Documentation for optional extras

Post by UKtechguy » Thu Jun 19, 2014 1:16 pm

I can't find any documentation on extra goodies either on the official website, this forum or the Google+ forum.

The wireless card supplied is not the Adafruit one mentioned in the Kickstarter updates and I can't find anything about the display board either

Somewhat at a loss as to how I can safely connect the wireless board and display to hack some experiments.

Scared that some devices may 3V or 5V and need to be careful not to destroy anything before I even get started!

Am I looking in the wrong places or is it "coming soon".

I'm interested in the cc3000 support also, the WLAN module Damien demonstrated in update 13 doesn't appear to be compiled into the current downloadable binary.

I've added a section to the wiki to gather information about the official accessories: http://wiki.micropython.org/pages/official-accessories/

Please make sure you start with the documentation. It can be found by following "Docs" link on the main site and leads to http://docs.micropython.org/ . You may be interested in this page: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/h ... components . If online searching doesn't work for you, you can just download PDF at https://readthedocs.org/projects/microp ... df/latest/ and print it. At current 156 pages, it already offers wealth of information and should give couple of hours of good read. With that in mind, it is work in progress, so if you find some information missing (for example, LCD datasheet link is there, but wifi module - isn't), your reporting that via bugtracker https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues is appreciated.
