I recently bought the ICM20948 9DoF Motion Sensor to use with pico but it turns there is no micropython library for it. What’s involved with translating the python library to make it pico compatible? Is there anything out there that can autotranslate? Are there any guides for this process? What are …

You can try multiple things: use CircuitPython (it has a driver for the ICM20948) use MicroPython with Blinka, the CircuitPython compatibility layer port the Pimoroni Python-driver to MicroPython The Python-drivers usually use smbus for the I2C interface, and there is a MicroPython compat smbus …

Brilliant. Just the sort of answers I’m looking for. Will start there. Many thanks.

This is v useful. To see a driver written in pure micropython gives me a decent idea of what needs to happen to take the raw output from a sensor and get the data into a state were I can make use of it. Thanks!

Amazing. A perfect template for an I2C-device. It does not take the easy route of using a shim-library (e.g. translating smbus → i2c), but that will result in better code anyhow.

This thread might be useful for ICM20948, it contains a pure MicroPython driver that @Tonygo2 found. I think there’s also a CircuitPython driver for ICM20938 that it might be possible to convert?
