Using Pysense to Program FiPy

[Benjamin Mirad Gurini]

Hello,

Is it possible to program the FiPy using a PySense board? There appears to be no expansion boards in stock anywhere on the internet, and I cannot wait 'till they're in stock to start working on this project.

I will be using the LTE features of the FiPy.

@Benjamin-Mirad-Gurini there are plenty, the most obvious being the the Pysense has additional sensors (accelerometer, temperature, humidity etc.) which the expansion board doesn’t have, and conversely the expansion board gives easy access to all pins and has a few jumpers.

@jcaron What is the difference then between Pysense and the expansion board?

@Benjamin-Mirad-Gurini yes, the Pysense and Pytrack have the same features as the Expansion Board in that respect, with an USB-to serial bridge, and the ability to automatically switch to programming mode.
