#17050 was just merged - which means that #MicroPython now has a new port for the super interesting Alif Ensemble microcontrollers!

Thanks to OpenMV and Damien at MicroPython for the great work to pull this together!

Python Torino riprende il 9 aprile alle 18:30 presso Toolbox Coworking con “Oh my Board, I Shrunk Python!” ️

In collaborazione con Arduino, si scoprirà come usare la versione ridotta di Python, chiamata MicroPython, per programmare i propri robot

RT1010Py is running MicroPython on Cortex M7 @ 500Mhz and now tanks to Robert Hammelrath got usbtinyuf2 bootloader so you can update you MicroPython firmwares with simple drag and drop like on PICO https://olimex.wordpress.com/2025/04/03/rt1010py-the-micropython-board-running-at-500mhz-now-got-tinyuf2-bootloader-so-you-can-drag-and-drop-your-micropython-firmware-same-way-as-you-do-on-raspberry-pico/ #micropython #nxp #usb

After running a #robotics workshop in a local makerspace I've donated a #StoRPer kit and set up one of their laptops so that people can go back in the open maker nights and tinker more! #robot #opensource #micropython

**TOP SECRET PLANS -- DO NOT LEAK**

Mission: Disrupt beginner electronics education

1. Make simple circuits.
2. Let users choose features and components.
3. Target #Arduino C and #Micropython w/ similar learning materials, shared #robot designs.

New #robot family portrait just dropped!

ARPS-2 and BEAPER Nano are excited to welcome their new sibling, BEAPER Pico!

These three are designed to make it easy for beginners to learn #microcontroller #programming and to build simple robots using #Arduino UNO, Arduino Nano ESP32, and #RaspberryPiPico – find out more about BEAPER Pico here: https://lectronz.com/products/beaper-pico

Behold, the groundbreaking revolution in #audio technology: a Raspberry Pi #Pico audio player that *almost* sounds good enough for your grandma's attic. If mediocre sound is what you're after, rejoice! But don't worry, the programming is in #MicroPython, so you'll be up and running in just a few weeks... or months.

Pretty happy with my badger2040 now.

The buttons dont do anything yet, i just wanted to get something simple done for now.

Here's the repository: https://codeberg.org/akselmo/badger2040-conbadge

The artwork is originally by Fefairy: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59975526// . I just edited it to be black and white with dithering.

Just published two blog posts about #micropython on #zephyr. I needed small patches to get it to run with latest and greatest Zephyr, but apart from that, things work pretty smooth. I can even use either SD cards or internal flash to store the Python scripts

I am not sure how to get the changes into MicroPyhton upstream, as I do not see how to specialize the code with respect to the target Zephyr version. Any thoughts?

I realized that light strip I installed some time ago used an ESP8266 microcontroller, so instead of buying and waiting for a new Raspberry Pi for a project, I tried to use that instead. I got MicroPython running on it, and wow, this thing is cool! I was able to connect to the internet, and even run a server on it. Using the GPIO pins to control an LED was simple. Setting up a button was slightly more work since there wasn't a helper class, but fairly easy in the end.

Is anyone trying out the #pimoroni #presto? Mine should be waiting when I get back from holiday. #MicroPython-ready. Could be fun! https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/presto?variant=54894104019323

LEGO MINDSTORMS was discontinued. End of story, right? Well, not so fast. We can fix this together. And you can help!

Instead of chasing the latest gadgets and trends, let's see what we can do with the hundreds of thousands of excellent robots that are already out there. Saving the planet, one programmable brick at a time.

The new RaspberryPi PICO2 W with RP2350 Dual Core ARM and Dual Core RISC-V WiFi and Bluetooth 5.2 is now in stock and you can order the standard version or one with soldered header on it https://olimex.wordpress.com/2024/12/19/raspberry-pi-rp2350-pico2-w-with-wifi-and-bluetooth-5-2-in-stock/ #raspberrypi #riscv #micropython #pico2w #rp2350

A bit sad to see the announcement of Mu being retired, but this feels like a strong way to go about it. #micropython #python https://madewith.mu/mu/users/2024/12/10/retirement-plans.html
