... might be a good solution. There are 2 types of RGB strips you should investigate. WS2812 aka Neopixel and APA106 aka Dotstar strips. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/the-magic-of-neopixels https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-dotstar-leds/overview Neopixel have strict timing ...

I should add that Adafruit colour OLED displays are expensive. I usually pay their prices to support the work they do and because their quality, documentation and code is great. But cheap Chinese displays are available. They are inevitably something of an unknown quantity; the one I tried worked fine.

... with touch overlay should be used, with a GUI available here or for large 4.3" SSD1963 displays this one . Display drivers are provided for Adafruit 1.5, 1.27 and 0.96 inch colour OLED displays. There is also the official SSD1306 driver for monochrome OLED displays. These may be used: Alone ...

I've managed to get a full keyboard working on my pyboard by sending bytestrings on my pyboard using pyb.hid. I however noticed that unlike circuitpython, we do not have a adafruit_hid.consumer_control library, which contains keys like volume. I have been searching around on how it works internally,...

... jet looked at what it needs to get this ported to MicroPython.. https://github.com/pimoroni/vl53l1x-python and also what it takes to port it to Adafruit CircuitPython - i think they have a different hardware-abstraction layer - but have not read the Design Guide (https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/3.x/docs/design_guide.html) ...

... ESP32 is the fact I have only encountered 1 commonly used port of MP for ESP8266 where as there is many commonly used ports for ESP32 : Official, Adafruit, Laboris, MStasck and a few other less commonly used ports. To make things worse is many of these ports don't have much docs. Real life use ...

I've posted drivers for SSD1331 displays (Adafruit 0.96 inch OLED) and SSD1351 (Adafruit 1.27 inch and 1.5 inch) colour OLED's). These are based on framebuf and use 8-bit colour to minimise the buffer size. Buffer sizes are 6144, 12288 and 16384 ...

... I see the nano-gui as being quite a minimal interface for small displays only. The biggest I plan to support is the 128*128 pixel 1.5 inch Adafruit colour OLED . To minimise the size of the framebuf I intend to support 8-bit colour only (rrrgggbb) with colours being mapped to the device's ...

... a subset of problems map well to grids. There is some work underway to use a similar approach for displaying graphics in CircuitPython done by Adafruit. I think the general idea of using tiles and sprites to save memory and help you organize your interface is very promising. I agree and look ...

... a simple "bouncing ball" demo so far on it. There is some work underway to use a similar approach for displaying graphics in CircuitPython done by Adafruit. I think the general idea of using tiles and sprites to save memory and help you organize your interface is very promising.
