This post is a wishlist for CircuitPython in 2025. Each year Adafruit asks the community to contribute their thoughts or requests for the open source microcontroller language as outlined on the Adafruit blog. In 2025 I would like a library for working with vectors, similar to that of p5.js Vector. Early this year I spent… Continue reading CircuitPython in 2025
Recently Microsoft released the open 3D generation software Trellis. I decided to try a few tests as reviews had been quite favourable with results creating 3D models with “AI”. The website describes the technology as unified Structured LATent (SLAT) representation and there is a demo page to try it out.https://trellis3d.github.io/ I chose an image-to-3D example,… Continue reading Generative 3D Modeling

(Highlights include: first weekend trip with Lucy, signing a lease on an office, and Third South's annual offsite.) A roundup of writing from the past month: A quick note on nominative determinism, and where Buttondown got its name Lots of media reviews: Catch Me If You Can, Book of Clouds, Becoming Trader Joe (!), We Own This City, Bringing up Bebe, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, A small snippet on truncating timedeltas in the Django ORM Not as much fun writing in January than I had in the past few months; I promise my backlog of topics is longer than ever before.
RP2040, ESP32, AVR, PIC, STM32...? When it comes to hobby projects, there's plenty of choice and just as much zealotry.
