Version 0.1.0

This version should build against mainline MicroPython, reducing any core differences between our .uf2 and MicroPython's own builds to zero. At least insofar as we keep up a relatively regular release schedule.

Includes a fix for PicoDisplay.text to throw a TypeError when given a non-string value to display, instead of hard-locking the Pico.

Includes support for our upcoming ST7789-powerd 240x240 pixel (ostensibly) Round LCD.

Version 0.0.9 Alpha

This is 0.0.8 but - hopefully - with ulab.

Version 0.0.8 Alpha

v0.0.8 should hopefully - and once more - bring our MicroPython release up to feature/bugfix parity with upstream MicroPython and Pico SDK.

Version 0.0.7 Alpha

This release updates all of our libraries to raise a RuntimeError if a function is called before init(). Fixes #52

Additionally the erroneous backlight control was removed from Pico Explorer, fixing #53

Version 0.0.6 Alpha

This release should build against the freshly rebased continuous-integration branch, forked from upstream MicroPython post the Pico merge. Should fix #41 and probably some other bits.

Since upstream now has some extended modules enabled we've inherited those, too.

v0.0.5 Alpha

This release includes a small, temporary fix (#22), to Unicorn in order to avoid it exploding when the same script was run twice without resetting.

Additionally ure - the MicroPython regular expressions library - has been added.

v0.0.4 Alpha

This release includes the missing Pico Explorer library that we lost down the back of the sofa.

v0.0.3 Alpha

This release includes fixes for the byte offset and ghosting issues that affected Pico Unicorn in MicroPython.

v0.0.2 Alpha

This release is for the MicroPython firmware. It reverts the hack to gc_heap since the display buffer should be allocated as a bytearray in Python.

It also includes the ujson module.

pimoroni-pico-micropython.uf2 is our build of Pico MicroPython including all of the modules in this GitHub repository. It is built against the pico_user_c_modules branch of Pico MicroPython using the patches from this PR: raspberrypi/micropython#3

And this make invocation:

make USER_C_MODULES=../../../pimoroni-pico/micropython/modules/

v0.0.1 Alpha

Tentative first release to give us somewhere to hang the firmware.uf2 on. This is upstream MicroPython + Usermod Support built against our modules with:

make USER_C_MODULES=../../../pimoroni-pico/micropython/modules/

Note: ⚠️ If you're used to CircuitPython, note that MicroPython will not show up as mass storage.

Note: This uf2 uses a slight modification to MicroPython's available stack so we can allocate a buffer for displays in C++, if gc.mem_free() shows unexpected results, this is where your memory has gone.
