MicroPython is an implementation of Python 3 for microcontrollers. It’s an awesome firmware that combines the powerful features of Python programming language with the low-level access of microcontrollers. Following is a list of microcontrollers supported by the MicroPython framework. Arch Mix, Actinius icarus, Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect, Arduino Primo, B_L072Z_LRWAN1, B_L475E_IOT01A, blueio_tag_evim, C3 mini, CERB40,…

The majority of sensors have an analog output.  Few sensors come with a built-in controller and can stream the output measurements over a digital protocol. That is why analog to digital conversion is one of the basic features that every microcontroller/port has. The other basic features include digital input/output, analog output, PWM generation, and serial…

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is one of the five basic functionalities in any microcontroller. The other four are digital input, digital output, analog input, and serial data communication. Most microcontrollers do not have a built-in digital-to-analog converter to output analog signals. However, most of the microcontrollers have one or more PWM output interfaces. PWM signals…

The first step in programming embedded devices is to perform digital input/output. Digital input/output refers to reading parallel data. The same logical signals are utilized for switching and control operations. MicroPython, an embedded firmware, essentially includes libraries to control digital input/output and other hardware functions. MicroPython can be uploaded and run on a variety of…

MicroPython implements the Python 3 programming language for microcontrollers and microcomputers. It is a firmware solution designed to implement high-level language features of Python into low-level hardware platforms. The firmware is optimized to run in constrained environments while allowing a small subset of Python 3 standard libraries into embedded programming. MicroPython firmware can run in…
