MicroPython Forum (Archive)

Hi, I can see some challenges in your approach which you might want to consider: 1. Writing to SD Card is relatively slow. An oscilloscope would require you to e.g. write 1 million samples / sec to the SD card reading them in by 12 bits would make (taken a 16 bit value for storage) 1.9 MB/sec of bin...

Would be glad to see a code snippet. This way we could test the code formatting of the forum too

Hi, Some of you like to read the posts more in a mailing list manner and others live in the console and avoid to stare on white screens as much as possible. Therefore, I enabled the ATOM-feed for the forum and want to share that you can subscribe to the forum with your favorite newsreader software. ...

That is actually a very good idea. We might can thing of a diff document structure which links to (or embed) the original doc and add a paragraph "Micropython:" to it. A semi-automatic system would allow to pull in new docs from python.org relatively easy just adding the micropython specific parts. ...

@pfalcon: I guess we are actually talking about the same line of controllers. I do not target high-end controller either. Otherwise, I would go and use a RPi or a BeagleBone and similar boards, with the benefit of running an entire OS with all the awesome available software. Yes, I agree micropython...

First of all, regarding "new" and "old" versions. I would like to start with resetting the baseline by saying that new versions of most software don't bring any useful changes. Mostly, they bring flip-flop style of changes and features not really needed by users. There're purely marketing matters b...

I wonder if we could make use of something like this https://github.com/whispersystems/bithub I guess esp. a project like micropython might receive contributions of quite a lot and often very divers fields and a kind of extra payment might help here and there. E.g., Some people might want to address...

This comes along the lines, whether micropython should use something like doxygen or Epydoc etc.
It will encourage devs to write meaningful commands, docstrings, etc. and can be a task for non-programmers to help with.
Even if this auto-generated doc is very limited, it is better then no doc.

@pfalcon: Yes, sharing among some people the moderation duties is on the list. As said by dhylands, we expect a larger peak of user registrations after the pyboards starts shipping. As for the subforums, I want to let it grow naturally. If you or others find that a certain topic is addressed frequen...

Hi, Approval is only required for the first two posts of a newly registered user. If I find time, I even promote new users to the regular user base manually after the first post. By time we will see how well we can protect the forum against spambots and trolls and if we could remove the approval ste...
