I'm just posting in order to "subscribe" to notifications of any updates to this thread. I'd like very much to know the timeline and pricing of the next generation of PyBoard.

That looks incredible. Thanks.

I wonder what it's going to cost. It really looks pretty remarkable, but that fact in itself is intimidating.

I'm curious if there is any project to develop the next generation of PyBoard? Is so, what features are being targeted? What is the time table for such a project, if any?

Guess I'll have to decide if I want to try it. The cameras cost nothing, so there's no harm in it, other than the risk of wasted time.

Thanks.

Aside from the response you already got, it's worth noting that it might be faster to manipulate bits and bytes with bit operators instead of arithmetic operators. So instead of adding the low byte trying ORing it instead: word = (high_byte << 8) | low_byte Of course, you would have to write a timer...

There is some discussion about cameras going on in other threads. I noticed that some of the cameras available use an SCCB bus, which appears to be very similar to I2C. Has anyone actually used an SCCB device with a PyBoard yet?

Does the PyBoard's UART interface support the Adafruit's camera's baudrate (38400 to 115200)? The docs for MicroPython aren't very clear on which baudrates are permitted to the UART initialization routines (https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/machine.UART.html). All the code examples show...

Thanks for these later responses. There are some good ideas here. I'm balancing the various pros and cons of all the ways to get this running smoothly. I'd hate to have to reinvent, at a high level, protocols that are generally presumed on offer by lower layers after decades of standardization and c...

Hmmm. Ok. On a PyBoard v1.1, running MP v1.9.4., I'm seeing the behavior described above. Thanks.

That memorview tool looks very useful. However, I am not seeing the expected behavior. Consider the following: mp.mem_info(1) a = bytearray(10000) mp.mem_info(1) b = a[:] mp.mem_info(1) c = memoryview(a) mp.mem_info(1) After allocating a , I see a large jump in used memory. After allocating b , I al...
