[NOT AN ISSUE] How to convert this to a micropython module?

[athusrv]

First of all, thanks for your code. It's been hard to find some code over the internet that can generate QR codes.

I'm new to micropython and I don't know how to turn this into a micropython module. Could you please update your README with that instructions or maybe give me some idea on how I can achieve that?

Thank you!

Hi athusrv, use link below to understand how to add user c module right into micropython binary https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/develop/cmodules.html

After that clone this repo on your c module directory and add micropython.mk file inside mpy-qr folder with following content: UQR_MOD_DIR := $(USERMOD_DIR) SRC_USERMOD += $(addprefix $(UQR_MOD_DIR)/, \ moduqr.c \ ) CFLAGS_USERMOD += -I$(UQR_MOD_DIR) -DMODULE_UQR_ENABLED=1

after that follow micropython docs to build and and flash custom build.

Note: you might get compilation error about re-declared variables. Just find those variables in code and replace them with something else.

I think the above still works, but just now I've pushed some changes that include a micropython.mk which is what you need to just "drop in" this code as a USER_C_MODULES of your mpy build.

Hi - I am getting an error - any clues on what I am doing wrong ?

Confirmed it works with 1.13 source base. But for 1.17 they changed those makefiles to Cmake. So I think it need some changes for that. If you know out-of-box how, it would be easier than again developing wheel.

Well it was not so hard...

Hi, I've tried to build this for stm32 and nrf port but I was getting same undefined reference error as @bmsleight. After digging a bit in micropython py/malloc.c it turns out that free and malloc are undefined and replaced by m_free and m_malloc. https://github.com/micropython/micropython/blob/8af9dbbde1fca07371aa13a8276c8e764edac28c/py/malloc.c#L56 So after replacing free and malloc both stm32 and nrf ports builds work. I've done a bit of testing and so far module uqr works great in both. I've not tried to build esp32 port with these changes but I expect it to work too. I will test it ASAP and confirm. 👍🏼 Here is the PR: #3

[UPDATE]: Just tested esp32 port and it works too. 🎉
