awesome-micropython VS fivebyfive

https://awesome-micropython.com lists a couple of MCP2515 drivers. I wrote my own but it's embedded in another library and uses asyncio so it wouldn't help you much. Or you could port one of the many Arduino drivers. It's really just reading and writing chip registers over SPI.

MicroPython has many libraries available. https://github.com/mcauser/awesome-micropython

Take a look at https://awesome-micropython.com/, there are several libraries for this sensor, maybe you'll find one that works for you.

MicroPython is based on Python 3.5 with some later functionality back-ported, e.g. async/await. The basic language functionality should be identical but you may struggle finding some 3rd party extensions. There's a list of 3rd party modules at awesome-micropython.com and the micropython-lib rep on GitHub.

I see that this library is listed on the MicroPython Awesome List. There are other MPU6050 libs listed there; I'd consider one of the others. I'll try and find time to raise a pull request to this library to tidy it up a little.

Arduino currently offer MicroPython firmwares for their Nano 33 BLE and BLE Sense, the Nano RP2040 Connect, and Portenta H7 board - so it is important to note that you're not about to be running MicroPython on an Arduino Uno - but given the range of available libraries for the language and the relative ease of learning, it is exciting to see even further adoption.

Hey, there's no library for device ____! — Have a look in Awesome MicroPython, the community-maintained directory of drivers. Unlike Arduino, MicroPython hasn't been around for decades, so there are some devices that don't have drivers yet.

Do give it another try if you get a chance; I'd be genuinely interested in hearing about your experience. Be sure to check out the awesome list and micropython-lib if you're looking to fill gaps. There are still many holes but they're rapidly being filled in.

From this list: https://github.com/mcauser/awesome-micropython it looks like there's a couple of nice libraries for button debouncing too: https://github.com/mcauser/awesome-micropython#gpio

I used my experience from the early months of the year, when I was really digging in and learning about the current state of MicroPython, to inform my talk - including some of the projects and discoveries from my DEV series. The video was published recently.

MicroPython has led me along a number of different paths - since it runs on a whole variety of different hardware. In February a tiny ESP32-C3-powered board covered in RGB LEDs caught the attention of the maker community, and I subsequently wrote a small blog series and created a project around it (fivebyfive on GitHub). It also highlighted a few learning opportunities around MicroPython on the ESP32-C3, which have been addressed in the current release. The worldwide chip shortage has meant that the RP2040 chips from the Raspberry Pi folks have been more available than some alternatives, so I've been playing with a lot of boards based on those, but until about a week ago, connectivity was more of an issue than with the Espressif chips!

Most recently, I’ve been learning about MicroPython.

In the previous post, I got everything working pretty nicely with the basics on the board - we had flashed a working MicroPython build, and had a simple piece of code that exercised the NeoPixel LEDs. Since writing that post, I also created a reference card (image above - there's a PDF, and the source GoodNotes file, on GitHub as well); and updated the code a little to add a test for the onboard status LED and programmable button.

Since the manufacturer's content is limited to a YouTube video, and the Arduino code, I've documented various experiments and findings on GitHub in a set of discovery notes.
