It's freebie Friday!!
I've updated my #MicroPython LCD driver for BEAPER Nano and BEAPER Pico with my new font file, and created a bar-graph module that lets you create solid or segmented bars, with or without borders! Find all the files in the BEAPER Nano and BEAPER Pico LCD repositories: https://github.com/mirobotech
I've been working on a simple font that I can build into a #MicroPython LCD driver to make it super easy for beginners to use! π€©
Here's a view of all of the glyphs, and a second pic of the font doing work in a bar graph module I'm working on for BEAPER Pico and BEAPER Nano. π
FUCKING FINALLY!
Been banging my head for about a week on this.
Solved with MicroPython, for now...

New video dropping at 7pm GMT today,
How to add Speech to your #Micropython (or #circuitpython) projects on #RaspberryPi Pico.
I also make a plant talk and a pico sing. Not to be missed!
25yo got a programmable rgb array and is writing #micropython programs to display #uspol #dataviz. Those are mildly interesting, but I don't know why anyone cares about polls after 2016, let alone 2024.
The interesting thing is the first contact with #embedded #software
The first Real Problem is an intermittent out-of-memory condition that happens on the House, but not the Senate. (obvs more people, but both loop endlessly so it's not that simple.)
I'm walking thru how to find the leak, but socratically. Like "hmmmm.....I wonder what objects get created in each iteration?" and "If only there were some means of printing the mem usage."
SparkFun Thing Plus β ESP32-C5 board offers dual-band WiFi 6, Adafruit Feather pinout, LiPo battery support
Espressif has recently released the ESP-IDF v6.0 framework with support for ESP32-C5 and ESP32-C61, so we can expect more ESP32-C5 boards. Following the launch of boards like DFRobot FireBeetle 2 and the Espressif DevKitC-1, SparkFun has now launched its Thing Plus - ESP32-C5, an Adafruit Feather-compatible board based on the ESP32-C5. The timing is no coincidence. Although the ESP32-C5 dual-band WiFi 6 SoC was announced back in 2022, hardware makers have been waiting for stable software support. With the release of ESP-IDF v6.0, the ESP32-C5 moves from βpreviewβ to βstableβ and adds key features, such as Safe Bootloader OTA updates. This enables the ROM bootloader to fall back to a recovery partition if an update fails, making it reliable enough for companies like SparkFun to launch hardware for remote deployments and Matter-compatible smart home applications.

I've ported the Software Automatic Mouth (SAM) speech synthesis to the #Raspberry Pi Pico and #MicroPython - it uses Programmable IO as well. No fancy components or hardware required, just an 8ohm speaker on a GPIO pin and GND. It can even sing!
