Been impressed with reading about this board , but never got on with Python and don’t really want to learn it and have failed in my attempts .
Will any ‘ C ‘ type code become available ?
Do you mean C++, like the standard Arduino setup() and loop() etc?
see https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/nicla-vision/user-manual/
(OpenMV IDE is used to program the Nicla Vision in MicroPython with high-level tools for image processing, while Arduino IDE uses C++ and provides lower-level control with access to standard Arduino libraries and hardware features. )
It does look like the standard Arduino IDE will work with the Nicla Vision, although (as with most recent Arduino product releases), you may run into bugs and/or incomplete support for the on-board sensors.
As I understand it, MicroPython is a large C (or C++) program that runs on the board and interprets the Python code you provide, much like BASIC in the past.
The value of Python for that board is the access to advanced libraries for image and data processing that are not available really on the Arduino / C++ side.
There is a learning curve (and some frustration along the way because of the quirks of the language when you are an old timer with C/C++ ) but it is pretty productive then given the richness of the environment.
Yea , what I found , glad it’s not just me . ( don’t Pythons squeeze the life out of you ?)
It’s the advanced video stuff I was interested in , looks like I need to look at Python again , Damn blast etc
After a short while you get used to it. It’s not that bad. Worth following a small tutorial if you never coded with it.
