This was so kind. An exchange student who took both my #CircuitPython & my #SwiftUI apps courses made this for me. The flowers are 3D printed & the vase was laser cut. Lovely.

How to Re-initialize a Stuck #ESP32 (in #CircuitPython) -- something I needed when working on my particulate air quality #sensor but I'm sure I'll need it for many other projects:

How to Re-initialize a Stuck ESP32 (in CircuitPython) (Shallow Thoughts)

Whatisgoingon Apr 29

I am trying to get this TEA 5767 to work. This ESP32S3 does not have a onboard I2C so I read that I have to use 4.7kOhm resistors to create a pull-up.

The device is connected to 3.3v and the pins SCL,SDA are connected to 3.3V and the pins 4 and 5 on the board.

I use busio.I2C and can get a connection and lock on the I2C.

i2c.scan() does not find the 0x60 address but sometimes I get "'0x8', '0x9', '0xa', '0xb'"

[SOLVED]

SerialPlotster! I miss the #Arduino serial plotter when doing #CircuitPython / #MicroPython, but it's too greedy with the serial port. I wanted a tiny stand-alone data plotter app, so I built one (w/claude's help). It's pretty flexible on data input and fast to launch https://github.com/todbot/SerialPlotster
