2018/01/22 Lolibot, FPGA Primer, MicroPython for ESP8266/ESP32 and Protocol Analysis at Open Hardware Miniconf at Linux.Conf.au 2018

Got to play with a lot of hardware at LCA 2018:
  • ESP32 micropython programmed robot
  • Learned the very basics (and pains) of how to program an FPGA
  • MicroPython programming and handling
  • Protocol Analysis (1wire) with a USB protocol sniffer.
  • Definitely worth the time I spent, even if some miniconfs made me miss a bunch of talks, but it was worth it :)

    Lolibot:







    our fearless team was honest about how they do the work every year :)

    The next day, I went to the FPGA training/miniconf:

    FPGAs are definitely 'interesting', you can use some of the gates to emulate a CPU, and others to run bare metal code

    It was useful to learn more about MicroPython the next day, definitely a faster way to work on ESP8266/ESP32 SOCs:

    Tim nicely setup a hardware rig to flash the little TOMU boards that fit in your USB slot:


    The last day, we learned how to use a USB logic analyser to debug 1wire timing issues:

    Another year, another LCA still. Back to Sydney for the 3rd time. Outside of the nice talks, and the fantastic work of recording all the talks and posting them almost real time, the highlight of LCA this year were [all the open hardware miniconfs I was able to attend|perso/arduino/post_2018-01-22_Lolibot_-FPGA-Primer_-MicroPython-for-ESP8266-ESP32-and-Protocol-Analysis-at-Open-Hardware-Miniconf-at-Linux_Conf_au-2018.html].
