Thanks Peter. Bit embarrassing really, I had skimmed through that file but was put off running it because I realised I would have to get my soldering iron out, I didn’t study it thoroughly enough to realise it imported aswitch.... off to get my soldering iron.....

I am learning about uasyncio, I am working through the examples in micropython-async-master, and am looking at the classes in aswitch.py, These look really useful but I would really like to see an example of their use to help me understand how they work. Can someone point me in the direction of an e...

I agree that the -X option doesn’t seem to do anything. I carried out some simple tests comparing the performance of functions imported from a .py module against the same function imported from a couple of .mpy files. One mpy file (performace_testC.mpy) was built using no options (mpy-cross performa...

I will admit that I dont fully understand the differences between the various code emitters, but a brief reading of the mpy-cross help file suggests that it can compile byte code using different emitters, see below. Or am I misinterpreting the help file. Do the different emitters have to be specifie...

Thanks for that pythoncoder. It is now obvious when I go back and look at the directory structure. Ive also had a brief test of mpy-cross (using the module code below) and realise that compiling to byte code doesnt speed up this particular example. when I find more time I intend to experiment with t...

Thanks Deshipu and Roberthh, I understand a bit better now. I have briefly experimented with mpy-cross and understand what Deshipu said about it not making the code smaller - but it does offer the opportunity of making the code faster which I had not appreciated and will be useful in one of my proje...

I am trying to understand how I can reduce the size of the code downloaded to a pyboard (or more specifically a microbit) by compiling the accompanying module file to byte code before I download it to the board. I have looked at the tutorial on the adafruit website that shows how to make custom firm...

that makes sense, I am running an older version of Mint, so presumably has a older version of gcc, I was going to bite the bullet and upgrade, so I will do it sooner rather than later

Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't explain very well. what I did was 1. download 'micropython-master.zip" from github (using my browser, because I am not confident i know what I am doing with git from the command line) 2 unzip it 3 go to the top level directory/folder, the one with config.json in it, and use the follo...

I'm trying to build Micropython 1.9.2 for the Micro:bit from source but am running into problems To my amazement, I successfully build the default micropython v1.7.9 on my Linux Mint 17 box, from source, by following the instructions in http://microbit-micropython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/devguide/i...
