[Microbit-Python] Introducing myself

[Nigel Kendrick]

Hi Nevil,

 

Thanks for the message. I've exchanged a few emails with the guys at
Kitronik too but just for general info. I have some audio projects
breadboarded right now and when the designs are finalised I'll publish the
student project notes, code, schematics and PCB layouts for anyone
interested. I'd be very happy to take a board off your hands and am looking
forward to contributing to the micro:bit ecosystem in general.

 

All the best

 

Nigel

Hi Nigel,
 
Welcome!
 
I see you work in the Data Storage business - I worked as a hardware
designer for Nexsan until the end of last year. I'm now doing micro:bit
related work, some of it in conjunction with the guys at Kitronik.
 
I am developing some add-on boards for the micro:bit. One of them is a
prototyping board which I've been using to make soldered prototypes of my
designs. I am getting a custom connector made so once I have a few more
connectors I was planning to offer to send a prototyping board to anyone on
this forum who wants one. If you'd like one then I'd be happy to send you
one.
 
Nevil

Hi Everyone,

I've just subscribed to the list and wanted to say 'Hi'.

I am a Support Engineer (enterprise disks, flash storage and object storage
systems) with HGST (Western Digital) working on a personal and voluntary
level as a STEM Ambassador. In a past role I was an electronics engineer
working on analogue, digital and mixed-signal systems.

With reference to the micro:bit, I have one via STEM Sussex with a brief to
become familiar with the design and use in order to support classroom
activities and other STEM ambassadors. Along the way, I am developing some
project ideas, hence the interest in the I/O and programming.

Anyhow, I am currently working on some audio/visual add-ons (workshop notes,
schematics and code to be open source) and am keen to link up with any
people or resources related to the micro:bit - especially hardware-related
stuff which seems to be a bit sparse and scattered around at the moment
(reading NRF chip specs over here, scouring the DAL..., whipping out the
logic analyser...!). Does anyone have a shareable schematic yet - especially
for the display matrix to save me some time in working it out!!??

Fun and games pics here for those interested: https://imgur.com/a/Rn6Cr

 

All the best

Nigel Kendrick
