hi ... cool .. music is too loud compared to the rest

@AirForceJuan747 Жыл бұрын

Careful with the sound levels. You have a very soft voice, and the music is too loud. Otherwise great video as usual.

@kevinmcaleer28 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback Juan, I'll keep any background music really low in future videos

Maybe you could do something with this video? I had to stop because since I have problems with my ears, I use headphones and the music is then definitivly too loud so I can't see this video, but I'm interessed in this topic. Woud be nice, if you can do something. Thank you

Great Video!!! Nicely explained how to get from C to MicroPython (or the other way around). 👍👍👍

@ronnetgrazer362 3 жыл бұрын

Very nice info for beginners like myself! One request: could you make your voice louder, and the music a LOT less loud? I had to operate the volume button (2 * 10)-1 times during this video, and the background music made it hard to concentrate at times. Full disclosure, I have attention deficit disorder. :)

Great video Kevin. Learning Arduino first was very beneficial, in my case anyway. Understanding data types, functions, loops etc making it easier for me to get a grasp on Micropython. Unlike Arduino, I find Micropython tutorials in less abundance.

Do we know how much space micro python takes for mega as opposed to the C code we use as standard ? What situation might be an advantage to use micro python.

@infelicitatis 3 жыл бұрын

i recently get stuck with arduinos a lot, maybe i will switch over to micro pythons, it seems like they are a little easier to debug cause you can interfere with the running programm.

The music between points is wayyyy too loud for the vocal level . You might just review that difference on earphones . Ty for video.

I don't know if it's worth it to learn micro python. Arduino C seems more intuitive to me on a certain level. Being an educator some of the syntax in Arduino C sounds more appropriate like def int include plus I like the idea of the library manager when working with different products and sensors etc. Maybe I'm just to use to Arduino C. But regardless you are the master. I love all your resources and videos.

I have tried Micropython several times with wemos but have had a lot of issues of the board hanging, not responding and in need to be flushed with a fresh python installation. Have you had similar experience at all? Maybe using C is more stable? Twice i have given up on projects due to this issue. I am using python in my day job so it would be a no brainer. I am on windows, not sure that has anything to do with it🤔 Better tooling in linux based systems?

@kevinmcaleer28 2 жыл бұрын

It can be todo with the quality of the wemos boards - where did you get them from?

@@kevinmcaleer28 I got one from pi the hut after having issues with some ebay boards. The issue was the same though. Not much to go on i know 🙂 I can send you my github code if you find it an "interesting case" to look at when i get around to it again. *quite* sure its not a software issue. Basically just a green house sensor/watering project together with a Pi as MQTT broker

If i can also ask. What is your strategy powering a lot of small devises around the house? All on individual usb chargers? I like the idea of them running on battery for flexible placement.

True, but all MicroPython boards use the 3.3v pinouts, and none use 5v, whereas Arduino's Uno's are 5v - a beginner wouldn't know what.

totally bad music but super video with the comparisons the 9th thing has nothing to do with the languages I think ;-) btw coming to Python from Perl the indentation pisses me off completely ;-( it might be easier for newcomers but for Perl programmers... horrible ;-) There used to be Perl competitions: "how much you can do within 1 line of code" - marvellous what Perl allowed to do in 1 line - full programs were there

I really don't like it that python is fragmenting the dev community. It has become impossible to search for solutions online because it may be C or python. Python is slower. It's a micro controller. Learn C!
