Hi @rpimag, i wish you a happy #MakerMonday. I am late and I know that, but with a big mug of coffee all Problems can be solved. If you able to program a #RaspberryPi, PLC systems are not a big deal. #maker #programming #micropython #robotics
Hello #MakerMonday, it's time for #micropython. I built a giant colorful #legoeducation #RaspberryPi4 robot powered by the official @rpimag Build HAT. The battery pack is hidden under the platform. I am such a genius!

Are there any folks with vintage Mac programming experience who'd like to collaborate on figuring out what's next with Micropython on Mac?
I think that might be: What's the minimal set of APIs to do a fun graphical demo.
Pointers to "how to"-ish documentation in Pascal and C would be great as well, I have failed at finding this kind of stuff. (I do have Inside Macintosh but it is not a great tutorial)
oh my yay, it now works well enough to save and edit a file, then import and run that file.
you could basically use an old m68k mac as a python3 (well, micropython) development system now.
don't mind the debug messages, they're as scared of you as you are of them.
Whee! Now we can import files from the filesystem, as well as reading and writing files. Still haven't wrapped my head around how folders work, still can't enumerate files ..
as usual, work pushed to my micropython fork on github (which is called circuitpython, because you can't have two different forks of the "same" original project, argh).
Darn, I think all the easy parts of the micropython mac m68k port are done.
unfortunately, vfs_posix doesn't seem to be a good fit. I did manage to create a "file" but couldn't actually write data to it.
And while it was working in system6 I just tried it again with system7 and it's failing to start at all. boo.

Build updated at https://emergent.unpythonic.net/files/sandbox/micropython.dsk
Almost all of the "full features" support level of micropython are enabled, "mpz" for long integers and "float" for floating point numbers.
Backspace works in the repl. arrow keys don't.
A TODO section in the new README lists key items to work on:
Micropython on m68k mac? why not! It's reached the point of sorta working.

I've been mostly quiet (online) today but #OHS2025 has been excellent with a workshop on ceramics with #3dprinting with Allie Katz, and now a session on Ribbit Networks and building a sensor - also, some badge hacking with #micropython
#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!

I combined dicewords with PasswordMaker on this @adafruit PyPortal in order to generate random site-domain specific passwords. The Circuit Python script will regenerate the password provided I can remember those 6 randomly selected words. It also acts as a keyboard HID

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.
One of my new years plans was to be more productive during the weekends and time off.
Well - so far - Feb has given me the inspiration to turn the #Pimoroni #Presto screen into a #Spotify screen
Thanks to @gadgetoid and co fixing a bug in the beta firmware it is going well!
Raspberry Pi Pico MicroPython Beginner Workshop for total beginners — https://hacklab.to/archives/hacklab-to-intro-series-pico-workshop/
This Saturday.
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.
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
