Re: frequency counter

Hi, And thanks for the responses. The frequency range of the device (Taos TS238 Light-Frequency converter) is ~6hz (dark) to ~500khz. The application is for a cheap photometer that i found here (https://hackaday.com/2015/08/11/simple-cheap-nitrate-tester-is-open-source/). The original design makes u...

interfacing the pyboard to an esp8266-01

Hi, I have an esp8266 that i want to use to connect to local wifi. I was going to use the CC3000 breakout board, as a mycropython module exists (CC3K) however this board seems difficult to get a hold of, is not as good as/more expensive than the esp8266. The version i have is the esp8266-01 - just h...

Re: ftplib.py ported to MicroPython

Hi, This is brilliant - your effort on this is much apreciated. I suppose the next question is (given that i am very new to micropython and the pyboard and am only really a beginner programmer in python); What is the hardware requirement/general aproach to get this to work. We have a couple of optio...

Re: micropython IDE for linux on PC

Hi,
And thanks for the reply - yes an r232 converter did the trick - i am now getting the correct information back. Thanks for all your help.

Did you come across any further information on the ability of micropython to do FTP? Is it worth putting this up as a separate question on the forum?

Cheers.

Is there a micropython IDE that would run under lin...
