Subject: [Microbit-Python] Programming micro:bit with Thonny IDE
Message-ID: <CAKFq39tiSAqbNwqkYRhNgemkytxNh-NmHLpmXSB4WP60Hgr5rg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I am developing a plug-in for Thonny IDE which allows to program micro:bit
in MicroPython.
One of the plug-in's key features is that it allows to quickly execute
written scripts on micro:bit without flashing. If user is happy with the
result, then the written script can be flashed on micro:bit.

If you are curious and like to try it out then please check out the links
below.
More info about Thonny IDE: http://thonny.org/
More info about Thonny micro:bit plug-in:
https://bitbucket.org/KauriRaba/thonny-microbit

I am open to all the suggestions and ideas which help me to make this
plug-in better.
Also don't be afraid to report found bugs, that helps me alot! ;)
Please leave suggestions and bug reports here:
https://bitbucket.org/KauriRaba/thonny-microbit/issues/new

All the best,

Kauri

Subject: [Microbit-Python] Missing attributes with MicroBitImage object
Message-ID: <608f4439-972c-83d3-88e8-dc576761cafc@web.de>

Hi all,

I just started 3 days ago working with my brand-new *micro:bit* device. 
I'm new on this mailing list and up to now I couldn't find a better 
place to discuss the unavoidable initial pitfalls. Maybe I can find help 
here for some trivia. Even if not, a hint whom to address would be 
appreciated.

While *ReadTheDocs* announces a nice set of attributes for MicroBitImage 
objects, I found two of them not being implemented, namely *fill()* and 
*blit(). *These two attributes cause the following error message:

AttributeError: 'MicroBitImage' object has no attribute 
'/missing-attribute/'

MicroPython v1.7-9-gbe020eb on 2016-04-18; micro:bit with nRF51822

Maybe this is a version problem? But my MicroPython development system 
seems to be up-to-date: *mu-0.9.13.linux*. Or could it be a firmware 
version problem with the micro:bit? Looks also up-to-date:

     Daplink Mode: Interface
     Interface Version: *0241*
     Git SHA: fa4132987102c51c110751d8bdb8a74aeb7b071b

Any idea what went wrong?

Regards and thanks in advance

Ludwig.

P.S.: The host computer runs under Linux Mint 17 (64 bit) with KDE desktop.

Hi Ludwig,

fill and blit were added to the firmware in December/January --
https://github.com/bbcmicrobit/micropython/commits/master/source/microbit/microbitimage.cpp

Looks like you do have the latest released Mu, but 0.9.3 was released
before the fill/blit changes  (mid December).

If you're keen to get this working before the next Mu/uFlash release,
you can build a firmware image yourself, then update your local copy
of Mu or uFlash to use it. See instructions at
https://github.com/bbcmicrobit/micropython   When using uFlash
directly, you can use the -r option to point to your newly built hex
file. Off the top of my head I'm not sure if Mu has a corresponding
argument, I've always just updated the contents of the hex file in
contrib/uflash.py manually.

Jim

Hi Jim,

thanks a lot for the advice. This was exactly what I needed.

Should be able now to crack the nut.

Ludwig.
