Success. I got my two #CANPico boards to communicate with each other using #MicroPython. The logic analyzer was able to pick up the data from the wire. Thanks, @kentindell for an awesome framework. Next up: hooking everything up to a Toyota Camry.
I upgraded my #childhood#lego#train to use #Pybricks#MicroPython. It stops at train stations now. No rail loops required. The passengers are happy about this --- considering they've been asleep like that for about 20 years...
Watch out, I'm a hardware designer now! My first board is here and it works!
Super happy with the "ambient light" effect:) There's one LED shining at the back into the hand, and another behind the screen, giving the impression of light passing through the PCB. Quite mesmerizing.
I still need to put side LEDs on (one for each of the touch pads), but those tiny SK6812-4020 turned out to be way beyond my amazing soldering skills 😅
I may have spent more of today than I'll admit in creating tiny beepy things with #MicroPython that chirp in accordance with Dolbear's “law” of cricket chirp rate vs temperature
A bucket of chirping Raspberry Pi Pico “crickets”. Each of them chirp at a slightly different pitch, and their chirp speed is controlled by the internal temperature sensor according to a formula observed by Amos Dolbear in 1897 #RaspberryPi #futile #crickets #entomology #electronics #annoying#MicroPython
What's the easiest camera module to interface to the #raspberrypi#pico that you can get access to the image from #micropython or #circuitpython with?
the #usefulsensors#tinycodereader is great for normal qrcodes but working on decoding rMQRs and usefulsensors said they have no plans for a new rMQR decoding module or different firmware to do that so going to need to roll my own solution
#MicroPython in the browser with #WASM is such an exciting possibility.
Catching up with what's been going on in PyScript over the last ~year and delighted to see that their MicroPython tech demo has worked its way into the core.
These are some profiles of one of their official demonstrators that runs both MicroPython and Pyodide in the same webpage (although Pyodide is given more work to do). Excluding network time, time to load MicroPython is <10 msec, and Pyodide is ~8000 msec 🤯
@evan one of the things I loved about early Twitter was the connected things - plants, ferries, etc. @andysc had a concept of "blogjects" -> "tweetjects" back then. ActivityPub absolutely can be another network where these things could be useful.
From a pure AP standpoint, it would be interesting to think about how to implement (say) ActivityPub C2S from something like Arduino or #micropython on a small device, or indeed from @nodered as a concentrator of sensor data.
The computerized Necchi Supernova is #sewing! I couldn't call it any further along than version 0.1 or so, but I'm excited to see a proof of concept nevertheless. Next up, writing better firmware rather than a #micropython prototype. #electronics
