 Welcome to the latest Python on Microcontrollers newsletter! Welcome to the New Year! Certainly things have picked up, between commercial shows like CES2026 and folks making things during their holiday break. Every year the CircuitPython team holds an open forum for the community to say what they want the team to do that year. This year is #CircuitPython2026. Please post your thoughts on where things should go and let the developers know. There is some exciting CircuitPython developments from the community, including machine learning integration and a third party debugger from River Wang. All this and more. Thank you for subscribing and please let your friends, colleagues and students know to subscribe. - *Anne Barela, Editor*
