Deep Dive w/Scott: Actions, Bundles and Boards oh my #adafruit
Channel: Adafruit Industries
Date: 2021-04-16

In the video I answer questions folks have, discuss GitHub Actions, discuss the new project bundles, talk about BLE file transfer progress. Next week will be on Friday.

I’m sponsored by Adafruit to work on CircuitPython. Support them, and by extension me, by purchasing hardware from https://adafruit.com

Chat with me and lot of others on the Adafruit Discord at https://adafru.it/discord.

Deep Dive happens every week. Normally Fridays at 2pm Pacific but occasionally shifted to Thursday at 2pm. Typically goes for two hours or more. Questions are welcome.
