I can do this in a Rpi Zero W?

Post by 9acca9 » Sat May 28, 2022 5:18 pm

So... What is this? I have a two python files I need to run at the boot on a RPI zero w. Those files call i2c components. A multiplexor, 4 mcp, 1 htk1633 for LEDs and a LCD display. (And I need wifi)

Can I use micro python to make that work? What is the advantage of micro python. I don't get it. The python file will run without operative system, so will be boot super quickly?

I can "enable" this at config.txt or will get troubles?
dtoverlay=i2c-mux,pca9548

Thanks.

I don't think that the bare-metal MicroPython port to the Raspberry Pi Zero
  1. supports all/any of the hardware features you need;
  2. has been maintained in a while.
Raspberry Pi OS Lite should do all you need, even if its boot time is longer than a bare metal OS. Raspberry Pi Forums is the place to get help with that.
