writing a debugger/pdb for micropython

I think it would be really valuable (mostly from a teaching and learning perspective) to have debugging capabilities in micropython. I'm imagining something quite simple - for starters, a way to set a breakpoint (like import pdb; pdb.set_trace() ) then drop into a REPL when that line is hit; albeit ...

List of boards and how they communicate/are programmed?

Hi, I'm working on a fork of the mu editor https://github.com/ntoll/mu . The original design is for the bbc:microbit, but I've made a few quick and dirty changes to make it work with the ESP8266 running micropython (my fork is at https://github.com/eduvik/mu ). I'd also like to make this work with a...

Re: mu editor for micropython

It does indeed: big improvement :D I have a UI issue, though, but should it be raised against your fork or the original? The dialog box which pops up if you click on files when the REPL is open (and vice versa) does not behave like a proper modal dialog: if you click on the main window it disappear...

Re: mu editor for micropython

OK; latest commit fixes most of the REPL issues (I think, not really tested it much)

Re: mu editor for micropython

Rather than run a binary from the web I cloned the repo, fixed the dependencies and ran the Python code directly. I'm getting the following issues: The REPL doesn't let me send ctrl characters to the target. The REPL doesn't respond normally to editing characters. If I type a followed by backspace ...

mu editor for micropython

I've just discovered mu http://codewith.mu/ for the bbc microbit, and have modified it to work with the ESP8266 (or, indeed any device that communicates purely over serial). My fork is at https://github.com/eduvik/mu - feel free to have a play and/or contribute. It's all written in python :)
