I finally got the software installed (updating to circuit python removed my #Adafruit specific libraries, had to find those and reinstall on the #PyPortal)

Then after I got everything wired up I definitely had to cut a trace and solder a couple of pads to get it to work at 3.3v (a massive pain in the ass, the #PyPortal should come with the i2c port at 3.3v if it’s not even going to boot if you connect a device to it at 5v)

Today I fought with software for the #PyPortal. (The pyportal is the brains behind the reflow oven that I’m in the middle of making)

The #EZMakeOven page says use the latest version of circuit python. When I wiped the board and installed the latest 8.x, then installed the EZ Make oven software package, it was missing some libraries that it needed.

I eventually found an #adafruit circuit python GitHub repo, and installed that. Now, it finally works… er, well it doesn’t

Made progress on the MVP for my IoT Logger running on a PyPortal. I’m basing this thing on what I’ve learned from the excellent Adafruit tutorials.

This thing will eventually have more sensors and the GUI will allow you to start/stop the device, and it will also show a graph of the data.

The data itself is uploaded to AdafruitIO where I can see the feed data in dashboards, etc.

And yes, I will put the code on GitHub once it’s a bit cleaner 🤓 #Adafruit #PyPortal #CircuitPython #IoT

Have been playing with one of my PyPortal devices and built a simple data logger following a tutorial on Adafruit. It works! Now it’s time to tweak and play and make it do other stuff 🤓 #Adafruit #PyPortal #data #IoT
