PINS_BREAKOUT_GARDEN in Pico Explorer micropython examples are confusing

[barnabear]

Some of the examples in https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/micropython/examples/pico_explorer include the line ...

PINS_BREAKOUT_GARDEN = {"sda": 4, "scl": 5}
PINS_PICO_EXPLORER = {"sda": 20, "scl": 21}

However the breakout garden connectors on the Pico Explorer base use {"sda": 20, "scl": 21}. I had thought they were on a separate I2C bus, but this is not the case.

Please could the PINS_BREAKOUT_GARDEN lines be removed from the examples. This was quite a head scratcher for me to figure out. In fact it's all one I2C bus.

Thanks.

That is... somewhat confusing. I had planned to move these into a library somewhere since these lines are copied all over the place 😬 I guess this is another vote to hurry up and do that.

I believe PICO_BREAKOUT_GARDEN is meant to be referring to this product, rather than the breakout garden connectors on the Pico Explorer. https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pico-breakout-garden-base?variant=32369509892179.

Also we use those pins for I2C on other products too.

That may be the case, but this directory is specifically for the Pico Explorer Base and this additional line is confusing. Confused me for sure.

Oh, sorry, my mistake. Yes, those should be removed and reference the defines in this file instead: https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/blob/main/micropython/modules_py/pimoroni.py

I've been just doing this in my own files.
i2c = PimoroniI2C(sda=(4), scl=(5))
And leaving out the
PINS_BREAKOUT_GARDEN = {"sda": 4, "scl": 5}
PINS_PICO_EXPLORER = {"sda": 20, "scl": 21}

Closing as I think this should now be sorted!
