micropython-lib VS awesome-micropython

This is the current version of my code (excuse the mess it's become..), adapted from https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/7128d423c2e7c0309ac17a1e6ba873b909b24fcc/micropython/bluetooth/aioble/examples/temp_client.py

STM32WB55 running MicroPython sounds like it'd suit. Should be fine for the power budget and aioble gives you one of the best BLE libraries on any platform. Documentation is generally good, though BLE is a little light (with some good examples and an active Discord channel!).

Pico (non-W) doesn't have upip (or mip, as that replaces upip now) or urequests because it doesn't have internet access required by them. In theory, you can download urequests from: https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/master/python-ecosys/urequests/urequests.py or build your own MP image with it enabled. I don't know if it'll work as you want it to but it's worth a try.

Using SD-card on ESP8266 was more challenging. upip.install('sdcard') does not work.

But ChatGPT truly helped and suggested I find it in Github.

I don't think there's a mip list command or something like that. So your best bet is to look at the subdirectories in https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib for a list of installable packages.

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.

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
