Eee! 🥰 ok, forgive my excitement, but I haven't played with #micropython on a phone before and it is FUN!! Thanks so much @flow3rbadge #CCCamp23 crew! ✨🌈⚡💖⚡🌈✨ Who else has played with Micro REPL? Give me thoughts and stories!

Although most people point out that if that is possible, it would have happened in the sun every day, because the sun is colliding particles with very high energy. So we are pretty safe.

Chris:
And now I am going to stare at the sun, and worry all day long.

Elecia:
Only until your eyes burn out, then you will be fine.

Chris:
<laugh> Black holes in my eyes.

This week, Damien George spoke with Chris(@stoneymonster) and Elecia (@logicalelegance) about developing with and for @MicroPython while Elecia tried not to spill all the secrets about her client.

The transcript for that show is available now( https://embedded.fm/transcripts/2023/8/3/456-left-right-symmetry-of-a-banana )!
Feel free to read through and share your favorite quotes.

This week, Damien George spoke with us about developing with and for MicroPython while Elecia tried not to spill all the secrets about her client.

Here are some alternate show titles that were in the running:
- One Module To Rule Them All
- Scripting satellites

Which would you have gone for?

I'm tinkering with some MicroBits (v1) lately, having a lot of fun with them since I found out you can program them with Python.

But I run into a problem when I want to use them with a pair of AAA batteries. Batteries are fine, above 3.1 V anyway. I've checked + and -, all okay. But MicroBit doesn't do a thing...

Amy suggestions?

In case you wonder what mistakes #ChatGPT made in its #micropython code:
- It used the PWM syntax that works on another port/board
- It is confused about the PWM resolution (mentions a 10-bit resolution but still uses a syntax that goes with a 16-bit resolution)
- It fails at basic math and doesn't predict that (2^10)^2 would work with neither 10-bit nor 16-bit.
Interestingly, telling #ChatGPT that there are errors gets it to fix the first one.

Just tried to use #ChatGPT to prepare an #IoT workshop with #micropython and the #rp2040 #pipico and it's a bit of a mixed bag: The examples are really well explained... but they sometimes include mistakes... so I can imagine it could be frustrating for beginners.

For my next #IoT introduction workshop, I'm moving away from #Arduino (Uno board+IDE) towards #Micropython (with the #Thonny IDE)
– Some of the boards are really cheap (€4.50 for a Pi Pico, €6.00 for an ESP32 with WiFi), even cheaper than a breadboard!
– The REPL/shell is a great teaching tool to just light up a LED with 3 lines of code in an interactive way.
– It's easy to preload the board with exactly the examples I want to show in class.

A simple web-server boilerplate. It supports logging, and server-side rendering. It has written in #MicroPython for #PicoW.

Using #PyCharm and the #JetBrains #Micropython plugin.

Very fast for writing the code, and very few serial lockups. (much better then the other uPython IDE's Ive tried.

Solar Battery Supply Controller development.

Designed for a small solar system to power an external device 24/7 from either batteries or mains. Keeping the device on batteries as long as possible to get the most out of the sun.

Works with an external inverter and solar. Charger. Logging/external/net control to follow.

Bench testing look OK , on to power testing.
