WiFi, RFM69 support?

Post by sketchy »

Are there plans to include modules for WiFi and RFM69? If so, are there approximate time frames for availability? I want to switch from Arduino to a Feather w/ M0 + wifi + RFM69 to Circuit Python.

Thank you.

We don't have any concrete plans. For wifi we're more focused on the ESP8266 and probably ESP32 as the successor. With the M0 Wifi we're concerned about not having enough flash and ram to fit both CircuitPython and a wifi stack.

I haven't done any RFM69 stuff yet so I'm unsure of the impact of that. I imagine it'd be good to build a library for it on top of nativeio. Once we did that the ESP8266 version would be viable.

Thank you. I am grateful for your answer. It helps set my expectations. regarding ESP8266 + micropython...are there any projections when folks like me can give it a twirl?

MicroPython and CircuitPython are both available for ESP8266 right now. See https://micropython.org/download#esp8266 and https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/releases "feather_huzzah" version. Guide for it is here: https://learn.adafruit.com/building-and ... 6/overview

Cheers.
