014 - Scott Shawcroft

The Simple Electronics Podcast - A podcast by Simple Electronics - Fridays

In this week's episode, I have a chat with Adafruit's lead on Circuit Python and self-admitted hardware start-up abandoner Scott Shawcroft! Scott and I chat about Adafruit's quest to simplify and streamline the Circuit Python experience, especially for newcomers, his time working on the Google maps team, and why starting a hardware based company is much harder than it seems! Make sure to check him out on his GitHub and have a look at some Adafruit stuff and see if any of it meets your needs!  Find Scott here:  https://github.com/tannewt/  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjF7R1fz_OOXBHlu9msoXq2jQN4JpCk8A www.tannewt.org  https://twitter.com/tannewt  Find Adafruit here:  adafru.it/discord  https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython www.adafruit.com
