Stewart RussellHey, there are *two* #MicroPython capable dev boards in the #oshwa24 swag bag!
- Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect
- Soldered InkPlate 2 (ESP32 / colour e-paper screen)
I am having *some difficulty* getting #MicroPython running on the #Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect (I can flash the image, but no REPL appears), but the InkPlate works like a champ: first time I've ever got an e-paper display to work with MicroPython
Incident Creator ❎@scruss InkPlate 2? Hmmmmm...
(Discovered ESPhome and everything looks like an appliance!)
@vik I don't stray far from MicroPython these days
@scruss Just out of interest, would it be hard to port the Quirkey Accessibility Keyboard code from #CircuitPython to #MicroPython? https://github.com/VikOlliver/Quirkey
@vik wait until MicroPython 1.23. It will have high-level USB device support on rp2 and samd. Right now, the low-level support in 1.22 would be ugly to port.
Not sure I have the bandwidth for this, tho.
Russell Davis@scruss swag bag looked good this year. almost as good as in the olden days (2010,11,12,...)
@scruss how much was the particle gift card for?
@ukscone haven't checked. I like Particle's stuff, just their fancy cell-connected boards would be (actually are, I know from experience) prohibitively expensive to run in Canada. Not their fault.
Also, I don't think their boards run MicroPython, so ...
Andy Piper@andypiper it was pretty local to me, true. It was fun and the venues were great.
