crickit for microbit #8

Closed ladyada closed 6 years ago

ladyada commented 6 years ago

@pelikhan i have the crickit:bit ready for testing, works great in arduino, time to test in makecode - how can we enable this pkg for 'bits?

pelikhan commented 6 years ago

Let me do some investigation to see the gaps with the micro:bit API set.

pelikhan commented 6 years ago

Ok there's a bunch of API that we need to port to make this work. It's probably going to take a week.

ladyada commented 6 years ago

! ok for some reason i thought the underlying stuff was all identical. shows what i know :D i will await further command

The micro:bit editor is still currently on a v0 branch of PXT (without floating point and stuff) so it has evolved quite differently from the Adafruit branch. I don't think there's anything major that's blocking but I need to make sure we've gotten the same abstractions in place on both side (like I2cDevice, Math.map are missing). I am probably make the change in the v1 branch of micro:bit then backport this to v0 later on.

oooh ok. the more you know! :)

pelikhan commented 6 years ago

So part one is done: seesaw for microbit -- https://github.com/adafruit/pxt-seesaw/pull/10

Sharing code for crickit is going to be a bit more challenging as the block integration is signifantly different.

ladyada commented 6 years ago

ok thank you! i was planning on making a feather-to-microbit adapter and that would let people use the vast # of feathers we've got...but again the code is in python. would we have to go thru the same process to post-adapt pyconv code?

pelikhan commented 6 years ago

Yes the pyconv converter gives a good headstart.

iz done and tested/doc'd
