And CircuitPython is used in such very interesting, amazingly beneficial ways that change the world for the better.
So the work the community does to CircuitPython -- from the lead devs to a community member submitting a single bug report...it makes a sincere difference, making the world a better place.
And isn't that the ultimate goal for any software developer? To write code that makes a difference? I'd hope so.

First off I love what ya'll are doing here! I have an interesting project idea and I'm not sure if it is feasible. My significant other is passionate about plants. I however am not. She is a night shift nurse and as such can't remember to water her plants on a regular basis.
IDEA: Feather M4 stacked with wifi wing and Eink display. Once every 30 mins or so it would measure temp and moisture of the soil with the capacitive sensor. Update the display and post a message to a time based DB or MQTT for display on a locally hosted grafana. In addition if it senses values out of tolerance maybe even send and SMS.
I have not used any feather products before but i am fairly good at python.

Hi @inner spade
lavish patrol
2020 John Park sets fire to his workshop. 😄
inner spade
Hello @dense marlin !
waxen thistle
Pro-tip of the day: don't set your workshop on fire. Remember to always have an ABC fire extinguisher within arm's reach at all times -- and verify the pressure in it is good every so often.
lavish patrol
@waxen thistle That's good advice.
waxen thistle
And when I say within arm's reach -- not obstructed by anything, not behind the workbench. Nothing should ever be in the path between you and the extinguisher. [in case the fire is on the bench, it shouldn't be on a shelf behind the bench]
As Alton Brown (of Good Eats) says -- a fire extinguisher is the only 'unitasker' that he owns, and happily hopes he never uses.

But then I watched this morning and thought, "I should fix that." Dusted it off, downloaded the part STL files from Prusa, and printed a new part. Woohoo! Now off to Thingiverse.

I have an AaE question!!! What material should I use for 3D printing things that come in contact with food? Like a Cookie Cutter? I see people claiming food safe but not real sure who to believe.
nimble jackal
@strong sky Most filament printing is not going to be food-safe. The textured layer lines prevent cleaning. Also your nozzles and such aren't perfectly clean.
sage aspen
@strong sky, you may feel safest using PLA, since it is usually made from plant-based resources such as corn starch.
strong sky
I know... but when I see people that selling 3D printed cookie cutters that claim to be FDA approved materials, I do not know what material they would be using.
Some things I read say PLA is not safe, others say it is. Just seeing what Adafruit thinks. Maybe they have a staff member that has experience with it.

That would be a great project @polar pagoda

I haven't been in the city since the last NYC maker faire, so I'll be excited to come back into town. [I'm just across the river in NJ, but life happens sometimes.]

Adafruit is a big Hypercard supporter, there is a CircuitPython program that emulates it somewhat

Jeff, it's a great time

@robust horizon The past shows are all on Youtube -- for a few years before discord, I only watched AAE and ignored S&T because it was only on google hangouts. And I had misconceptions about the service.
Boy, did I miss out for a while 🙂 But here we are today, and let's make it awesome.

Thanks all, Ask an Engineer will be on in a minute and look for the discount code that PT flashes on the screen for 10% off in the Adafruit store
I started with some code for a new board and then did Show and Tell, about 6 years ago. I'm working for Adafruit now. One can go a long way by honing your skills and showing them and sharing.

The CPX is my go-to prototyping board. They're all-in-one, inexpensive, and super easy to use.

just gave one to my nephew for his 13th birthday 😄 he's starting to tinker and learn to code

@waxen thistle My go-to is currently the PyBadge if I need a display and the CPX if not.
waxen thistle
@split gazelle And it's one of the few boards that's generally safe for all/most-ages. No soldering, no breadboarding, etc. And then woooo, Crickit. 
split gazelle
yes! exactly. he can just rock makecode and have access to all the sensors and then build on that

Crickit!

@dim wigeon Agreed -- the plethora of boards with a built-in display now is so nice. Hallowing, PyBadge, various PyPortals, PyGamer, etc.
