Raspberry Pi Pico W LESSON 101: Using PIO State Machines Inside a Micropython Class

[@nigelworwood8530]

I have not seen the whole lesson yet but I like the fact that you let us see you sort out problems. So you cough once in a while. Are you doing it to annoy? No. So let's concentrate on what we learn and that is loads! So thank you.

I re-watched videos 63,64,65 to wrap my head around this... I am Legend my phone camera quit on me but I made a Library from previous lessons and have my State Machines working.. I would post the Code on my youtube channel, but don't want to ruin it for others... Fantastic Stuff Paul, Thank You!! Happy New Year

[@paulmcwhorter]

LEGEND! Sometimes you really do need to rewatch videos. First time you sort of get the framework or scope of what is being done, then second time you can focus on the details.

[@edSabio572]

Paul! I was able to create the library successfully. One lesson I never forgot!

[@paulmcwhorter]

Excellent!

[@johnganci933]

Homework posted. The Lesson 101 video cleared up some concepts I misunderstood/did not know in my lesson 100 homework. Incorporated them into the current homework. Thanks Paul.

[@paulmcwhorter]

Great work, keep going!

[@jbelmont72]

Please accept my gratitude. I enjoy everything about your work. Please continue with the PIO tutorials. As an eager novice and student, I lag behind your tutorials as I reconstruct the homework assignments from previous lessons including the non-PIO lessons and segue to adjunct python programming methods/ studies as they arise. This slows me down but I am benefitting from laboring over my errors. I know that the viewership of your PIO videos will increase vastly. It appears that most of the documentation is in Cplus for PIO. Perhaps a lesson in how to read Cplus documentation as it pertains to python methods using C plus documentation for illustrative purposes would be along the lines of 'teaching a man to fish."

[@paulmcwhorter]

I am glad you are enjoying the lessons! I will do my best to keep them coming.

[@onydus]

Love your work, Paul! Been following for years. Keep it going! Merry Christmas

[@paulmcwhorter]

And a very Merry Christmas to you too.

Great lesson, you cleared up several misconceptions I had. Thanks!

[@paulmcwhorter]

Glad it was helpful. I am sort of learning this stuff as I go. Last time I really did machine code was 1981

[@troyfrei2962]

Another Wonderful video.

[@paulmcwhorter]

Glad you enjoyed it

Good lesson. I was able to make some progress with the lesson to develop the class and methods, but fell short (Homework from Lesson 100). I need to play around with the code and trace things through to figure out where I got off track. I was able to create the library (Lesson 101 homework). Thank you!!!!

In the last couple of lessons, you stumbled on the Python 'range' feature (or, I would call it a bug), which does not include the second value in the function: "range(0,180,1)" will count from 0 to 179, and likewise 'range(180,0,-1) will count downwards from 180 to 1. Maybe not an important thing in this application, but might be in other code.

[@edSabio572]

Thanks Paul! I struggled trying to base my solution on lesson 64 but forgot the '@rp2.asm_pi' scope access... In any case, after this lesson, I am back up and will make that library work. Note: At the beginning of the video, I thought I saw a periscope on the river looking on your property (it was a bird) : ) Merry Christmas!!!!

[@paulmcwhorter]

Merry Christmas! Glad you're back up and running!

Hello sir, I just wanted to start by saying I really appreciate your videos but I was wondering if I could ask for some advice? I just cant choose between the following 2 degrees from Embry Riddle online: BS Engineering (sort of mechatronics focused), BS Software Engineering. I love physics and material science and I am interested in IT and computational methods for science and engineering but I am worried about job prospects because I have a family and I would like to be responsible with my degree choice. I would appreciate any advice you could provide and thank you for your time!

[@paulmcwhorter]

BS in Engineering is more future proof in my mind. I would suggest an education with a hardware component.

[@woodturner1954]

Was there a particular video where you talked about the reason for state machines? Also take care of yourself.

[@patrickfox-roberts7528]

Yes and the reason given was for accurate and consistent time spans
