Badger 2040 - Click button trigger GPIO

Open thalesfsp opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I would like to to connect the Badger 2040 to my RPI. Basic idea: Clicking in some Badger 2040 button would trigger an action in the RPI. Is this possible?

Using MicroPython I'd hook it up via USB and do this over serial using Python/pyserial - https://pyserial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pyserial_api.html

You then just need to make pressing a button print something, watch for that over serial and act accordingly.

CircuitPython could pretend to be a keyboard and send whole USB HID macros, but how useful those are depends on what you want to achieve.

@Gadgetoid Would be possible to connect the badger to a stepper motor driver (GPIO)? Particularly, SPI.

Closing this as it looks like the original question was answered, and the follow-up question was raised and answered separately https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/issues/323
