Testing sound on my custom built board. A bit quite but otherwise working nicely 🔉. I discovered #i2s is built into #micropython! Made for fast progress. The board is destined to become a handheld game console. #electronics #rp2350

"Hmm, this is using a whole 6 kilobytes - that won't do; I'll try to shrink it."
Working within very tight memory constraints isn't exactly unfamiliar to me, but it is something I'd somewhat forgotten about. And it's actually quite fun. :)

Wow!
A request came in to our cool #MicroPython DNS server from some host at address 192.168.1.40, port 17271!
🤣
(wept with joy all night long)

TFW you get a package from AliExpress containing some random crap you ordered -who knows when or why.🤣
Hmm... it looks like an ESP32-C3 RISC-V, 160 MHz, 400 KB RAM, 384 KB ROM, 4 MB flash.
Hmm... I might be able to cram #MicroPython onto it and play with the display and Wi-Fi

This week, Les has built a Blinky 2350 Badgeware app to track how many YouTube subscribers he has. Using Blinky 2350's 872 brilliant white LEDs, the YouTube API and some #MicroPython, the hourly updated total keeps him up to date with his subscriber count.

#micropython
I added incremental garbage collection for Micropython, it eliminates stop-the-world GC collection which is one of the disadvantages of using MicroPython. No more GC headaches!
It can keep high FPS in graphics applications with massive data allocations.

- ATB expanded to 4bit
- GC skips scanning for 'data' type such as bytearray
- GC can run partially in background, for scan and sweep.
- ESP32 and unix port are available, easy to port to otherboards.

Happy belated #MakerMonday to all. This weekend was the final touch of the v1.0.0 of my #Tufty2040 monitor, powered by @pimoroni and #MicroPython, with automatic port detection on its host 🎉

I've made it really easy to compile your #MicroPython into the .mpy format; just right click.

I've been working on improving the #MicroPython (and #CircuitPython) Firmware flasher in Snakie; now lets you pick the board from a catalog of nearly 240 boards.
