MicroPython pyboard v1.1

Post by BigWill » Wed Feb 24, 2021 1:01 am

I would like to get started with MicroPython programming and from what I've been reading is that the pyboard v1.1 is a good choice. However, this site has no stock. Can anyone tell me a good board to use and where to get it with documentation?

The Adafruit STM32F405 Express: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4382 has the same processor and there is a board definition for it in MicroPython. Use:

Code: Select all

make BOARD=ADAFRUIT_F405_EXPRESS
Since the Adafruit comes with firmware pre-flashed, I recommend doing a mass-erase. You can use pydfu.py -m to do that.

The MicroPython Store has in stock :
- Pyboard Lite v1.0 :
https://store.micropython.org/category/pyboards
which is similar to Pyboard v1.1, but slower, less RAM, etc :
https://store.micropython.org/pyb-features
- Pyboard D SF2 (newer, with WiFi & Bluetooth) :
https://store.micropython.org/product/PYBD-SF2-W4F2

These (Pyboard v1.1/Lite v1.0/D SF2/3/6) are the most stable MicroPython ports.
My "MicroPython Samples". My "MicroPython Firmwares" with many options (double precision, ulab, etc).
