Re: The 'machine' module on Raspberry Pi

The CircuitPython HAL works on Raspberry Pi with Linux, its using CPython tough.

Having the machine module on Raspberry Pi is definitely possible, but nobody wrote it yet.

Re: Integrating Loboris port back to official uP ESP32 port

I think it's hard to decide what should go into the "core" and what should not. What is the state of loadable C-modules? I think the display driver would be a good candidate for a loadable C module, while RMT sounds like a hardware capability of the board that could go in the core.

Re: MicroPython with VisualStudio Code

Can we create stubs from the help() output? Or the documentation?

Re: Integrating Loboris port back to official uP ESP32 port

Sorry, I didn't mean to discredit the ESP32 or the community around it. Just wanted to point out the situation, the problems, the options.

You are doing the right thing - building up the community to support the ESP32 target!

Re: Integrating Loboris port back to official uP ESP32 port

The Pyboards are expensive because they finance Damiens work. The price difference of an ESP32 and a Paboard D comes from the money the devloper needs to make sure the firmware supports all hardware features. The ESP32 is not an interesting target for anyone to support, because there is no money to ...

So, have people received boards already?
I havn't gotten a shipping notice yet. I guess they have a lot of work right now.

Re: Copyright statement

The year doesn't matter much, since the copyright lasts for a very long time. You can update it every year if you made significant changes. Many people put the initial year in and never update it. Sometimes people update it when there is major release and they actually remember to do it. Legally, it...

Re: Target audience for MicroPython?

@ThomasChr I don't think anyone in here understands what the threadstarters issue is. MicroPython can't make the ESP8266 magically have more RAM. The "drivers written in C" argument ... how many user-contributed drivers are there in C? Most of them are in Python. The "can't build on windows" argumen...

Re: Developing PCB layout

This is a pretty hard question. Have you ever learned the fundamentals of electronics, i.e. at school? Like what is a resistor, what is a capacitor? Basic laws, like U = R * I and stuff like that? This is the first level of knowledge you need and I guess this is taught at most schools. After that, y...
