sample counter manually but I have no clue what I'm looking at :(

• Pico W only connects to Wi-Fi once, then needs uf2 nuke
  1 project | /r/raspberrypipico | 24 Feb 2023

  Try CircuitPython 8.0.3. The commit log has a couple networking changes for the Pico. My MQTT client seems to have fewer connection issues though they could be a fluke https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/compare/8.0.2...8.0.3

ArduPy
