Bringing the bling 🌟 with MicroPython 🐍

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ESP32-C3FH4-RGB

  • The manufacturer software for the board is on GitHub, and works absolutely fine with the Arduino IDE. I'm using the new Arduino IDE 2.0, and one thing to note is that you also need the Espressif development release core for the ESP32-C3 board - these are relatively new within the family of chips.

  • thonny

    Python IDE for beginners

  • As an aside here, I'm using the Thonny editor to do the editing, but you could use VS Code, mu, or an alternative of your choice. Thonny lets me access the REPL easily, but I could do the same using one of several terminal tools.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • MicroPython

    MicroPython - a lean and efficient Python implementation for microcontrollers and constrained systems

  • Working with the MicroPython developers via Tweets and GitHub issues and commit comments, we eventually figured out the problem with the first pixel staying green. To fix this, I needed to add a specific call at the start of the MicroPython code:

  • mu

    A small, simple editor for beginner Python programmers. Written in Python and Qt5. (by mu-editor)

  • As an aside here, I'm using the Thonny editor to do the editing, but you could use VS Code, mu, or an alternative of your choice. Thonny lets me access the REPL easily, but I could do the same using one of several terminal tools.

  • fivebyfive

    Polyglot examples for the 01Space ESP32-C3FH4-RGB board

  • 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.

  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code

  • As an aside here, I'm using the Thonny editor to do the editing, but you could use VS Code, mu, or an alternative of your choice. Thonny lets me access the REPL easily, but I could do the same using one of several terminal tools.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
