“In all, there were ten different types of clouds: cumulus, stratos, cumulonimbus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus, altocumulus, altostratus, cirrocumulus, cirrostratus, and cirrus – each with their own personality: fluffy, detached, transparent, thin, continuous, gray, heavy, dense, semi-transparent, and layered, which I use to describe my own moods and feelings at any given time.” ― Sia Figiel

Can you believe CircuitPython is now in its sixth iteration? That's right! Join us and Blinka as we soar higher and higher into the big, electronic sky of coding future. 

Feature-wise, this stable latest release adds basic lower power support when in time.sleep() and initial ESP32-S2 support. The ESP32-S2 has native wireless WiFi support, which lets Blinka soar higher and higher!

We sometimes look to the past for inspiration, so we're celebrating this new release in "software box art" style here. You may remember when software came in a box - now with download-only you probably miss the shrink-wrap, the CD-ROMs, and even the cool release posters you'd sometimes snag.

And since you're a CircuitPython fan (right?) we wanted to give you a lovely poster you can use to hang up in your python den. We already have the Blinka, the friendliest coding snake, on a sticker, an enamel pin, and a temporary tattoo. And now she's on a new, lovely, glossy 24 x 18 inches poster that will look stellar in your work space or bedroom! She will provide the nicest moral support in your darkest coding (writer's) block.

The CircuitPython 6 Poster appears in the following collections:
