Re: USB ID Pin function
If I understand correctly, you're looking to take a stock image (like the pre-made pyboard image) and get it working with your board. In that case I believe you need to pull pin A9 up. If you look at the PyBoard Schematic ( http://micropython.org/resources/PYBv11-schematics.pdf ) you can see this is...

Re: IsoCore: A personal, custom STM32F405 derivative of the pyboard
@devnull is correct - I'm just using the connector for my own expansion not in a compliant form. This is not a decision I would make on a board I intended for widespread use outside my home lab. I like the supply chain prospects of the connector in the long term - hence standardizing on it for mysel...

Re: IsoCore: A personal, custom STM32F405 derivative of the pyboard
From MacroFab it looks like about $72/board turnkey - they do the PCBs and bring in the components.
It drops off quickly if you order a few - I did QTY 4.

IsoCore: A personal, custom STM32F405 derivative of the pyboard
I'm sharing my own personal derivative of the pyboard, the IsoCore. I designed it primarily for my own personal ecosystem and learning/experimentation. IsoCore Top View It drops the accelerometer, but adds a card-edge PCIeX1 connector. I chose - and abused - the PCIeX1 as I believe it's likely going...

Avoiding the Cargo Cult: R19 and VBACKUP
I'm designing my own version of a MicroPython board based on the PYBv1.1 for my own home ecosystem of tinkering. [And it's an instructive exercise!] When walking through the PYBv1.1 I see the note: "R19 prevents a silicon failure from short circuiting the backup battery." I imagine the reasoning is:...

Re: Filesystem: Maximum number of files/directories
This smells like a problem we run into in scientific logging equipment, specifically with FAT file systems. Often, the default formatting for a FAT file system (FAT12, FAT16) only allows for 512 root entries in the root directory. This restriction doesn't exist outside the root directory. Both direc...
