BLE, was Re: MicroPython version 1.12 released

Any forks out there that support other stand alone BLE devices? The Murata module on the PYBD won't run off a 3V Lithium battery according to the Murata datasheet for the module.

The code should support any device that supports HCI over a UART (and I'm aware of people already doing this). You'll have to write a small amount of plumbing code (in C), although our goal is to maybe eventually make this possible in Python, i.e. something maybe like

Code: Select all

def setup_hci(uart, baud, ...):
  ...
  
ble = bluetooth.BLE(machine.UART(3), setup_hci)

Where do you get that from? It's exactly designed to run off LiPO with a Vbat range from 3.2V to 4.2V...

Actually there as a broad range of batteries, all with the word Lithium in the name. There are for instance non-rechargable 1.5 and 3V Lithium batteries, 3.6 V Li-SOCl2 batteries (expensive!) and Lithion-Ion accumulators with a nominal voltage of 3.6 or 3.7 V. The latter should work well with a PYBD.

The WBUS_DIP28 specifically provides for use with a rechargeable lithium ion cell and a Pyboard D on this adaptor works perfectly in this mode.

BTW, great work on V1.12!

I did not specify in my post that I was referring to 3V Primary batteries like CR123 type.

You can use any language you like and can master. MicroPython is very vivid and Python in general is known for it's low entrance barrier. If you know of a Rust port for ESP32/ESP8266, please tell so. Even if this is a MicroPython forum, people here are always interested in these topics and are open minded.

From an earlier post:

// I’ve started to program in micro python but it seems like it will be dead soon.

It would seem in active development here as well as a derivative on Adafruit called Circuit Python.

Why would it seem to be dead soon?
