The Factory | New PiicoDev® Sensor Prototypes & Unified Library Updates

We've assembled two fresh PiicoDev® prototypes in The Factory and it's time for some show and tell. This week we introduce the PiicoDev® motion sensor, driven by an MPU-6050, and the Colour Sensor driven by a VEML6040.

We're working on porting PiicoDev® for Raspberry Pi! This means there's a bit of rework to do in some existing module, but ultimately the cross-platform code will all exist in a dedicated "PiicoDev_Unified.py" file, which will handle the hardware level stuff, and leave the sensor-specific MicroPython modules free of any cross-platform burden.
