That's awesome, and what a great way to end the term!
Hopefully the hex tool will be useful for next time 😉

Btw, have you tried the micro:bit hex download tool? Makes flashing multiple micro:bits a bit easier:

Last time I used it was for a hobby project & at the time iOS didn't support it. But after that I remember seeing something about support added when the user installs it as a WPA?
That being said, they've messed around with WPA so much (including that whole Europe thing) it's worth double checking.

You can probably do web Push API with service workers, that'd be awesome to get a push notification to your phone or PC via the browser when the machine is done!

While-else gets a lot of flak, but I quite like it, just wished it was called `nobreak`!

Okay, I never noticed that before, but absolutely love it! Great work @thonnyide.bsky.social !

Ah, gotcha. Well, have fun with your can of worms! 🫣

So the flash write disables all interrupts completely? In other chips you are unable to run code from flash, but if the ISR is in RAM that can still run, is that not possible at all in the RP2350?

Ah, that's fair enough, hard to debug sometimes when it's not replicable in the environments used by the maintainers.
I might not have to look into this again in a while, but if I do I'll try to remember to give it a go.

Glad to hear the community library does work, although it's a bit annoying that it has that macOS issue. Hopefully something that could be resolved at some point.

Is there a official Python lib these days? Last time I looked into it there was only a community maintained one.

Absolutely! Even now getting an embedded toolchain and any other tools like Cmake, ninja, openOCD, etc is not that straightforward.
The Arduino IDE did a great job ensuring everything *just works* 👌

Is it an add-on or a fork? 🤔
PJRC offers Teensyduino installers to replace some Arduino IDE files for Teensy boards compatibility.
And full IDE installers had to be provided for the latest macOS, so the lines get really blurry!
Either way, a great platform with a fantastic Arduino integration. 👏

Forgot the most infamous fork of them all!
When Arduino SRL (the reason Arduino LLC created the Genuino trademark) forked IDE v1.6.3, removed the warning about the LLC boards & released it as v1.7.0 😱
So glad everything was eventually resolved & the two orgs merged 😌

Arduino IDE Forked
As if it weren’t confusing enough in the Arduino world these days, now we’re going to have to deal with conflicting version numbers for the IDE. Yup, it’s been forked. Arduino LLC…

Yeah, that sounds quite annoying 😖. Were you building the full IDE from source as well?

Ah, I had forgotten MPIDE!
It was released with the chipKIT Uno32 & Max32 boards from Digilent & @microchip-makes.bsky.social, featuring the PIC32.
I remember fondly these red boards, as they were the first 32 bit MCUs I ever used.

Wow yeah, you are right, things get quite blurry!
Didn't realised you had to pack the entire IDE for the latest macOS releases, that must have been a pain to set up. Do you build it from source or patch it and re-sign it?
It's almost like "a fork with extra steps" 😅

No worries!
I remember using Processing for the first time a while ago when I was at uni. Although I wasn't a huge fan of Java at the time, it made it really easy to draw stuff and I was pleaseantly surprised. It is a fantastic project!

The other one I know is "IDE for GR", made for the "Gadget Renesas Boards". The coolest part is that the boards and the IDE are bright pink! 💖

👀 But has anybody seen any other forks? I'd love to find more!

I've only seen two notable Arduino IDE forks, both from silicon vendors.
The first is Energia from Texas Instruments. Some people might remember this one from to the first LaunchPad. An MSP430 dev board for $4.30, one the most affordable boards at the time 💸👍

The Arduino IDE was forked from Wiring, which in turn was forked from Processing, a visual coding environment designed to teach coding (Java in this case) through art. 🎨💻
