Dear All, I am pleased to confirm that the firmware of Pycom modules is now Open source and can be found here https://github.com/pycom/pycom-micropython
Essentially, we’re releasing the source code under GPLv3 which will ensure our developer community is able to support the development of the code unhindered. It also enables 3rd party ‘board manufacturers’ or people to distribute/license the code as long as they adhere to the license, attribution and disclaimer notices. This is also an obligation placed on Pycom by some of our technology partners. We have also placed on the repo a CLA (Contributor License Agreement) based on the Apache license with a few tweaks (which makes it more relevant for our hardware community). As I have previously offered, happy to address any questions you may have. Simply post on Forum or email me ([email protected]) and I will collate all the information over a period of a week. We will then compile and submit back an FAQ document to address the main pertinent questions. Best wishes – Fred
Where the Program has an interactive user interface (e.g. telnet, ssh, http), the following text will be displayed upon first connection of each session to such interface:
WARNING: Ensure this hardware is compliant with FCC, CE and other applicable legislation relation to construction and manufacturing standards, electromagnetic compatibility and spectrum licensing prior to operating. For more information, and to check compliance, see https://www.pycom.io/opensource/compliance. IT IS ILLEGAL TO OPERATE NON COMPLIANT HARDWARE.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
