In the latest episode of The CircuitPython Show, learn about circremote from @romkey.com - one of the many things it can do is clean and de-crapify your drive, removing the junk files macOS and even emacs leave.

Just some of the cool things you can do with circremote: list files on the drive, remove files, scan the I2C bus, and test sensors without writing code. Check it out and give it a star on GitHub.

Check out the latest episode of The CircuitPython Show with guest John @romkey.com. John shares circremote, one of the neatest ways I've seen to work with a #CircuitPython device over serial or web workflow.

Just finished building a lighting system for an obsolete analyzer to be used in a sci-fi movie production. Of course it uses a bunch of @adafruit components and runs on CircuitPython. Here's the Playground note that explains the project approach: adafruit-playground.com/u/CGrover/pa...

My Christmas present showed up a month early, the just released Zoom PodTrak P4Next. This will replace my MOTU M2 and the P4Next should give me slightly better mic quality with its built-in EQ and compressor.

It's almost Halloween, so if you're lazy like me but still want to pretend you put in some effort, and you own a pair of @adafruit.com LED glasses, check out my firmware for them. It's got several cool modes and can optionally be controlled via Adafruit's Bluetooth Connect app!
