The world of microcontrollers is set to experience a significant shift with the upcoming release of MicroPython v1.23, which will introduce support for Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) on multi-core ...

Managing libraries for Arduino boards has traditionally been a time-consuming and error-prone process. Developers often had to manually search for, download, and configure libraries, which could be ...

Last time, I talked about how MicroPython is powerful and deserving of a place in your toolkit, and it made for a lively discussion. I’m glad to see that overall, MicroPython has indeed been getting ...

Just to flag this one, though you may have noticed it already: Arduino support for MicroPython - an optimised version of the language that runs on MCUs - is now available as a downloadable editor.

In case you haven’t heard, about a month ago MicroPython has celebrated its 11th birthday. I was lucky that I was able to start hacking with it soon after pyboards have shipped – the first tech talk I ...

I’ve worked with hardware before, so the electronics themselves were never the problem. What consistently slowed me down was the software side. C, C++, and the Arduino ecosystem always felt like too ...

In a previous blog, Using MicroPython for real-time software development, I examined the idea behind using MicroPython for real-time embedded software. Now, let’s examine some of the core pieces that ...

The C/C++ programming languages have long dominated the embedded systems industry, with very few other languages being able to find a foothold. While languages such as Java and Ada have certainly ...
