Re: Accessing the SD card

Okay, I expect that I will use serial over USB then. I assume that this is implemented in micropython so it shouldn't be a problem doing the comms. Looking at the specs for pySerial I came across this: (snip) So I should be able to get a reasonable throughput. I talk to an AVR through pyserial (ove...

Re: Supporting ST Nucleo platfroms

The STM32F401RE has 512 KB of FLASH, 96 KB of RAM, and runs at 84 MHz. It should run MicroPython quite well. It is of course more memory constrained than the STM32F405, but it has more RAM and FLASH than the Teensy 3.1, so I don't see any issues.

Re: Usage of this forum

I'm willing to be a moderator if you need more. Dave and I are both in Canada - he's on the west coast, and I'm in Ontario (Dave is my brother, in case anyone hasn't guessed).

I2C Working

I don't know if anyone has played with the general I2C library, but I have been able to successfully talk to an L3GD20 3-axis gyro using SCL2/SDA2 on my MicroPython board. The mma sensor on the PYBv4 uses its own i2c code, for some reason. I really like how simple it is to use, and how it handles th...

Re: uCee (MicroCrawler) Robot with a custom MicroPython Boar

The tracks are from a Lego kit (Kit #9391): http://thebrick.mindcop.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/9391-1-520x385.jpg I did my own board for a couple reasons. First off, the space inside the robot is very tight (its a very small robot), and fitting the official PyBoard on a carrier board with all th...

uCee (MicroCrawler) Robot with a custom MicroPython Board

I've been working on a new robot design over the past couple months, and it is mostly done from a hardware standpoint. http://www.huv.com/uCee/uCee-01-smaller.jpg The board looks like this: http://www.huv.com/uCee/uCee-PCB.jpg Here's what it looks like populated: http://www.huv.com/uCee/uCee-Board.j...

Re: What is basic hardware requirements for micropython

We've run it successfully on the processor on the Teensy 3.1, which is a Freescale Cortex M4 with 64 KB of RAM, and 256 KB of FLASH, running at 96 MHz. With a fairly small (7 classes) application running, I was consuming about 56 KB of RAM.
