MicroPython Python for microcontrollers and constrained environments

Christo Goosen

This talk will focus mainly on the ESP8266 & Unix implementation of MicroPython. The ESP8266 is an amazing device, considering it is the size of a R5 coin and can run an implementation of Python. The talk will cover features, limitations and some simple ideas to get going. A demo of a simple Home Automation/IOT application with MicroPython & the ESP8266 will also be included.

This talk aims to bring the familiarity of Python 3 to developers, with the hope of encouraging hack-a-day type projects without extensive embedded device knowledge.
