Programming electronic systems is easier than ever. MicroPython makes it simple to program affordable MCUs, from the ...

Rather than duplicating the BP5 firmware functionality, I decided to ignore it completely and go with existing MicroPython capabilities. I planned to just make a simple set of board definition files — ...

Scripting languages are for large computers, right? “Real” embedded device work is a hellish, never-ending cycle of code, compile, and re-flash. Well, I used to think so too, but with the ...

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 ...

The passionate development team at Arduino has always been committed to empowering developers, and in this mission, they have unveiled their latest tools when using Arduino and MicroPython. Aimed at ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

While languages such as Ada and C++ have gained some adoption in certain circles, for the most part embedded software is still dominated by the procedural and dangerous C programming language. A few ...
