The BME68X library is *linked* against the MicroPython bindings, rather than compiled directly in.
This saves specifing the list of target files twice.
This changeset brings the BOSCH BME68X Sensor API library in as a submodule and makes it buildable with CMake.
A thin wrapper- the BME68X driver- provides simple init, configure, read_forced and read_parallel functions.
Two BME688 examples are available for forced-mode and parallel-mode operation.
Add a pimoroni.py module which includes Python code equivilents of the RGBLED and Button C++ drivers.
This is simpler than binding these drivers into MicroPython and much easier to maintain/extend.
"RGBLED" PWMs 3 pins as a single RGB LED and exposes methods to set the colour via HSV/RGB.
"Button" handles tracking the state and changed state of a single GPIO button, in addition to supporting auto-repeat for held-down buttons.
* Bump MicroPython from v1.15 to v1.16
* Bump Blinka from 6.10.1 to 6.10.2
* Bump PlatformDetect from 3.13.3 to 3.14.1
* Revert backport patch/hotfix for lwip submodule
Part of the fix for the Pico Boilerplate breakage mentioned in pimoroni/pico-boilerplate#8
This file is included here for posterity and because it's existence is used to validate PIMORONI_PICO_PATH
As discussed on https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/pico-wireless-pack-fetching-data-from-web/17215/ the cheerlights.py example was stalling on the first HTTP request.
I have added a timeout in this case, so the code will stop waiting and retry after the 60second polling wait period. Users report this does the trick!
The switch to common I2C and common definitions for SPI had broken an edge case in Pico Explorer where no backlight pin is used.
The backlight pin was inadvertently set to the front Breakout Garden SPI slot default, which is pin 20- this also happens to be the I2C SDA pin for Pico Explorer, breaking I2C comms.
This fix adds a new special case board "PICO_EXPLORER_ONBOARD" so that ST7789 can be initialised without the backlight pin.
This will be useful for anyone using ST7789 without the rest of the Pico Explorer library, although it feels a little contrived.
Also switches ST7735 over to the common defines.
Rewrites the cursed Pico RGB Keypad code so that it can't hurt anyone else.
Turns out the whole loop could have been a bitwise operator.
The true lesson was the people we met along the way.
This change is specifically intended to avoid a pitfall in MicroPython and will likely have no effect in C++.
When using the REPL in MicroPython it's possible to set up an I2C instance on two pins - ie: 20, 21 - and then subsequently realise these are the wrong pins for your board.
Before this change, these pins would be left hanging even if you created a new I2C instance with new pins - ie: 4, 5 - this would lead to communications failures where they really shouldn't happen. Confusing!
This change appends the list dir and project root dir to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH so that it doesn't need prepended to each "include" directive.
All .mk files have been deleted, since these are completely redundant.
This new workflow will build a separate release of MicroPython that includes Blinka and PlatformDetect for compatibility with Adafruit CircuitPython .py libraries.
