I'm glad you found your problem! I think it would be better to change the class initializer to receive the pin numbers where the sensor is connected and internally build the I2C object with the correct parameters, even the internal pull-up resistors could be enabled to avoid to have to put external ...

Just a quick heads-up: I heard on the recent Hackaday podcast that there was a robotics effort that used a PC to do all the processing and ESP-NOW to communicate to the robot. The interesting part is that I wasn't aware of the project to implement ESP-NOW on Linux . The repo is Linux-ESPNOW . Though...

Installing with upip is, for now, perhaps not the best option - some of the registered "micropython-" projects are not registered to active MicroPython developers and are unmaintained. That said, micropython-copy looks valid; it should have worked? Just clone the micropython-lib repository and cherr...

I've recently kickstarted an effort to document the MicroPython Standard Library Coverage . It's a wiki page that lists all of the Python standard libraries and details whether they're built-in, available in micropython-lib or anywhere else. It will also eventually describe if the libraries differ f...

I could have used this in the past and I will certainly use it in the future! Nice work Peter, thanks!

I'll try and find time to review these properly; datetime is an often-requested feature and this will be a wonderful addition to MicroPython. Thank-you!

You're right that thie NeoPixel implementation has been undergoing some significant rework. Most of it is captured in # 7637 but, in short, NeoPixel is now generic across all ports but built expecting to have access to (the new) machine.bitstream. Bitstream is responsible for sending the timing-spec...

Andrew Leech's PyCon AU 2019 talk, Profiling Pathogens with (micro) Python , provides some information about using MicroPython in medical devices. I work at the same company as Andrew and, while I'm not sure we can talk much about our products, we have multiple projects that employ MicroPython for m...

Some of my go-to's: TinyPICO by Unexpected Maker (best, all 'round) M5Stack 's many boards are reliable and have rich peripheral support ( Core2 , M5StickC Plus , ATOM Lite , ATOM Matrix , Cameras ) Wemos D32 boards (cheap, cheerful but decent) LilyGo boards (cheap, cheerful, lower-end of acceptable...

This normal, that's a difference between MicroPython and CircuitPython That's not quite right, just to clarify; CircuitPython requires USB mass storage support (at least, until very recently where they're relaxing that for some ports where BLE can be used to interact with the filesystem). MicroPyth...
