This page collects links to all of the pages in the "State And Events In CircuitPython" series.

• Part 1: Setup.

  In the first installment, we discuss the platform we're using (both CircuitPython and the Adafruit M0/M4 boards that support it), and build a simple circuit for demonstration purposes. We'll also talk a bit about abstraction.

• Part 2: Exploring State And Debouncing The World.

  In part two of the series, we really dig into what state actually is, using analogies from real life. We then look at how we might model real-life state using Python data structures.

  But first, we discuss a common problem that all budding electronics engineers have to deal with at some point: "noisy" buttons and how to make them "un-noisy", commonly referred to as "debouncing".

  We talk about fixing the problem in the worst, but maybe easiest way: by blocking. We also talk about why it's bad.

• Part 3: State And Microcontrollers And Events (Oh My!).

  Part three shows us how to debounce buttons without blocking, and explores the concept of events.

  It uses the testing code from Part 1 as a subject, refactoring it to be non-blocking, and enhancing it to add a new feature.
