New micropython support on arduino ide

micropython is a lightweight implementation of python 3 that is optimized to run on microcontrollers and embedded systems. in recent updates to the arduino ide, support for micropython has been added, allowing users to write and upload micropython code to compatible boards directly from the arduino ide.

here is a step-by-step tutorial to get started with new micropython support on the arduino ide:

1. **install the arduino ide:**
if you haven't already, download and install the latest version of the arduino ide from the official website.

2. **install the micropython plugin:**
open the arduino ide and navigate to `file - preferences`. in the "additional boards manager urls" field, add the following url:

click "ok" to save the preferences.

3. **install micropython boards:**
go to `tools - board - boards manager`, search for "micropython" and install the micropython boards package.

4. **select the micropython board:**
go to `tools - board` and select the micropython board you are using. there are various micropython-compatible boards available, such as esp32, esp8266, and others.

5. **write and upload micropython code:**
create a new sketch by going to `file - new`. write your micropython code in the editor. here is a simple example that blinks an led connected to pin 2 on an esp32 board:



6. **upload the code:**
connect your micropython board to your computer via usb. go to `tools - port` and select the port corresponding to your board. click the upload button (right arrow icon) to upload your code to the board.

7. **monitor the serial output:**
you can open the serial monitor in the arduino ide to view the output of your micropython code. go to `tools - serial monitor` and make sure the baud rate is set to match the one in your code.

congratulations! you have successfully written and uploaded a micropython script using the arduino ide. experiment with different micropython libraries and functionalities to explore the ...
