Re: Migration to GitHub Discussions

Only immediate issue for me is that Discussions has the same favicon as Github, so I can't easily tell if a tab is a github thing (with the octocat favicon) or a MicroPython thing (used to have an "M" favicon, now yet another octocat favicon)

Re: New module to parse MIDI files available

Ooh, neat. I am a complete MIDI numpty, but I can follow how this works. What annoyance can I bring using this plus a simple piezo buzzer, I wonder? If anyone's looking to convert MIDI notes (0 - 127) to frequencies, 440 * 2**((float(note) - 69) / 12) will do it (as suggested by Note names, MIDI num...

Re: Attempting compile of pico firmware error?

It's also probably best not to build firmware as root. All the Pico build instructions assume that you're not

Re: Protest against the registration verification !

The majority of open-source software is hosted on a closed source platform controlled by Microsoft. I don't like it that everything is moved to a company (Microsoft) controlled platform. If something later changes, you'll regret it. Microsoft, as a large company that can be sued, has to provide bes...

Re: Using 1MB MP image? What specific package for uasyncio is correct?

There's no room on the 1 MB image for uasyncio. The 1 MB image is a legacy thing: everyone doing useful things has moved onto bigger boards.

I know why you're messing with it, but you'll probably have to work this one out yourself, since it's futile effort for everyone else

Re: transmit specific set of bits from Excel file in Mycropython

I don't know any way of reading an xlsx file in MicroPython: they are zip files with the content encoded in XML in files stored inside. If you save it as CSV, it might not be impossible to parse. If you're needing the 10 MHz frequency, though, reading from flash and parsing won't be fast enough. You...

Re: unexpected wdt reset on esp8266 nodemcu v3

Are you suggesting that having to separate 'groups' is functional or of benefit?
No, I'm saying that the MicroPython team is considering closing this forum and moving to Github Discussions.

Re: MicroPython with Raspberry Pi Manjaro ....

You should be able to install/use Thonny, no?

(If this is to do with your monitor problems reported on the Raspberry Pi boards, Manjaro likely won't have better support)
