Re: Drivers for Waveshare 2.13inch E-Ink display

@pythoncoder thanks for sharing your code, I know you have posted links to it before but this time I sat down and took the time to look closely at your code. It was simple enough to understand how writer.py works. It was the first time that I have seen memoryview() and will be incorporating it into ...

Re: ESP32 Worm Robot with MP

Thanks Mattyt for the offer but I do have a board that I designed and built for a 2 dc motor turtle style robot. I used 2 x L9110 h-bridges because they use less pins and have the lowest forward voltage off all the h-bridges that I played with. I also put 2 x LS7366R encoder counter chips on it keep...

Re: ESP32 Worm Robot with MP

Thanks guys :)

I have a few other ideas for cool robots.

The ESP32 Servo Board should go into production shortly for anyone that wants to buy 1.

At some stage when I get the physical robots sorted out I will make all design pubic and a tutorial on how to build them and put up my code open source.

Re: esp32, ampy, rshell, pyboard & raw REPL [solved]

If you also don't have the 10uf and 1 uf on the 3.3v line close as possible to the wroom module then you can also have brown out stability problems as well.

ESP32 Worm Robot with MP

Just though I would share another robot that I have been developing. It is a worm robot and it produces locomotion by wiggling like a worm. The Worm robot's locomotion speed and steering can be controlled with any web browser. I use my ESP32 Servo board that I designed with Lobo MicroPython to drive...

There is also a known problem of the EN pin needs a 100nf cap to ensure stability of the EN pin. See the Peripheral Schematics from the Wroom datasheet

Re: Issue with SPI Epaper display / Wemos LoLin32 Lite

Have you tries this driver https://github.com/mcauser/micropython-waveshare-epaper

It was written for pyboard so will need to change the way it handles pins but should be easy to get it to do what you want

New ESP32 board with psRAM

I am in the stage of testing my finial prototype ESP32 dev board before putting it inot a small production run. It will have a ESP32 Wrover (psRAM), 1.8" TFT screen, User buttons, PCA9685 16 channel PWM servo controller chip, 10amp buck converter to run the servos. see my demo video at https://www.y...

New OpenMV cam

I got this in an email to day about the next generation OpenMV cam getting ready for release. I have the current OpenMV M7 cam and it's great. It runs micropython to do computer vision on an MCU Check out the OpenMV new cam at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bfa0TnSIFc&feature=youtu.be&utm_source=O...
