Anyone here willing to help me install the drivers for the ds18b20 ? Yes, i have looked at several sources - at least one of which is touted as simple. Well, not to me, they are not. I am a complete noob and the only reason i have got the pyboard running is because it came pre loaded ( Big shout out...

@deshipu It's known, variously, as "the cost of doing business. You have to run as fast as you can just to keep up, "etc. How many buggy whips have you bought lately? If adafruit's map going forward doesn't include microphthon They may regret it, but it is their plan - and their risk. i certainly wo...

I don't buy from Adafruit; when they price their product honestly I may reconsider.however i am constitutionally incapable of dealing with anyone who wants to charge me $12+ to ship a simple 1oz us parcel post for which the USPS charge is ~$2
I can get Pyboards through other channels...

Warren, you completely cleaned the subject out! I agree with everything you said, well, as i understand it anyway. However that still leaves me where i started i.e, Can't get past Zero, stuck below the bottom of the learning curve. I have several places around my property where i could use these thi...

I recently bought a couple of ESP8266 "china boards". and have discovered that my knowledge of Linux/command line, etc. is woefully in adequate for the task of loading micropython. All the load instructions i have tried to follow assume knowledge and a familiarity of Linux and command line which, in...

Confused? Confused!!! You have no idea. Imagine me at 76 yrs old, can't remember what i had for breakfast, zero experience with this stuff. Thanks again, your code fixed me right up. I used your code to show me the errors in the stuff i had cobbled up. Now a happy camper - my greenhouse will be warm...

thanks Dave,
I have been looking for a course that is "beginner " enough for me. I was going thru a course from Code Academy, I think it was, but it disappeared! I'll have to get more serious looking for it...

In your code you referenced "elsif". Did you mean "elif"?

i want to control temperature in a small greenhouse. I have a proper sensor ordered, but in the meantime, i have been hacking around with a simple resistor/thermistor string between 3.3v and ground. I can sense the voltage on ADC1, print it, and blink an led once a second. I have been trying use an ...

Des, I re-scanned all the general discussion pages and found these two, both of which are as advertised I have been doing adc.read(). Works great with pot.read()! pot = pyb.ADC('X1') while True: pot.read() pyb.delay(100) =============================== import pyb pot = pyb.ADC('X1') while True: x = ...

as i have said, i have done the tutorials - blink the LEDs, etc> So, that's good When i try to read the ADC pin and loop similar to blinking an LED it fails... If my frustration shows, it's because well, I am. It's not easy being this ignorant! Edit to add: As i have said elsewhere on this forum, I'...
