Installation Guide Using MIP Library#

Note

The mip library is utilized to install other libraries on the NANOC6 board.

Requirements#

  • ESP32C6 device

  • Thonny IDE

  • Wi-Fi credentials (SSID and Password)

Installation Instructions#

Follow the steps below to install the max1704x.py library:

Connect to Wi-Fi#

Copy and run the code below in Thonny to connect your ESP32 to a Wi-Fi network:

import mip
import network
import time

def connect_wifi(ssid, password):
   wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
   wlan.active(True)
   wlan.connect(ssid, password)

   for _ in range(10):
      if wlan.isconnected():
            print('Connected to the Wi-Fi network')
            return wlan.ifconfig()[0]
      time.sleep(1)

   print('Could not connect to the Wi-Fi network')
   return None


 ssid = "your_ssid"
 password = "your_password"

ip_address = connect_wifi(ssid, password)
print(ip_address)
mip.install('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UNIT-Electronics/MAX1704X_lib/refs/heads/main/Software/MicroPython/example/max1704x.py')
mip.install('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cesarbautista10/Libraries_compatibles_with_micropython/refs/heads/main/Libs/oled.py')
mip.install('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cesarbautista10/Libraries_compatibles_with_micropython/refs/heads/main/Libs/sdcard.py')

Usage#

The library provides a set of tools to help developers work with the DualMCU ONE board. The following are the main features of the library:

  • I2C Support: The library provides support for I2C communication protocol, making it easy to interface with a wide range of sensors and devices.

  • Arduino Shields Compatibility: The library is compatible with Arduino Shields, making it easy to use a wide range of shields and accessories with the DualMCU ONE board.

  • SDcard Support: The library provides support for SD cards, allowing developers to easily read and write data to SD cards.

Examples of the library usage:

import machine
from dualmcu import *

i2c = machine.SoftI2C( scl=machine.Pin(22), sda=machine.Pin(21))

oled = SSD1306_I2C(128, 64, i2c)

oled.fill(1)
oled.show()

oled.fill(0)
oled.show()
oled.text('UNIT', 50, 10)
oled.text('ELECTRONICS', 25, 20)

oled.show()
