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


micropython - circuit python

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

Adafruit version: https://www.adafruit.com/micropython

Sparkfun version: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/micropython-programming-tutorial-getting-started-with-the-esp32-thing/all

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)

I have bought and tested these boards myself.

(prices for Dutch shops, Antratek.nl, KIWI-electronics)

All these boards can also be programmed using the Arduino IDE

Arduino

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