【pyboardCN V2】Crowdfunding

dcexpert

It has been almost two years since the first micropython event. Micropython has gradually been accepted by everyone from obscurity, but few people have tried to use it in DIY and product development. Therefore, we hope that through the pyboardCN V2 event, everyone can learn and understand micropython more deeply and make various attempts. On the one hand, everyone can continue to vote to influence the final functions to be added; on the other hand, you can collect and organize various meaningful content (try to publish it officially through a publisher) so that more netizens can refer to it. pyboardCN V2 will also be open source, including all hardware, firmware, documents and reference programs. The files will be stored on github and follow the MIT license, so that everyone can refer to and use it without any worries. The MCU is initially considered to continue to use STM32F405, which is convenient and consistent with the official compatibility. Mainly consider the function expansion, firmware customization, peripheral drivers and other aspects. (For the popular ESP32, another activity will be held) Activity form:

• Everyone votes to select the functions they need
• Determine the V2 version plan and development board form
• Share usage experience
• Netizens DIY according to their own ideas
• Strive to compile everyone's usage experience and insights into a book, which will be officially published by the community.

The activity is divided into the following stages:

• From 2018-02-05 to 2018-03-02, formulate the V2 board plan. According to the voting results of netizens and the discussion of the forum, select the functions that need to be added. From the current voting situation, Wifi, OLED, Bluetooth, large capacity Flash, TFT LCD and other functions are the most needed by everyone. However, for some options, only one can be selected, such as OLED and TFT LCD.
• 2018-03-02 to 2018-03-16, drawing schematics and PCB.
• 2018-03-16 to 2018-03-31, PCB production and patch.
• 2018-03-31 to 2018-04-03, testing
• 2018-04-04 to later, netizens share their experience.

Netizens are also welcome to participate in the development of V2, including but not limited to the selection of hardware modules and components, schematic and PCB design, patch production, document management, etc.

I’m sorry, many things have come up at the same time, and I can’t arrange the time, so it may be postponed. But I am still seriously considering the second version. I hope it will be fundamentally different from the first version, not a simple imitation of the original version, and I hope to add more functions that everyone needs.

I've never tried crowdfunding, so why don't you collect any money?

We will decide based on the actual situation after it is completed, and there is no need for everyone to pay in advance.
