Re: Sharp Memory Display with RP2040 - Pi Pico

It appears that the rp2 port doesn't support the LSB option for SPI . ie, data is always sent with MSB ordering. Glancing over the rp2040 datasheet , sending in LSB order doesn't even seem supported in hardware. So MicroPython may need to reverse the bit ordering in software before handing the data ...

Re: Is Lora-e5/STM32WL SoC compatible with micropython ?

Yes, we've managed to flash MicroPython on the LoRa-E5, but it's still early days. The work is captured in PR 7212. We haven't yet tested LoRa on the device though.

Still working on it when time permits...

Re: Can't edit the Wiki

So there are actually, currently, three MicroPython wiki's (that I'm aware of)! Github wiki wiki.micropython.org MicroPython Mediawiki I believe the goal is to end up using Mediawiki at the wiki.micropython.org address. I think the idea was to migrate useful information from the first two to the thi...

June-September Melbourne MicroPython Meetup Blog update

I'd not kept up with publishing the Melbourne MicroPython Meetup videos and slides...but now I'm happy to say we're up-to-date! That's the past five months (four meetups, June-September, the July meetup was cancelled) that have been updated. Apologies for taking so long to publish them but I hope yo...

Recent updates to MicroPython docs [GSoD 2021]

There have been some recent updates to the MicroPython docs due to the Google Season of Docs (GSoD) effort. Thanks to Niti Kaur and Damien for their work and Google for their support! random rp2 docs have been updated to include PIO and there's also a PIO tutorial mem32 for the ESP32 manifest files ...

Re: Is built-in function iter only partially implemented?

Sorry, there's much better information in issue #5384 (I wasn't aware of this ticket when I first responded). The summary is that yes, it's not implemented. The two argument form isn't so common and there is a work-around (documented in the issue) so I guess it seemed like a reasonable candidate to ...

Re: The esp32-s3 module is already on sale. Will anyone follow up the migration

Firmware images are not currently published; for now you'll have to build it yourself. The ESP32 README should get you started using board=GENERIC_S3.

Re: The esp32-s3 module is already on sale. Will anyone follow up the migration

It's already underway ! The S3 was working but not with PSRAM; Seon (Unexpected Maker) fixed that and sent the small patch to Damien. So the basic system, including the REPL is already working. I'm not sure about peripheral support - a lot should already be working - I haven't been able to actually ...

Re: Is built-in function iter only partially implemented?

That's correct, the sentinel is not implemented. (The note mentioned next but it's the same reasoning for iter.)

Re: time.monotonic() Using Micropython and Circuitpython at the same time

It's surprisingly tricky. I've discussed an implementation with Damien and Jim but any implementation is a compromise. The issue is that using single precision floats are too inaccurate to be generally useful. Double precision floats are inefficient on most micros (on some, horribly inefficient). On...
