Is Python useful for embedded systems?
Python can be used to receive critical embedded system data that can then be stored in database or locally for analysis. Developers can use Python to develop real-time visualizations that show critical parameters or store and save those parameters for later analysis.
Is MicroPython an operating system?
MicroPython runs “bare-metal” directly on the hardware: there is no underlying operating system like Windows, macOS, or Linux. MicroPython has complete and direct control of the hardware, so, in effect, MicroPython is the operating system.
Is MicroPython compiled or interpreted?
MicroPython includes a cross compiler which generates MicroPython bytecode (file extension . mpy). The Python code can be compiled into the bytecode either directly on a microcontroller or it can be precompiled elsewhere.
What is micromicropython and how does it work?
MicroPython is a full Python compiler and runtime that runs on the bare-metal. You get an interactive prompt (the REPL) to execute commands immediately, along with the ability to run and import scripts from the built-in filesystem.
Where can I use MicroPython?
You can freely use and adapt MicroPython for personal use, in education, and in commercial products. MicroPython is developed in the open on GitHub and the source code is available at the GitHub page , and on the download page . Everyone is welcome to contribute to the project.
What makes the MicroPython REPL different?
The REPL has history, tab completion, auto-indent and paste mode for a great user experience. MicroPython strives to be as compatible as possible with normal Python (known as CPython) so that if you know Python you already know MicroPython.
What is the MicroPython pyboard?
The pyboard is the official MicroPython microcontroller board with full support for software features. The hardware has: 24 GPIO on left and right edges and 5 GPIO on bottom row, plus LED and switch GPIO available on bottom row On-board 3.3V LDO voltage regulator, capable of supplying up to 250mA, input voltage range 3.6V to 16V
