Experiment with new tools for MicroPython

Late last year (November 2022), we announced initial support for MicroPython in the Arduino ecosystem, and have continued to quietly work on the toolkit for this language .

We are continually expanding the list of Arduino boards for which MicroPython firmware is provided (available here).

In addition, we are now releasing new tools to help developers use this language with Arduino boards as well as third-party boards. These tools are released on an experimental basis, under the umbrella of Arduino Labs.

Arduino Lab Editor for MicroPython

Arduino Lab Editor for MicroPython has now reached version 0.8 with these key features:

Improved user interface Better file management (support for subfolders) More stable file system operations for save/upload/upload/run Manage libraries and modules in the `lib` folder more easily and keep map storage cleaner

Arduino Lab Installer for MicroPython

Arduino Lab Installer for MicroPython is a new tool that simplifies the process of flashing the MicroPython firmware image to Arduino boards.

Last, but not least,...
