The Raspberry Pi Foundation is finally designing a microcontroller with its own chip. Here's how you can use it for your projects and everything you need to know about its features and specs.

Damien George has created a new programming language with standard API to make creating Internet Of Things projects more enjoyable and easier when using the ESP8266 WiFi chip.

MicroPython may have started as a one-man effort, but nowadays the project is supported by a large community of programmers, hobbyists, and even major organizations like the European Space Agency ...

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.

The MicroPython Package Installer for Arduino simplifies library management by automating the process of searching, installing, and managing MicroPython libraries, reducing manual effort and errors.

The MicroPython folks really got the user-experience part right: tab-completion brings up an object’s methods, up-arrow recalls the last command for editing, and so on.

MicroPython is a compact implementation of the popular Python programming language. The smaller counterpart can run on microcontrollers for embedded applications.
