Re: SD Card not mounting on computer or on board

Well, that is either progress or just random chance. I booted the board in mode 3, and reset the files in flash at least. The first time it booted, I got the flash showing up as NO NAME and I restored my main.py and /lib folder onto it. Upon reset nothing mounted and nothing seemed to run on the boa...

Re: SD Card not mounting on computer or on board

If anyone has any idea on how to debug this I'd appreciate it. I've tried mounting it on my mac, and on ubuntu running in virtual box on the mac, but neither of those worked. Putting the card in a card reader it mounted just fine. I wonder if booting the board in mode 3 with the sd card in would do ...

Re: Documentation

OK thanks, so that makes sense. I probably should read through the source and try to do what I can to understand it before writing documentation anyway. I'll see if I can do that for some low hanging fruit when I have a little spare time.

Re: Anyone working on HD44780 library?

It appears to work now, so either I was messing up something before inadvertently, or the new firmware fixed it. Thanks Dave.

Documentation

Is there any way to contribute to the documentation on Micropython that is on the micropython.org site? I find it to be really inadequate and inaccessible for someone new to dealing with microcontrollers, and as I learn more, it seems like a good way to contribute to the community, might be to add t...

Re: Anyone working on HD44780 library?

I'll try this when I get home tonight.

I am on flash as well because as mentioned in another thread, my SD seems not to work. I updated to the latest firmware last night so that could take care of it.

SD Card not mounting on computer or on board

HI, I have a Victor 4Gb class 4 microSD card, that I swear worked a few weeks back when I tried to use it (a few firmware upgrades ago) I tried using it today and couldn't get it to work. When I plug in the usb cable, my finder windows (Mac OS 10.9) shudder as if they are mounting a new volume, but ...

Re: Interesting issue with different sdcards

Did this ever get resolved? I'm wondering if the SD card issue I'm having is the same one on this thread from a month and a half ago.

I suspect it is not the same issue because even in REPL I can't access the card. Hmmm.

Re: Anyone working on HD44780 library?

I'm not yet finding the issue, but it seems like as soon as I put the lcd module into the libs directory, importing GdioLcd causes the board to freeze with all LEDs on the board lit up. It seems to only work for me if I keep the module files in my root directory. Am I doing something wrong, or is th...

Re: Anyone working on HD44780 library?

Glad I looked at the forums, I had just been starting to write support for an LCD using 4-bit or 8-bit mode. Now instead I'll dig in and try to figure out how to use what you've already done. Once again Dave saves the day!
