Playing with @toitware and Heltec LoRFa/WiFi kits. TIL you have to turn on vext (GPIO21) to power the display . The setup looks like:
vext := gpio.Pin 21 --output
vext.set 0
vext.set 1
sda := gpio.Pin 17
scl := gpio.Pin 18
The next big thing for the #IoT?
Florian just discovered Toit (@toitware), a new programming platform for the IoT. Here are his first impressions: cclnk.de/3VcXNlR#toit#embedded
Still use C for your embedded projects? Not the best experience, eh?
Florian just discovered Toit (@toitware) and thinks this new programming platform might be the next big thing for the #IoT.
Here's why: cclnk.de/3AAJpKq#toit#embedded
4: So many new platform are now emerging which are centred around dev productivity in IoT.
Like @toitware is solving complex CD challenges in hardware. @inventhub is bringing version management to hardware design. 10/13
For those of you who are into #IoT, I ran into @Toitware today!
It allows you to easily configure & monitor your ESP32 hardware plus create custom code quickly and easily.
First 10 devices are free!
Added to weekend plans!

ESP32 development boards are incredible for #DIY#smarthome projects, but no one said it had to be a human home! This project uses the @toitware language and service to build a mock-up of an automatic chicken coop that opens and closes at dawn and dusk:

Having seen how containers can simplify management of edge 'nix devices (@balena_io, @lagerdata), I'm looking for same on embedded. I've found @microej and @toitware so far. This thread providing more ideas.
