KivyMD has a good selection of Material Design compliant widgets for Kivy. It does for Kivy what MUI does for React.

Kivy gives you a pretty good separation of logic and UI with its declarative yaml-like kv files. For me, it conceptually feels a lot like developing in React.

I've made React applications using Python via Transcrypt, but wrap component functions in a Python decorator that make direct calls to React.createElement() instead of using JSX (e…

This is the only live one I manage to tune into on a regular basis.

That's been my experience too. I wish the MicroPython plugin for PyCharm was as good as what Thonny offers.

I've had the best experience with Thonny working with MicroPython. I'm amazed at how seamless updating files and even flashing MicroPython on devices like the ESP8266 and Pico is. …

Is this related to the IDOM project? It seems similar in concept. https://idom-docs.herokuapp.com/docs/index.html

I used GWT a long time ago and it was great for being able to write a complex algorithm that had to run on the server as well as in the browser. It saved a lot of time and trouble,…

The ugliness is something I struggled with a bit when I was first using Transcrypt to create React applications with Python. Even though that approach is more of a 1-to-1 Python-to…

Same thing happened to me. I got to a point where I had to conclude that the issues with the CEO was not something I could fix and I had to walk away knowing that I'd likely lose e…

I agree. I've been using Transcrypt to create React applications using Python. It allows you to take advantage of existing JS libraries and bundlers but still code in Python. I hav…

It sounded like the purchase of the 5 Pi400s ended up being covered by the library system, but the guy teaching still provided his time and curriculum. I'd imagine getting budget a…

For a lucky few, there are a some Micro Center brick & mortar stores around that have a surprisingly up-to-date and diverse selection of electronic components and tools stocked. Th…

I know CP has it's own internal way of handling interrupts for specific libraries, but I find it odd to think about embedded programming without having direct interrupt support.

This just reminded me of the Horrorstör book I've had on my reading list for a while now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594745269

I started buying from Sweetwater decades ago. Their customer focus is beyond any other retailer I've bought from. My in person GC experience OTOH was always the opposite of that.

People with NPD almost never undergo any therapy for it. They literally don't see anything wrong with themselves. Quite the opposite actually, they are forever the victim of everyo…

There are CEOs that are narcissistic, and there are CEOs that have NPD. The first will be awful to work with, and the latter will destroy your life if you hang around long enough. …

I agree with the premise here in general. There have certainly been times when I've wanted to accomplish something, but then I see someone else being exceptional at that task and I…

Maintenance burns getting out of control has happened several times in the past. That's the reason they changed what they called them from "controlled burns" to "prescribed burns".…

You can already script OpenSCAD with Python using SolidPython https://github.com/SolidCode/SolidPython .

Some Python IDEs like Thonny and PyCharm can seamlessly do file transfers for you over serial. Thonny has actually been a great tool for that on ESP boards. This was one of the rea…

You have to find the version of MicroPython that has specifically been ported to your board. In addition to the PyBoard (STM32), there is ESP8266, ESP32, BBC Micro Bit (ARM Cortex-…

Adafruit's fork was for business reasons as they wanted control over implementation for the hardware they sell, and to focus development efforts on making it more accessible to new…

On the boards it has been ported to, I2C and SPI are directly supported ( https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/machine.SPI.h... ). No C coding necessary. It's not a repla…
