Hi, I'm using an Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 to test a VL53L0X distance sensor. Thanks to this post https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2919 I've found some useful info to use the sensor ,but I've some trouble when ...

... how I can include python modules in the firmware, specifically if I can and where I put them in the firmware source directory structure. Adafruit's tutorial on building micropython the source for the esp 8266 (https://learn.adafruit.com/micropython-basics-loading-modules/frozen-modules) ...

Thanks. I first wrote the code for the robots, and then isolated it into a separate driver — that's why I knew to use radians. Mind me if I steal the idea of staggered pulses and add it to the Adafruit driver?

Adafruit has just released Circuit Python 3.0 alpha with support for SAMD51 M4. https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=131862

They have been developing for the M4 for a number of months: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3382

Damien has also hinted at new developments here.

What's wrong with https://github.com/adafruit/micropython ... it-pca9685 ?

Nothing, other than not knowing it existed. When I wrote this nothing popped up in google searches.

There is also the uRTC library that supports that chip: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-uRTC

You can't update a single field. You are setting a new date every time, with the fields you didn't specify set to defaults (usually 0 or 1).

... bringing the development of a SAMD21 port upstream from CircuitPython (there are builds targeting the Feather M0 Express for example https://www.adafruit.com/product/3403 see https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/tree/master/ports/atmel-samd ) . Might be less work than greenfield development. ...

... was created by Mika Tuupola ( micropython-mpu9250 ). ...Thanks for the SPI mode for SD card... SDCard in SPI mode connected to the same (like on Adafruit 2.4" TFT Featherwing) or different (like on M5Stack) pins as display works quite good. There is an "issue" however, if the image is displyed ...
