There are discussions about machine.Encoder and machine.Counter classes in github. These are implemented in C. I would like to give a python variant a trial and would like to add it as a frozen class to the machine module so my versions are compatible with the ones from the existing PR's.

Is that possible at all? Can one mix python and C in the same module? If yes, how? Simply adding machine/Encoder.py to port/esp32/modules does not work.

Hello,

If I understand your need accordingly, I think Damien is cooking something up:

Thanks for the response. But ... no, I don't think this is what I am searching for. I don't have a problem including my code into the firmware. This already works.

I can add This will be converted into MPY and included into the firmware. This can then be used like But the documentation of the Counter and Encoder classes requires them to be part of the machine module. So I'd like to add That also compiles successfully. But won't work. Probably because I cannot simply add something to the internal machine module. The question is: How do I add python code to a built-in native module? Is this possible at all?
