Micro Python pyboard overview

Introduction to Micro Python and the pyboard. Explains key features of the pyboard and the basics of how to start using it.

Me too, the guy that made this is a genius! it has all the right stuff in it.

[mitchtaylor]

Perfectly explained. Awesome work. Buying one to play now.

Excellent, clearly explained presentation. Thank you!
One thing that's unclear about PyBoard is the power requirements and connections. Can I connect a small CR3032 (or similar) type coin cell for RTC back-up, and normally run it off a 10-15V DC supply? Where would those two sources connect? I noted that you had a ~6V supply with a three pin connector, not sure what the third pin is for (mechanical stability, perhaps?), or which pins were actually electrically used to provide the 6V.

Very interesting and powerful for any robots that I can do by myself. Thank you for video!

why does it blink the LED before printing Hello world at 5:40?

[dgb]

Wow great video thank you for sharing the potential of this board

This is just what the Radio Shack Color Computer did in the ‘80s. They had a flavor of Basic running “bare metal” ( Motorola 6809 CPU) and you could copy it to ram, make mods, and burn your own version. I add the subset of the OS9 file directory system, and could write to a hard drive.

Nice tutorial. Very well explained.
Thanks.

This is great, i already ordered one.

Is it possible to activate and control the pyboard from an external linux computer. For instance, the pyboard collects data and stores it in a SD card for the external computer to do intense computations on, then it returns directions by writing it to a file to be stored in the SD card for the pyboard to read, and update its directives. To coordinate everything though, the main scripts would need to be on the computer to turn on and sync the pyboard scripts. Is this possible?

Got mine today. Would have liked more if it had Gyroscope also integrated with it. Could have converted it to a Flight Controller without adding any new hardware.

[kamakshaiahmusunuru]

Very useful demo. Is it the OS used is normal Ubuntu OS installed in somewhere? or are you using any specific editor/terminal for this?

[cmaxmedia]

Are the soure files of the demo scripts (8:00 to 8:40) available for download? tnx

[kaoutarallabouche]

Looks a great device; how much is the sensivity of the BLE and WIFI for this device, in receiving and transmitting cases? l'have search in intrenet but i haven't suceed to find a response, to order it.
Thanks in advance,

Is there a way to re-write firmware without using the usb? I have some servo drives that use stm32f405 but it appears to be some issue with the bootloader. Allways returns errors while flashing

- do i need to have a pyBoard to start with MicroPython !?




this is a question regarding MicroPython



i want to headstart in MicroPython



what do i need to do the first steps?

- do i need to have a pyBoard from Adafruit!?



or is it okay if i just start on systems like



- ESP 32

- or a ESP8266-based device called WEMOS D1





or a SBC-NodeMCU-ESP8266

which is just another developer platform



regarding the wemos:
We’ll be using an ESP8266-based device called WEMOS D1 mini. Basically, it’s a Wi-Fi chip with a couple of digital and analog I/O pins to connect external sensors and actuators.
But for our simple demo, we won’t need anything besides the LED light that is already located on the device and is connected to the digital output pin 2.





look forward to hear from you

This is terrific but is there any Debug IDE for MicroPython now? What if VSCode?

[rizwanahmadbhatti]

What about other architectures? Where can we get ports of micropi for different architectures?

[bhargavapothakamuri]

Hey, I am a Electonics guy, dont know the exact term, but can I put micro python in Arduino?

[AdityalikeThe]

When do we expect it to run TensorFlow Lite?
