How to create an array of 16-bit words?

I'd like the use the ADC in 12-bit resolution mode and write to a buffer of 16-bit words. How to create this array in uPython? Doing "a = array.array('i',range(100))" creates an array of 4-byte words. Is there something like bytearray but for words? I guess there is plenty of RAM in the CPU and I co...

Re: Where to find source code for Pyboard classes?

Thanks, Dave. I read through adc.c more thoroughly overnight and saw the notations for interfacing to Python.

Where to find source code for Pyboard classes?

I'd like to read the source code for the Pyboard class ADC library. Where do I find this? I've fished around in github but don't see it. I found "stmhal" in micropython-master and it contains adc.c, but there must be a Python layer above that.

Re: Can't get REPL prompt

What fixed the problem for me was running Dell diagnostics on the USB system. I know the specifics of what I'm offering are only applicable to Dells, but maybe others can find similar diagnostic programs. In dell.com/support, once you let it identify your computer, you are offered an array of tests....

Re: Can't get REPL prompt

I think my difficulty is due to a problem in my computer, perhaps conflicting USB drivers. I cranked up an old laptop running Windows XP, removed all old USB drivers, installed pybcdc.inf, and the program works properly there.

Can't get REPL prompt

Simply put, when I press Ctrl-C in puTTY, my program stops but I don't get a REPL prompt. Where is the REPL data going? boot.py: import pyb pyb.usb_mode('CDC+MSC') # act as a serial and a storage device pyb.main('main.py') # main script to run after this one main.py: import pyb switch = pyb.Switch()...

Re: Need help debugging with REPL

@pythoncoder - Thanks, Peter. I'll try your approach of running the program from REPL. I have so far been running the program as a startup, without starting from REPL.

Need help debugging with REPL

This is my first post. By way of introduction, I'm a longtime programmer currently using E-Lab Pascal (from Germany) for embedded projects with Atmel AVR chips, and Labview for data acquisition and analysis. I also used Ada for about 8 years. I've never used Python and am just beginning to work with...
