Dear community, Welcome to the second issue of the MicroPython Newsletter! The hardware Last week we announced the new, upcoming pyboard D-series and that it would hopefully be available in the next few months.

You might also like to try out raw REPL mode (ctrl-A at the prompt) which is a way to programmaticall...

There was a recent change to how this stuff works behind the scenes and you now need to derive the DUP class from io.IOBase: class DUP(io.IOBase) ...

Great! Thanks for confirming the fix.
