Hello, Fediverse. I'm looking for embedded experts to help save #LEGO MINDSTORMS!

Background: https://pybricks.com/project/saving-lego-mindstorms/

Help: https://github.com/pybricks/support/issues?q=label%3A%22help%20wanted%22%20label%3A%22platform%3A%20EV3%22

I've made major progress, but I'd love to get some help! If writing an SPI flash driver or USB device implementation is your thing, I would love to hear from you 😀

I'll gladly donate an EV3 set for this. We can do this as a paid project too if that's a better fit. Let's discuss!

@laurensvalk I just shared your message with a short announcement at the MicroPython Meetup (that was in progress when you posted!).

@matt_trentini Right on time. Thank you so much!

@matt_trentini The post ran out of characters to mention #micropython, but it's certainly included! (In fact, that part is already done. There is a USB REPL, just no storage 😀)

@matt_trentini @laurensvalk good timing! I can maybe help out, I'll see if anyone around here already has a dusty ev3 in the back of a cupboard.

@laurensvalk very good project. I have an EV3 but am very short on free time

@pepijndevos We'll try to complete it on your behalf 😀 It's exciting to see we're getting some code contributions already.
