BBC micro:bit support #47

Open whaleygeek opened 8 years ago

whaleygeek commented 8 years ago

I'm pondering adding support for BBC micro:bit - basically adding a HRFM69 module as a back-pack to a micro:bit.

The microbit-DAL has a SPI class.

Could be a nice project to get school children engaged with real energy measurement and power control of science experiments in the classroom, perhaps.

MicroPython has an SPI abstraction that knits up to the DAL SPI driver, this might be the easiest way to get this to work, in a way that is accessible to most users.

I've had a few requests for this recently (note @jaustin I might consider doing this!)
