CircuitPython 8.0.0 Beta 5 released with one-line status bar

CircuitPython 8.0.0 Beta 5 released. 

A one-line status bar added to displays connection status, last exception, and version on a terminal window title or on the top line of an attached display. It need Mu 1.2.0 or Thonny 4.0.x and later to suppress status bar information in the REPL output.



Currently on Linux Mint 21, the Thonny available to be installed with apt is ver 3.3.14, not the most update 4.0.1. Refer last post "Install Thonny 4.0.1 on Linux Mint 21".

Raspberry Pi Pico W with CircuitPython 8.0.0 Beta 5, work with Thonny 4.0.1.


Work on Raspberry Pi Pico with CircuitPython 8.0.0 Beta 5, one-line status bar added on top of attached display ST7789.

boochow/MicroPython-ST7735 is a modified version of GuyCarver's ST7735.py ST7735 TFT LCD driver , for micropython-esp32. This video show steps to prepare boochow/MicroPython-ST7735 driver and font files. Tested on  Espressif ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 running MicroPython v1.19.1, to display on  1.8 inch 128x160 ST7735 SPI TFT .
