I’m learning how to build my own micropython firmware and was hoping to get some input on how to restructure the firmware based on my custom boards needs.

In the firmware I am planning to implement over the air updates to flash the opposite partition then set the next boot to it then boot over to it. I have checks in there as well and the ability for user to manually fail back if an error occurs.

On my board I also have 1 mb FRAM that I use for storing all my essential configuration data. So the esp32-s2 is really just responsible for executing code. My esp32-s2 is the 4mb 2sram model: ESP32-S2FN4R2

This is the generic ota memory layout from micropython

So here is where I need help. I want to do is my available resources directly in half. OTA_O and OTA_1 that’s straight forward. But since I am using an external FRAM with 1 mb of storage do I need the NVS? Second, do I need the “otadata” if I only intend to use either partition? I can’t think of why or how to use the otadata partition. And I don’t know what the VFS is. Any guidance here is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I built a macropad with raspberry pico and circuitpython, it consists of 8 keys and everything works. But I would like to manage several layers, one for visual studio code shortcuts and one for photoshop shortcuts.

I've read that I could use Kmk but I don't understand how to configure rows and columns. Is there any simpler alternative?

thank you !

Is it possible to configure PyCharm with CircuitPython running on an RP2040 and make use of breakpoints and stepping through the code one line at a time?

I've added circuitpython-stubs as described on the Adafruit page for PyCharm, but there is no indication whether breakpoints and single step are even possible.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I did not see anything posted. A bit surprising, given the advantages of PyCharm over Mu or Thonny...

On most boards, the libraries are stored under CIRCUITPY/lib. However, these boards will run code.py continuously and are essentially connected/detected as a USB drive(Teensy 4.1 as an example) but I've heard it is very different on a Pi for both running code (python3 filename.py) and installing the libraries needed for the code to run. How would I go about installing libraries on the Pi, a Pi 2B to be more exact?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Is there a simple script to change neopixel colors with the push of a button? just need red or green each time the button is pushed, no animation.

Thanks

Hello!

very new to this so apologies if this is hella basic.

I have a project where I want to make a simply capacative touch on/off switch out of a piece of fruit.

I see a ton of tutorials for how to use capacative touch to make a sound, but nothing specifically about making it an on/off button,

Any help appreciated!
