Re: uCee (MicroCrawler) Robot with a custom MicroPython Board
very nice, did you customize the firmware at all?

No, other than what my brother mentioned (changing a couple board-level constants since I don't have servo ports, an accelerometer, a user switch, etc), I'm running the stock firmware.

Awesome, any chance you can share the Protel/Altium Libraries?

There is no chance I can share Protel/Altium libraries, because I did the design in Kicad...

Thanks for the files. Can you shed some light on booting the device from USB and loading micropython? is it a matter of plug and play if the schematic is designed properly?

You need to get the board into DFU mode, and then its just a question of using dfu-util to load micropython. The tools and techniques are identical for my board versus the official pyboard.
