MicroPython for Micro:bit - Introduction

MicroPython is a version of the Popular coding Language Python 3, That has been cut down and implemented on microcontrollers. If you have used Python and Arduino, you will know why this is something that would get us excited. The Arduino uses a version of the C programming language and although C is very powerful it is not the friendliest language to work with.

MicroPython. unlike C, is an interpreted language, so the code is not compiled beforehand it is executed at runtime. This can be good as it allows for fast easy coding but can also lead to problems as errors will not be caught until the code is run and introduces some overhead to computing your code.

I have received my microbit this week and I am really happy to find your video serie. I just started Python and I made my first analog input from a thermistor. I now planning to collect data to a file on microbit and I want to send the data via USB to the computer (the direct data collection via USB unfortunately doesn't works). I have one question: the unit can be damage if I powered from battery and when running I plug it into USB? Thanks for the reply!
