MicroPython Forum

I guess it makes sense although it is confusing in repl to have a different behaviour between const and strings. The optimisation is important in device drivers where, for readability, you might want a lot of integer symbolic constants. This allows them to be used at zero cost (in RAM and in perfor...

The official test running on a Pyboard 1.1 reports 28fps drawing some fairly complex graphics. Actual rates are likely to depend on exactly what you're drawing.

Something has gone wrong with the download page, I have raised an issue so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

As for the LCD skin subjectively it's similar to the Pyboard 1.x. In practice the refresh rate tends to depend on how you're using it.

It seems to work as I'd expect. Consider foo.py from micropython import const _A = const(1) _B = 2 C = 3 At the REPL >>> from foo import * >>> dir() ['const', '__name__', 'C'] Names with underscores are not exported. This is standard Python. Now try: >>> import foo >>> foo._A Traceback (most recent ...

Is it possible that Google impose some form of throttling?

The syntax causes form_data to be an instance of a Python set. It should be a string, as per your earlier example.

This strikes me as an important issue as it's a key selling point of the SF3W. If there is no response from @Damien or @jimmo it might be worth raising on GitHub.

Converting Arduino code to MicroPython is not particularly difficult but you do need a reasonable knowledge of C/C++ and Python. The Adafruit way of accessing hardware is somewhat different but there is a driver for the MLX90614 so using that should be easy.

I don't know where you're getting this idea. The original Pyboard is in stock https://store.micropython.org/product/PYBv1.1 as is the Pyboard D https://store.micropython.org/product/PYBD-SF2-W4F2. The project is highly active.

It does indeed work well. I pointed out to Damien a while back that the way the store is laid out doesn't make it obvious. The other issue I mentioned is that it would be good if there were documentation showing what pins brought out on the LCD160CR are available for use when plugged into a Pyboard ...
