Hi, I'm Dominique from Belgium where I'm working for MCHobby.be

I'm MicroPython addicted, oriented toward knowledge sharing and open-source minded.

About MicroPython

MicroPython (Python for MicroControler) is an awesome development environment for microcontroleur.
However it needs drivers to support sensors and breakouts. If individuals can develop and publish MicroPython driver on PyPi, this approach has several leaks:

  1. it relies on the individuals for code maintenance (driver is often developed for single shot testing and then not maintained)
  2. drivers are spread over the Internet,
  3. drivers miss for minimal documentation & wiring.

What I'm doing

I'm trying to builld a collection of sensor & breakout drivers for MicroPython which are:

  • Maintained,
  • Properly documented with schematic,
  • Tested,
  • Having example scripts
  • and BEING PLATEFORM AGNOSTIC , so relying on the common MicroPython API aka the machine module.

The target

The repository is made to be self-sufficient, no need for external wiki or online documentation... everying is inside the repository! Clone it and you have micropython library (the driver)+wiring+example+doc .

To reach this target, I'm porting code from Arduino, backport code from CircuitPython, sometime reuse or adapt existing MicroPython code and write additional documentation.

Recently I decided to support both french (native langage) and english for writing the minimal documentation.

So I'm doing my best. I hope you enjoy it.

@mchobby

Reaching this goal means that you find my MicroPython developement and driver portage is useful for the community. That would be a great reward from github user.

Don't have lot money but wants highlight the efforts in sharing free-source code to the community ?
Saying that's "the right direction" and development should continue like that ?
Cool. Don't hesitate to support me.

The work done is very cool and should continue that way.
Give a boost to the author for buying device/breakout for additionnal new development.

Want more examples, more schematics or more drivers? Great, me too.
Give a nice boost to author for buying device/breakout or additionnal development.
It is the right moment to make a suggestion for a new driver or advanced testing/support of an existing driver ;-)
I would be happy to support you too

You would like to actively support the development of software/drivers and/or attached documentation.
Don't hesitate to share suggestion, with this awesome donation many things would become possible in the future. That would definitively help for maintenance. Thanks!

You are an individual, a company, and would like to support the development in a serious matter.
YOU ARE WELCOME.
This will helps to support more products, more breakouts boards in a wider way. Focusing on product lines becomes possible. Do not hesitate to share your development request, I would be happy to support it at the best.
Definitvely, it is a step toward moving from free-time coding to sponsorised time coding.

Would like to focus the development / support for given product line or area of interest?
Everything could interest me from technical perspective.
If that work could benefit to the community then I'm open to support it.
Let's have a look to it and move forward to include it within the project.
