Exploring CircuitPython

Have you ever wanted to explore using Python with electronics? CircuitPython is a great platform to get started with. This week Christopher talks with Thea Flowers. Thea has been creating several hardware projects based around CircuitPython, and she talks about getting started on the platform. She also answers questions about how she taught herself to design and prototype printed circuit boards. Thea discusses several of her open source projects, including Nox, ConductHotline, and getting involved with CircuitPython. She was the conference co-chair for PyCascades, and Christopher asks her about how someone could get involved in volunteering for conferences. Thea also talks about building diversity in the community. This episode was initially recorded at an earlier date, so Christopher asked Thea to come back for a few minutes to discuss updates on her projects and about a recent honor she received.
