Did you try replacing by or something like that?

Thanks again Peter. I only very recently started to experiment with at asynchronous coding, so this is helpful. I'll be trying to implement all I need without timers, if only as a learning experience. In case anybody is interested, I'm a stable isotope geochemist and this project aims to design from...

Thanks Peter for pointing me to that. I'm trying to make this work but my UART device (MKS 910 pressure/vacuum gauge) seems to communicate without ever using newlines: all communications are of the form "@254_;FF", with the underscore replaced with the actual content of the message. I tried calling ...

I have prior experience with pyboard Timers and I'm currently learning my way around the uasyncio library. Are there general recommendations as to how these two things work well (or not) together? For example, suppose I wanted to repeatedly write to a UART device, wait for a fixed delay and read fro...

I feel like this question must be answered somewhere, but I've been looking for some time now with no success: what is the max current that can be safely supplied by each of the 3V3 pins of the pyboard 1.1?

I have a pyboard-D powered by the 5V output of this step-down voltage regulator and connected to an audio amp, an MPU, and a thread of 144 WS2812 leds potentially drawing several Amperes of current. The pyboard reads data from the MPU and generates sound and light effects in real-time. For debugging...

When using small mezzanine connectors it is good practice to route unused pins to dummy tracks with vias close to the unused pads.

That sounds interesting, but could you explain why? Does this improve mechanical robustness? How?

What coworkers and I did a few times is just to solder all pads without taking care of possible interconnections between adjacent pads. And then to remove the excessive solder with solder wick. Sounds strange, but worked. I second this suggestion, which in my experience works very well. I've done s...

I successfully compiled micropython with ulab for the pyboard-D (SF6), but I can't seem to do the same for the unix port. This is on a Mac with macOS 10.13.6 with the latest XCode tools. Here is my build script: git clone https://github.com/micropython/micropython.git git clone https://github.com/v9...

In any case, if you can compile a working piece of firmware with the latest source as @jimmo suggested, would you mind reporting back here? If it is still not working, then I would be interested in finding out where the problem lies. I did compile a working version based on micropython 1.11 (6f75c4...
