JohnHOST
This newsletter's reach highlights how powerful community-driven education can be.
JohnHOST
with contributors worldwide sharing guides, project ideas, and news about the latest tools in CircuitPython, MicroPython, and beyond.
JohnHOST
The fact that so many people turn to these newsletters for their regular dose of updates really strengthens the community and ensures that programming stays open, accessible, and exciting for all skill levels.
JohnHOST
Security, of course, is never far from anyone's mind, and the Linux ecosystem continues to lead the way in rapid, transparent patching of vulnerabilities, with new kernel releases targeting stability and reliability.
LizHOST
And then there are a bunch of build failures that were fixed as well.
LizHOST
And then for projects, a robot operating system, ROS2 library from MicroPython.
LizHOST
Kevin McCallier is making Snake ROS, a pure Python ROS2 client from MicroPython.
LizHOST
Snake ROS lets a MicroPython board, a Pico2W, a PicoW in ESP32, publish and subscribe to real ROS2 topics.
LizHOST
No C toolchain, no custom firmware, no reflashing to add a message type.
LizHOST
And that's linked on GitHub and X. Kevin does really cool projects, so definitely check his work out if you haven't.
LizHOST
and then another project building a custom prusa print companion app with micropython use a tufty 2350 with the prusa 3d printer api to create prusa companion to monitor 3d prints while away from the desk with this app you can see the print progress monitor temperatures and see the state of a print directly from tufty 2350 that is with you or worn around your neck And then finally, another really cool project, MP3 player stuffed into a cassette using MicroPython, and
Mikey SklarPANELIST
that's over on Instructables.
Paul CutlerHOST
So after 10.0, we then saw 10.1 in February and 10.2 this past April.
Paul CutlerHOST
10.2 included the latest ESP IDF as well as the MicroPython 1.27 merge.
Paul CutlerHOST
So thanks to Dan for keeping up with Upstream.
Todd KurtHOST
Yeah, thank you to MicroPython, which made all this possible.
Todd KurtHOST
I like that CircuitPython is still merging in updates to MicroPython as time goes on.
Todd KurtHOST
I think that's pretty hard to do because CircuitPython has... deviated a bit so i so i think dan's been the one who's mostly responsible for the merges so thank you jeez that must be a really hard task so paul what's your first one for this for this uh show
Paul CutlerHOST
If there was another theme over the last year is that it was the year of the fruit jam.
Paul CutlerHOST
So after 10.0, we then saw 10.1 in February and 10.2 this past April.

10.2 included the latest ESP IDF as well as the MicroPython 1.27 merge.

Guy SwannHOST
CoinKite wanted the wallet to use its own high-security hardware, random number generator, TRNG.
Guy SwannHOST
To do this, they told the underlying software system, MicroPython, to turn off its built-in generator by setting a switch to zero.
Guy SwannHOST
A new security library, LibNGU, checked this switch using a command, if in-depth, that only asks, does the switch exist? It did not ask, is it turned on? Because the switch existed, even though it was set to zero or off, the library assumed the hardware was ready.
Guy SwannHOST
It proceeded to call a standard function, rng-get.
Den OdellGUEST
I think I actually probably mentioned it before on the show.
Den OdellGUEST
But when Simon Willison was talking about combining MicroPython with Wasm and running sandboxes in the browser.
Den OdellGUEST
I had
Christopher BaileyHOST
that on the show recently.
JohnHOST
This week, the debut of the Python for Microcontrollers newsletter reflects just how big Python's reach in hardware has become.
JohnHOST
The newsletter gathers insights, recent updates, and showcases on Python's application in embedded hardware, especially CircuitPython and MicroPython.
JohnHOST
It's quickly emerging as a go-to resource for both developers and enthusiasts who want to keep up with community news, project highlights and upcoming events.
JohnHOST
One reason Python keeps gaining ground in this area is its beginner-friendly nature and active community, making it a favorite for quick experimentation and prototyping.
JohnHOST
Now, let's step into the heart of the hardware hacking community, the Python for Microcontrollers newsletter, which is rapidly becoming a must-read for developers working hands-on with embedded Python.
JohnHOST
Whether you're tinkering with CircuitPython or MicroPython on microcontrollers, or even single-board computers, this newsletter offers a steady stream of insights.
JohnHOST
It carefully curates major updates, highlights community projects, and inspires new initiatives, really fostering an active culture of sharing and learning.
JohnHOST
In fact, it's thanks to communities like this that open-source hardware projects continue to thrive, and that developers feel empowered to experiment, collaborate, and solve real-world problems in hardware.
Dan HalbertHOST
So we'll start.
Dan HalbertHOST
First of all, MicroPython version 129.0 has been released.
Dan HalbertHOST
There's a more detailed description in the Python and Microcontrollers newsletter.
Dan HalbertHOST
You can also look at the release notes.
Dan HalbertHOST
There's a pointer to the archives in the notes document.
Dan HalbertHOST
It highlights the latest Python on hardware news.
Dan HalbertHOST
from around the web, including CircuitPython and Python and MicroPython developments.
Dan HalbertHOST
It's got all kinds of projects and everything.
Calvin Hendryx-ParkerHOST
So there's not necessarily support yet for those embedded processors.
Calvin Hendryx-ParkerHOST
You're still gonna wanna use, you know, MicroPython or CircuitPython for those kinds of applications.
Calvin Hendryx-ParkerHOST
But if you're using something like the Vision Five, um, board, there's a couple other boards out there on the market that are more like Raspberry Pis.
Calvin Hendryx-ParkerHOST
You'll now have support.
Michael KennedyHOST
As well.
Michael KennedyHOST
I, I'm as well.
Michael KennedyHOST
My experience working with effectively MicroPython, it's super cool and the language is Python, but there's a lot of stuff like, "You want this library? No, no, no, no, no." You don't get that library.
Calvin Hendryx-ParkerHOST
You don't.
