There is a version of Tote using PyBoard as its brains: #Micropython Quadruped Robot

But the code for that was translated from Tote's Arduino code, and didn't work too well for some reason. I promised to try and fix that some time ago, but somehow I never got the time for it. Last night I finally got myself to remove the PyBoard from #Henk hexapod robot, put it on Tote and program.

As the base, I used the micro:bit version of Tote's code, since it's MicroPython too. I just added the servo-handling code that @wagner wrote for his robot. I also used the same pins, timers and channels. Since I didn't want to make a custom PCB, I just used the old trick and connected the PyBoard using dupont cables:

The resulting code is available at https://bitbucket.org/thesheep/pyb_tote/src
