[Microbit-Python] Sprint with MicroPython on ESP8266 and BBC microbits

[Nevil Hunt]

Hi Marc-Andre,


I've managed to get the micro:bit's I2C to drive various other devices such as some of the Adafruit backpack displays using micro python.

It took me a while to get the I2C syntax and commands right so it loaded the right byte in the right register.

I can send you some of my I2C display driver code to use as an I2C example if you like.

I also bought a Spark Fun Bus Pirate to help debugging the I2C.


Nevil

We'll probably be using one of the NodeMCU modules, since
they make it much easier to get started than the ESP
stand-alone devices.

As for connecting the ESP to the Microbits, we still have to
figure that one out. Perhaps we can use i2c for this.
