Python on bare metal Beginners tutorial with MicroPython
summary
Claims a full Python runtime on tiny chips and shows it by handing out MicroPython pyboards and walking through REPL and main.py examples that blink the four onboard LEDs, ramp brightness, and run interactive loops. Demonstrations use USB mass‑storage for editing, mention inline assembler for hotspots, and note the board runs at 96 MHz and 23 mA (6 μA deep sleep). Project metrics include a successful Kickstarter (≈€100k), ~5,000 GitHub stars and ~180 contributors, with ~98% test coverage.
