This is the [MicroPython](http://micropython.org/) project, which puts an implementation of Python 3.x on a microcontroller or embedded system. The project also includes a small [microcontroller board](https://github.com/micropython/pyboard) based around the ARM Cortex-M4 chip (STM32F405RG). This is the [MicroPython](http://micropython.org/) project, which puts an implementation of Python 3.x on a microcontroller or embedded system.
This wiki is to support development of the MicroPython core code and the various ports to new hardware/systems. This wiki complements the [official documentation](https://docs.micropython.org/) and aims to provide a place for community-edited documentation, tips, tricks, and guides. Anyone with a GitHub account can contribute.
### What is MicroPython
MicroPython is a Python interpreter (with partial native code compilation feature). It provides a subset of Python 3.5 features, implemented for embedded processors and constrained systems. Read more about the differences to CPython [[here|Differences]].
### Boards
The [Kickstarter board (Pyboard)](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/214379695/micro-python-python-for-microcontrollers)
* The board relies on a 32 bit ARM Cortex M4 CPU (STM32F405RG, DSP with FPU, 1Mbyte Flash, 128+64 Kbyte RAM, 168 MHz).
* Technical data on the chip can be found here: [STMicroelectronics website](http://www.st.com/web/catalog/mmc/FM141/SC1169/SS1577/LN1035/PF252144) and the datasheet can be found here: [datasheet](http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/active/en/resource/technical/document/datasheet/DM00037051.pdf)
A list of other boards and their ports is here: **[[Other Boards|Boards-Summary]]**
### I want to try using MicroPython now!
If you are new to the python programming or want to learn the basics of micropython, check out [[Learn micropython|Learn Micropython]]. Also check out the [main micropython site](http://micropython.org/), where you can find the [forums](http://forum.micropython.org/).
If you have a machine that runs some flavor of Unix, see the [[Getting-Started]] instructions on how to obtain the binary to run MicroPython and start developing. MicroPython can also built on MacOSX and Windows.
You can also testdrive a Pyboard over Internet: http://micropython.org/live/ !
