Thanks everyone for #CircuitPython2024! It was great to hear from you all. Here is the full list:
- Tyeth on discord posted “Thank you so much for doing the parallel display for the lilygo T-DisplayS3 + touch variant, going to have fun with this (was my 2024 wish/plan) ” and “I would love to be able to use long range wifi on the esp, it gets about 500m… no LoRa license fees or extra hardware required (but benefits from external aerial of course)…”.
- todbot on discord posted “I want dynamically loaded native modules! It’s would be so easy (narrator: it would not be easy) But it would help deal with the fact we’re running out of flash on some boards”
- dglaude posted to Adafruit Playground 9 separate ideas for CircuitPython in 2024.
- somenice on discord posted a request to remove the Mac OS “Disk Not Ejected Properly” warning.
- sl0 posted on the forum hoping to easily test their CircuitPython code.
- Dexter emailed “This year I’m interested in plan9 style synthetic filesystems and ferrorelectric RAM on CircuitPython.”
- Sanka wrote a blog post about driving the TM1637 LED driver chip from CircuitPython on a Circuit Playground Express.
- JohnHind posted on the forum about IP over USB support.
- jepler (aka stylus on Mastodon) posted to Mastodon to talk about going further with what we’ve already added and raises the question about sunsetting support on boards with limited flash space.
- Mark Komus also posted to Mastodon about supplementing Adafruit-funded work with community requests and continuing to hang out in the CircuitPython community.
- Liz (aka BlitzCityDIY) wrote a gist on GitHub about their increasing involvement in CircuitPython including writing libraries and also on documenting all of the cool things we can do with CircuitPython.
- Anne (aka @anne_engineer on X) wrote on X about their updated wishlist for CircuitPython. Anne’s wish list centers around interoperability with old IBM PCs including running CircuitPython on them!
- wavesailor posted to the forum about wanting a reference card for migrating between MicroPython and CircuitPython.
- Scott posted about the importance of new workflows on the Adafruit blog.
- incrediblelittlebee posted to the forums about the MotorKit library.
- DJDevon3 emailed in thoughts about displays and the ESP32-S3.
- #CircuitPython2024 kick-off post

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
