MicroPython Forum (Archive)

Good day,
I've got a pair of ISM330DHC sensors from adafruit that I would really like to use with my pyboard - d. I'm trying to find any right up that goes into installing circuitpython on the pyboard -d . I've downloaded the .bin file but finding out how to get that on the pyboard has been an exercise in frustration.

I don't mind digging into the details, it's just not clear where I would find the details I require. Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

do they have a CircuitPython firmware for the Pyboard-D? I didn't see one that would work.
Probably best to ask on the Adafruit CircuitPython and MicroPython forum

It should be not that hard to port the driver for PyBoard D. Typically it's only the communication part which needs to be changed.

Which bin file is that? I don't think CircuitPython provides firmware for the pyboard-d (only the pyboard 1.1).

The general process is that you'll need to find a similar STM32F7-based board that CircuitPython does support and then update it to match the pyboard-d specifics.

Supporting WiFi is going to be much harder though as you'll need to adapt the driver from MicroPython.

It might be easier to just port your device driver to micropython.

That would definitely be my approach. Or use one of the many IMU's which already have MicroPython drivers.
