Hello
Do you have experience using Seeeduino XIAO ESP32 with MicroPython, yet better circuitpython?

In the meanwhile, I did write a step-by-step guide to get uPyCraft up-and-running on Debian Buster (on Raspberry Pi)

Enjoy 🙂

It didn’t run on Raspian Buster (Raspberry Pi) neither.
Download en compile the sourcecode, all steps are described !
easy peasy, it did take me less then 15 minutes to get it up and running on RPI4 🙂
(I’m used to it, by using it on my mac with LiliGo TTGO T8 boards, so this was an obvious choice for me)

hi there – while i tried to create a virtual environment i get the error.

root@MartinsMX-Rechner:/home/martin# python3 -m venv myVirtEnv
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

apt-get install python3-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command. After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

Failing command: [‘/home/martin/myVirtEnv/bin/python3’, ‘-Im’, ‘ensurepip’, ‘–upgrade’, ‘–default-pip’]

root@MartinsMX-Rechner:/home/martin#

uPyCraft V1.1 working on Ubuntu 18

create a virtual env:
1. CD to the location where you want to create your virtual environment
[RUN]: python3 -m venv myVirtEnv

2. To activate the environment

[RUN]: source myVirtEnv/bin/activate

2.a If you don’t create a virtual environment, the uPyCraft v1.0 will break a libz package that is old. Seems there is more risk in breaking your OS by downgrading that package.

3. Follow the steps here:
