Re: MicroPython on Mini SAM M4

Cool, thanks. I did wonder whether it *was* Matt's code since the line number with pin refs would have been wrong. I might update the Mini SAM M4 board definition to pull in his micropython_dotstar library and setup a helper library and function (similar to what the UM boards are doing in ESP32 land...

Re: MicroPython on Mini SAM M4

I commented on GitHub that things seem good, which they do - installation of the binary .uf2 is fine and general REPL access, IDE connection, etc. I'm looking through your GitHub forks, and I'm not sure where the dotstar library is being added for this board? I'm not able to import it: MicroPython v...

Re: MicroPython on Mini SAM M4

Thanks for sharing, Robert! I will definitely check this out in the next few days. (also worth noting that I hadn't read your responses this morning, but, I did mention that I'd had some issues with the Mini SAM board with v1.19.1 during the monthly MicroPython meetup today, and it seemed to catch D...

MicroPython on Mini SAM M4

There's a build of MicroPython for the very cool / cute Mini SAM M4 board (it is shaped like a minifigure ). I can (and have) run CircuitPython on it, but I wanted to dig in on the MicroPython side of things. - installed 1.19.1 .uf2 and restarted board - unable to connect using Thonny (raised an iss...

[*]Look at Awesome MicroPython.
Aside: we really should get that page linked more prominently from the MicroPython website and docs, I should get to work on this issue.

Tips for diagnosing no connect to REPL?

I'm attempting to get MicroPython up-and-running on one of these boards . In principle this is a fairly standard ESP32-C3 dev board, almost identical by sight to the image of the base devkit on the MicroPython downloads page , with the chip physically marked as a ESP32-C3-MINI-1 (observation: annoyi...

Re: I2S missing

Some code archaeology indicates that the initial ESP32-C3 support went into MicroPython on 18th July 2021 , but the support for I2S on ESP32-C3 didn't get into ESP-IDF itself until several weeks later, in August . So, at a guess, it was excluded from the original generic config, and has not been add...

Re: HUB75 display on ESP-WROOM-32

Yes, that's the way that Pimoroni ship their MicroPython for Pico/RP2040 - they roll their own, with modules frozen in. I've recently been building some custom ESP32-C3 builds and it went more smoothly than I had anticipated :) I don't currently have time to dive in to the HUB75 stuff myself, but I'...

Re: HUB75 display on ESP-WROOM-32

I haven’t tried the code, but your question (and the fact that I’ve recently come into possession of a couple of HUB75 panels myself) reminded me that Pimoroni do a product called Interstate 75 which is an RP2040 board for driving the HUB75. They have C and MicroPython samples on GitHub. https://git...
