Switch-like split controller for Playstation?! Thanks to @paulcutler.org for latest ep of @thebootloader.net podcast that introduces me to the OpenSplitDeck by TommyB. He’s got a demo video & repo to build your own: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycMgIToLav8 #steamdeck #arduino
New episode! @paulcutler.org and @todbot.com chat about an open source turntable, a new operating system for MicroPython along with Tod's favorite new WiFi dev board, and Eurovision 2026. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts or visit www.thebootloader.net/episodes/202...
Four years ago yesterday The CircuitPython Show first debuted. Thankful for all the people I've met on this podcasting journey and thanks to everyone for listening.
This weekend I have to edit a new episode of The Bootloader. But next weekend's project is set: I'm going to install Booklore for managing my ebooks. booklore.org
CircuitPython 10.1.3 released!
blog.adafruit.com/2026/02/20/c...
Highlights of this release:
- Adafruit MagTag: auto-detect different versions of e-ink display on 2025 MagTag.
- Espressif: fix board I2C object deinit(). Fixes crash with Adafruit Qualia library.
Good idea. Also consider clean coal or nuclear powered data centers on the moon. Multiple ginormous microwave dishes the size of Rhode Island to beam data back and forth. No air pollution (no air up there) and lots of places to store power plant waste.
CircuitPython 10.1.0-rc.1 released!
blog.adafruit.com/2026/02/11/c...
Highlights of this release:
- Fix long-standing Thonny disconnect issues.
- Add hashlib.new("sha256").
- Add bitmaptools.replace_color().
New episode! @paulcutler.org and @todbot.com chat about Benn Jordan's Flock camera hacking, the Adafruit Fruit Jam, Neural Networks in CircuitPython, and more. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts or visit www.thebootloader.net/episodes/202...
Watch out for that guy in the dirty white a-shirt.
JP shows off an e-paper camera mashup that captures, dithers, and displays photos as a magnetic frame, plus tiny ibm pc emulation, ultra-low-power iot firmware, and retro games running on fruit jam. Retro classic themed show and tell with modern hardware build! full video 🧲📸 - youtu.be/XmjFWRt_2S0
Congratulations!
... and a WordPerfect overlay!
Anne Barela's mini-IBM PC which emulated up to a PC with an 80386 microcontroller. Attention to detail is apparent. Shown with vintage look Vortex mini keyboard.
Folks, my mini-IBM PC is finally complete and fully documented!
I invite you to take a look at the full tutorial and a section on why and how I designed this build.
Please share this news and thanks to all who encouraged me.

Maths.
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 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.
New blog post - The Zoom Podtrak P4Next - my first impressions and where I threaten @todbot.com with having to record in person some day: New blog post: The Zoom Podtrak P4Next - www.paulcutler.org/blog/2025/11...
An obsolete scientific laboratory device retrofitted with colored lights to make it appear functional, at least for the movie camera.
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...
New episode! Tod and Paul welcome guest Liz Clark and chat about Raspberry Pi Connect, an open source e-Reader, code as PCB design, and more. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts or visit www.thebootloader.net/episodes/ep0...
Very excited that Paul & I as @thebootloader.net get to be a part of #CircuitPythonDay2025 tomorrow! We’ll be showing some fun projects w/ the Fruit Jam tiny computer, showing cool #CircuitPython demos, and talking about techniques to develop CirPy projects faster. Tomorrow Friday @ 1p PT / 4p ET!
Catch up on the latest episode with special guest John Park. Here's a clip of @todbot.com sharing the KiCad CLI and its benefits. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts.
New episode! @johnpark.bsky.social joins the show and shares floppy disk MIDI boomboxes, @todbot.com shares AlgoRave - live coding music, @paulcutler.org shares the rp2350 as a mini-computer (with the Adafruit Fruit Jam released days after recording), and more! www.thebootloader.net/blog/2025/08...
Coming Monday on a new episode of The Bootloader: @johnpark.bsky.social joins the show and shares... boomboxes that play MIDI files using floppies?
