Talking to the Pico over USB
The keypad itself can mimic any keypresses on a regular keyboard if the Pico is installed with CircuitPython, so the Pico-to-Mac communication is already set up. For the Mac to communicate with the Pico, I managed to piece the instructions together from various sources. That’s the bit I’ll be bringing together into this article.

Thoughts on a machine?
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
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
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).

HT1632c library for circuitpython
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.

This may be an odd question but can someone give me a Tl;dr of the Adafruit ecosystem between 2019-now?

Pause and resume more than one audiofile with audiocore
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 :(
