The top feature project on Autodesk Instructables today is by my Physical Computing students Noah Priest & Vinith Ayapilla! An accessible driving game they created for children with disabilities in the Campus School at Boston College. Built in #CircuitPython. Students present their accessible tech work today. Congrats Nick & Vin!

In our last class of the semester, Physical Computing students built WiFi-connected robot cars controlled via a web app with commands relayed through MQTT. Cars use $8 RaspberryPi Pico 2W microcontrollers running #CircuitPython. Want to see more coolness? Drop by 245 Beacon St on 4/25 1-3pm in the Protyoing Studio Room 301. The Hatchery Makerspaces at Boston College will be opened up showcasing #SwiftUI iOS apps and maker projects by our students.

Fun lesson - Build a @raspberrypi.com pico DJ board while learning to use the @adafruit.com $8 Adalogger Cowbell to expand file storage to 32GB, & add a STEMMA-QT port with no wiring! My students built this in the MakerSpace last class & it was a blast! https://youtu.be/yZdR7oGbTX8?si=HQveNpNpnvKJrTJK #CircuitPython #CSEd

#MakerSpace, #makered, STEMed and #csed folks, here's a super-fun challenge lesson I use in class: Build a Baby Groot who talks when his plant is touched. Uses #Adafruit #CircuitPython a Circuit Playground, a 3D printed planter, laser-cut box, but lots of options abound. https://youtu.be/gEmyZ7ZWMIo

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@prcutler/116041675974405409
Enjoyed talking with @prcutler on this ep! Learn how I planned to get the drop on Happy Meal toys, the Isle of Misfit Boards, rising to the top of the charts with a four chord song, what would happen if Freud played Shadowrun, and the Macropad Hotkeys II.

Some of my @bostoncollege.bsky.social Physical Computing students delivering their #CircuitPython based assistive tech projects to their clients in the BC Campus School. I’m so lucky to work with such wonderful young people. https://www.instagram.com/p/DTljI53jW9h/?img_index=9&igsh=MWFkZ21xdDB2c215Yg== #csed #assistivetech

For #CircuitPython2026, I've distilled my 2025 #CircuitPython wish list (https://fosstodon.org/@anecdata/113773025044962141) to one item:
• asyncio support for sockets
(it can be done for TCP currently, though I don't think it's CPython-compatible, I'm not sure it's complete, and it hardfaults https://gist.github.com/anecdata/89b4458fd7c0c01c7fc0a9ff4be5b4e6)

@backstube @adafruit We haven't added something like interrupts. The reality is that the Python VM isn't real time and I don't want to give that illusion. What do you need it for? I'm happy to hear more. I just launched #CircuitPython2026 where we're calling for posts about future CP developments. https://blog.adafruit.com/2026/01/02/circuitpython2026-kickoff/

If you haven't seen Meghan & Michelle's #CircuitPython & #PixelBlaze jukebox, it's worth a look. They did a great job using @Adafruit, @RaspberryPi and ElectroMage PixelBlaze boards from @Wizard. I feel so lucky to get to teach and work with these students. And to see them derive such joy from showing off their work is a huge boost in otherwise challenging times https://bsky.app/profile/gallaugher.bsky.social/post/3ma2g6u2huc25

Here's a look at Week 11 of #CircuitPython #PhysicalComputing class. Students made rubber band launchers with a #RaspberryPi Pico, joystick, 3 servos, and a button. Big fun! https://youtube.com/shorts/envNY1mYCEQ
