CircuitPython Weekly Meeting for September 8, 2026

Hello, everyone.

This is CircuitPython weekly meeting for Tuesday, September 8th, 2026.

It's time of the week where we get together to talk about all things CircuitPython.

I'm Liz.

I'm sponsored by Adafruit to work on CircuitPython.

CircuitPython is a version of Python designed to run on tiny computers called microcontrollers.

CircuitPython development is primarily sponsored by Adafruit.

So if you want to support Adafruit and CircuitPython, consider purchasing hardware from adafruit.com. Meeting is hosted on the Adafruit Discord server.

You can join anytime by going to adafruit.it slash discord.

We hold the meeting in the CircuitPython dev text channel and the CircuitPython voice channel.

This meeting typically happens on Mondays at 2 p.m. U.S. Eastern, 11 a.m. Pacific, except when it coincides with a U.S. holiday, like this week.

In the notes doc, there's a link to a calendar you can view online or add to your favorite calendar app.

We also send notifications about upcoming meetings via Discord.

If you would like to receive these notifications, ask us to add you to the CircuitPython Nisa's Discord role.

There is a shared notes document that accompanies the meeting and recording.

You can contribute to this document beforehand.

Final notes document includes timestamps to go along with the video so you can use the doc, skip around, and view the parts of the video that interest you most.

Meeting tends to run 30 to 60 minutes.

After each meeting, we post a link for next meeting's notes document in CircuitPython dev channel on the Adafruit Discord.

Check the pinned messages to find the latest notes doc so you can add notes for the following meeting.

If you wish to participate but cannot attend, you can leave hug reports and status updates in the document for us to read during the meeting.

The meeting is held in five parts.

First part is community news.

Second part is State of CircuitPython libraries and Blinka.

Third part is hug reports.

Fourth part is status updates.

And fifth part is in the weeds.

And that covers how the meeting will go.

And with that, we will get started with community news.
