Hi,

how can I execute an external program/os shell from the Unix version?

Thanks... Béla

Hi Just built micropython/unix 1.4.4 from source on Linux. In general it works. I tried to import modules listed on http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/index.html page. Most of them are ok, but few standard modules not found: os select struct time Any ide, why they are missing? Thanls... B...

Hi I have an old weather station from mid 1980 years equipped with a so called BSI (BS 6146-1) parallel interface (8 data + 5 control lines, TTL levels). Unfortunately I can't find details how interface works. Does anybody have information using control lines, extract of the standard, etc.? As far a...

Talking about Microchip PIC32 chipKIT boards are good targets to port. There are different boards both with 128k and 512k flash. Great advantage is that board layouts, connectors are mostly compatible to Arduino shields and there are cipKIt boards too. For details see: http://chipkit.net/products/ T...

I love it. Waiting for GitHub code

Under linux, I don't bother unmounting. I just edit the file, copy it across, wait a few seconds for the file writes to finish, press Control-D on the REPL and retest. Occasionally I'm too fast and the file doesn't get written properly. It is a bad parctice, you can't be sure data is really written...

Talking about Arduino, pyboard has a much higher specs hardware than Arduino boards. But the key differentiator is micropython as others already explained.

Great! Are you planning PIC32 MIPS?

ChibiOS does not support MIPS nor 8/16-bit PIC architectures.

One thing I usually check is Python exception support. And none of the existing implementations has something which can be classified as real Python exceptions. I'll tell you why - because it's hard to implement them (you need design VM with them in mind, and then spend bunch of nights to debug the...
