Personal notes

Brad's personal working notes for PyDevices work across sibling repos (pydevices-examples, cmods, mip, app templates, etc.). Not contributor-facing and not published via Pages or RTD — lives here so it can sync with the org clone without being a product/docs surface.

Todo

Frozen & standalone apps

  • Frozen self-installer for MicroPython (Unix + micropython.exe) — see docs/frozen-self-installer-notes.md (pydevices-examples, micropython-lib)
  • Develop apps and freeze them into standalone executables — start with spotapi_remote in the spotapi repo (spotapi — external, not a cloned sibling)
    • Research packaging alternatives: Electron (JS shell + web UI) and PyInstaller (CPython frozen binary) vs MicroPython frozen executables; pick what fits each app
  • Create a feature-accurate Minesweeper game modeled after Windows Minesweeper (pydevices-examples)
  • Create a joystick emulator to run on an MCU and appear as a joystick over USB (pydevices)
  • Create a dino game to feature in the HTML of the gallery index. Fixed-height display that scales to page width; stay 1×1 (hidden) until a Dino button is pressed, equivalent to Run on micropython.html / pyodide.html (pydevices-examples)
  • Verify that FINGERMOTION isn't needed (pydevices-examples)
  • After merging multimer-selection: fix Linux piano / utils/audio.py growing latency under glissando (notes start a bit late, then delay lengthens until the queue backs up badly). Windows PE was fine; all three Linux desktop runtimes showed it. Likely the wall-clock look-ahead / catch-up pump interacting with main-thread redraw — not introduced by multimer-selection (audio.py unchanged since 145f4475). Context tasks: 164d87be-1a25-46a2-a2c6-fc4f4a81742a and 768842b6-88cc-4584-99f0-b28fe4ef08e4. (pydevices-examples)
  • Hinch GUI trio (nano / micro / touch_gui_simpletest) and widgets_locker_kiosk still out of the example matrix — revisit and get them green (or keep parked with a clear reason). (pydevices-examples)
  • Enable Mermaid rendering on RTD sites — ```mermaid blocks currently show as plain text, not diagrams. At least: pydevices-examples, pdwidgets, palettes, pygraphics. (pydevices-examples, pdwidgets, palettes, pygraphics)
  • Publish more / all of pydevices to micropython-lib. (pydevices, micropython-lib)
  • Create a patch in cmods to enable FFI on micropython.exe so it can use uwin32.py / hardware timers. (cmods, multimer)
  • Off-heap buffer via FFI: Use Win32 VirtualAlloc or C malloc if you ever want the framebuffer to live outside the GC heap entirely (similar to SDL). (pydevices, displaydev)
  • Add PyScript live examples in palettes and pdwidgets. (palettes, pdwidgets, pydevices-examples)
