interesting read, thanks for sharing this.

I used @pythoncoders fusion lib to work with the lsm9ds1 sensor chip and made a balancing ball example (video link is also in the link above)

I'm the author of this driver. It was originally designed to work with the pyb module and its I2C interface. Later I started to port the driver to work with the machine module but unfortunately I couldn't test it because my SenseHat board was broken. It seems that I've overlooked a couple of things....

I guess he meant it was never part of the machine module (pyb still supports high/low)

To me, high/low refers to an electrical state, and that is what a pin's state is. It is somewhat confusing that on/off is now used for both signal and pins... but maybe it's just me...

It's kind of odd. In mpconfigboard.h, there is MICROPY_HW_SPIFLASH_SIZE_BITS defined (probably to activate the external SPI flash). This in turns activates a compiler switch within storage.c (USE_INTERNAL = 0). So your code snippet shouldn't make a difference on the outcome (since it's not active). ...

lets hope they release their source code so that the module can be upgraded with a more recent uPy version. Without that it is pretty inflexible.

I've created a starter jupyter worksheet that explains things (how to install jupyter and the mpy-repl-tool package) and shows how to turn on a LED resp. the example disco flash effect from the official tutorials: https://github.com/hoihu/projects/blob/master/uPy/jupyter/uPy-tutorial1.ipynb It's pre...

On the 1st page of their datasheet they mention uPy as a preprogrammed application. And further reading reveals: The SPWF04Sx includes a MicroPython scripting engine to enable simple and fast custom application development on the module MCU: no external MCU is needed and the customer application run...

Really nice.

I'm using jupyter lately quite a bit but it didn't cross my mind that this combination is possible.

Would be cool to have a set of jupyter notebook tutorials, e.g. for uPy workshops.

Despite the odd naming that is interesting. It does offer 2MB flash and wifi at a compelling price but more relevant is that it is coming from one of the major ARM chip manufacturer - and they mention uPy as a key piece of FW. I think that is great! Lets hope other silicon manufacturers (TI, Freesca...
