PiicoDev written in CircuitPython

1

Hey there!

Are there any plans for PiicoDev to be written in CircuitPython?

This might just be an issue for me but I can’t seem to figure out how to use Blinka for MIDI commands with the PiicoDev potentiometers and I for some reason thought I should ask here. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks,
Kin

Hi @Kin271838 - I’ve played a part in the development of PiicoDev.

There are no plans to port PiicoDev to use CircuitPython, we wanted to keep it as vanilla MicroPython as possible.

Having said that, it shouldn’t be too hard to port to CircuitPython - especially if you want to bypass using PiicoDev_Unified.py and just make a simple device.

Adafruit have instructions on how to make a CP package for sharing, but you don’t have to go that far to make one that’s useful enough for yourself. There might be good tips though, and it probably reveals a lot about the structure of CircuitPython.
