Micropython is a hype!

Micropython can be seen as "a conversation with the microcontroller".

You can send it command using code, and it will immediately talk back. You can change a line of code in a program and the change is immediately incorporated.

Micropython needs disk space on the microcontroller (or around on the board): 60K


Editors

Online code editor in python for the BBC Microbit: in Chrome (not in Safari or Firefox): https://python.microbit.org/v/2.0. Errors are displayed on the microbit.

Mu editor for Adafruit, also microbit https://codewith.mu Errors are displayed in the REPL window.

You can also use a text editor and drag the file into the micropython disk

Microcontrollers talking micropython (or CircuitPython)

(prices for Dutch shops, Antratek.nl, kind electronics)

All these boards can also be programmed using the Arduino IDE

Officiel versions http://micropython.org https://circuitpython.org

Arduino

The Arduino doesn't "talk" micropython. Its memory is too small.
