Re: ESP32 SPI RAM not initialized

I see. So are the 32Mbits of SPI flash mentioned in the Overview section of this datasheet referring to some other flash storage? Do you know what it is used for?

ESP32 SPI RAM not initialized

Hello. I'm having trouble flashing an ESP32 board, the ESP32-DEVKITC 32U, with SPIRAM supporting firmware. I'm using the 2019-05-29, SPIRAM support build and flashing using esptool.py. The commands I used and their outputs: 1) Erasing the flash first python esptool.py --chip esp32 --port COM13 erase...

Re: Unable to read data from GPS using UART

Replying to this old thread in case you didn't find the answer or any likely problems. You initialise the rx buffer with size 250, and then call pyb.UART.readinto on that buffer 255 times. The documentation for the readinto states that if you specify a buffer only (and not a buffer and integer), it ...

Re: Matrix library for MicroPython

Just an aside, what are you using these 3x3 matrices for? At the moment I'm not actively using umatrix. Back when I needed it I wanted to handle RGB and later RGB-IR photosensor measurements for a particular application. I decided to write it because the alternative 350 ms were too costly for me. I...

Re: Matrix library for MicroPython

You seem to care a lot about time savings. Just wanted it to go as fast as possible :) Coding in C is going to give you the maximum time savings The part about adding your module to the firmware is clear, it's writing the library in C that seems daunting to me. As I've said before, I'm not proficie...

So using the native decorators with unchanged code may be the most effective improvement.
I just tried the inverse and __add__ functions with nothing different other than the micropython.native decorator and the time savings were about 0.1 ms for both, nothing monumental.

Re: Matrix library for MicroPython

Alas it isn't well documented. That's unfortunate. So far I'm trying to modify "inverse" to use Viper and I'm coming across a surprising error. My code: @micropython.viper @property def inverse(self): order = int(len(self.rows)) assert order == int(len(self.rows[0])), "Matrix must be square." if or...

I'll report back as soon as I've done this.
Are there any fleshed-out guides for writing code for the Viper emitter? I'm not at all familiar with it and so far I've just been firing in the dark and not getting anywhere.

Re: Matrix library for MicroPython

I'm considering merging umatrix_np into umatrix and changing the size method to shape (I'm not really a fan of the word shape in this scenario and was hanging on to prejudice, but if it's what's preferred I am flexible :) ). I decided to merge umatrix_np into umatrix. The new umatrix, v1.1, now sup...

Re: Matrix library for MicroPython

Write it in C and it’ll be much faster. Out of curiosity, what do you do with the C program once you've written it to make it work with MicroPython? I can actually program very simple things in C but don't have the same usage experience as with Python 3 and MicroPython and if this is accessible it ...
