Development Boards / MicroPython

MicroPython is a tiny open source Python programming language interpreter that runs on small embedded development boards. With MicroPython you can write clean and simple Python code to control hardware instead of having to use complex low-level languages like C or C++ (what Arduino uses for programming).

The simplicity of the Python programming language makes MicroPython an excellent choice for beginners who are new to programming and hardware. However MicroPython is also quite full-featured and supports most of Python's syntax so even seasoned Python veterans will find MicroPython familiar and fun to use.
