XIAO Core Programming Guide

ok so I am trying to put a positive spin on this code base problem

I have to admit that I am no professional computer programmer…

I might not even be a hobbyist programmer…

but I love XIAO and grove products

But I am continuously frustrated that the products do not have code that works out of the box

I realize that one of the best ways to learn coding is to have to debug your source code

I understand that no one can make a plug and play code base to work for everyone

I understand that most people who complain about source code have not done their homework

I understand that forums never give productive answers to coding questions

So….

I am really impressed with this guide

In similar fashion, I wanted to develop a code base that could include all the functionality of the XIAO Expansion board into one single codebase that would work, without having to download a bunch of crazy dependencies all over creation… I understand that things like the display driver code may need to be separate, but we don’t need dependency code to blink an led or to use a button, or even… dare i say use a sd card or real time clock

Now with the XIAO ecosystem using so many different MCU and each having different querks in the programming, I think it is even more important to get a handle on this stuff

So I am wondering what you guys think and if we can get a core group of people who would be willing to share in trying to make this happen…

To make this vision happen i am thinking we need a team

The team needs the following specialists

A report writing specialist - who can make the document, the user manual
A code writing specialist - who can write the code correctly, and knows industry programming
A beta tester specialist - who can test to make sure it works and find bugs
A manager - who can hurd cats…

Having a hard time understanding overview of Wio Terminal programming environment.

Are there any beginner guides for getting started? Something that describes their flavor of Python, with examples?

And that describes any additional libraries or IDE’s needed to work with Grove modules?

Really wanting to put together a device with Wio Terminal & Grove Modules that does not require me to become a Wio/Grove guru…which seems to be the case???
