Howdy all, After much wrangling around and getting some valuable help I was able to conquer the little oled display to display a simple temp output from the Pi Pico's internal temp sensor. Some notable accomplishments: (for me anyways) Converted Celsius to Fahrenheit Update ONLY temp output as oppos...

Micropython uses 32-bit floats by default, so you only get six significant digits. You can get more digits printed by specifying the number of digits explicitly: >>> print('{:.12f}'.format(lat)) 4030.331611633301 Just don't expect anything beyond 6 significant digits with 32-bit floats. I believe i...

Hello all, just been playing with my Pi Pico and going through some tutorials and am struggling with getting my little Adafruit SSD1306 OLED display working. Specifically 0.91" 128x32 I have looked through the code example that are listed on the adafruit website and they are for circuit python or py...

Could I define a button function statement? Example: def button_on() print('You pressed the button!') def button_off() print('You killed the lights!') Then I could place a call to each function with their respective if statements? But would they not simply print on and on, or would they simply print...

Howdy all, Ok so just getting started here and trying to figure some basic code. I have a set of LED's that I have setup to flash when you press a button. This works as coded. I am trying to feedback some basic info back to the terminal window. So in my loop when button state is (1) #'on' it flashes...

You can use pyboard.py (found in micropython/tools) to upload a file into memory and execute it. Something like: pyboard.py -d /dev/ttyACM0 name-of--python-file I unfortunately get the following: >robert@mountain-cabin:~/micropython-1.14/tools$ pyboard.py /dev/ttyACM0 blinkpico.py bash: pyboard.py:...

I am using micropython v. 1.12 and PYB v1.1. connected via usb to raspberry pi 4B with latest version of Raspberry Pi OS. I can manually enter rshell and then enter repl and then type import mm1 and get the simple program to run ok. However, if I run the following code, it does'nt work: $rshell rep...

I wanted to say thanks for all the replies and helpful comments posted. The rshell command was what I was seeking so I am grateful for the help getting that installed and working. I find that it is important to know how things work and being able to directly communicate with the hardware via command...

Ok, so I was able to open another shell tab and >cat blinkpico.py and copy the contents. Then in the repl I was able to enter 'paste' mode (^E) and paste the program in and use ^D and viola, blinky pico! >>> paste mode; Ctrl-C to cancel, Ctrl-D to finish === import machine === import time === pin = ...

Hey Robert, so if your trying to access the repl, why don't you just type >repl ? Duh, knuckle head! :oops: robert@mountain-cabin:~$ rshell -p /dev/ttyACM0 Using buffer-size of 128 Connecting to /dev/ttyACM0 (buffer-size 128)... Trying to connect to REPL connected Retrieving sysname ... rp2 Testing ...
