Re: Stepper motor module

The drawback would be a substantially lower maximum step rate, especially on the ESP826 Yes, well, say you are using a common 200 steps/rev motor, and 1/4 microstepping, and two edges per step, or 1600 edges to generate per revolution. The OP's code has a 20 uSec minimum time between edges. At 20 u...

Re: RSHELL --buffer-size recommendation

So a while back I filed this issue: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/3231 which has a similar smell, although it has nothing to do with rshell. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to get back to chasing it but I hope to get some bench time on it this weekend when I can set up a te...

Re: CAN ISR - MemoryError due to can.recv(0)

Note that "softirq" functionality as mentioned in one of your linked threads became micropython.schedule(), which is parhaps another solution to this problem.

Re: Using micropython with arduino core

Have you looked at the @micropython.native and @micropython.viper decorators?

Re: Low Overhead API JSON - avoiding mystifying tokenizer

You might want to check out jsmn https://github.com/zserge/jsmn which tokenizes JSON by simply giving you pointers into the JSON text. It isn't incremental, but on the other hand it doesn't do any dynamic memory allocation either. I was looking at it for an embedded project and I was attracted to it...

Re: CAN ISR - MemoryError due to can.recv(0)

Kind of a sticky one. It would be nice if there were a version of CAN.recv() that wrote to a pre-allocated buffer. My first thought would be to use array.array() to pre-allocate a buffer, and then write the call-back as inline assembly that read from the hardware registers and wrote to the pre-alloc...

Re: Serial echo hangs? I must be crazy...

Use two Pyboards, one to flood the other? Yes, I have a pair I can try that with. Also, I've been able to cause the behaviour with an FTDI serial adapter cable. A pair of PyBoards would probably be a better test from the viewpoint of Micropython maintainers because that guarantees access to a known...

Tried the test micropyton/test/micropython/const.py on my pyboard and it fails.

Reusing uart.c functions for a serial device

I'm working on a project with a couple of serial protocols that need to run relatively fast. I'm thinking of creating C modules that implement the protocols so that the Python interface doesn't have to keep up with the character-level protocols. Can I link against uart.c to pick up the basic uart in...
