Thanks for the reply,

This is information is very helpfull.

Hi, I've been looking for some information on how to implement frozen bytecode, and I found the following in the docs: https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/packages.html#cross-installing-packages-with-freezing Using frozen bytecode requires building the executable (firmware) for a given ...

Hi, I’m using the Pyboard to compare Arduino code and MicroPython code. I noticed that the deep sleep current differs between the two languages. The deep sleep current I measured for MicroPython code is 10 µA and for Arduino code it is 40 µA. This was very surprising to me, because I would asume tha...

I have done similar measurements on a Pyboard 1.1. The deepsleep current is very much lower. The total energy used and time spent after wakeup is much reduced if frozen bytecode is used: the compiler doesn't run, and the code runs directly from flash with no filesystem operations. Funny you should ...

I don't know, but what comes to mind here: it would make more sense to test this with an actual application instead of a toy example which doesn't do much at all, and to measure execution time between certain points by e.g toggling output pins (which is slightly related to your second question: you...

Hi, I was testing out the cross compiler to see how much faster my code could run if the microcontroller didn't have to compile it anymore. After reading the following posts I realised that I couldn't just cross compile main.py to main.mpy: https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8410&p=47...

Hi, I'm doing a thesis on the power consumption of MicroPython VS Arduino. As a test I wrote a program that wakes the microcontroller up and puts it back to sleep (with a timer for 1s) and just keeps on doing this. I used an ESP32_DevKitC_V4 with the WROOM-32 module. This is the Arduino code: void s...

Hi, I'm trying to get confirmation on something. The Docs say that at start-up your python source code on the Flash memory gets compiled to byte code, this byte code gets stored in the RAM and then then the Virtual Machine interprets your byte code (which means executes your code). Now my question: ...

Hi, I'm wondering how I can look up how MicroPython functions are implemented? If I'm not mistaking MicroPython is written in C so I would assume the different MicroPython functions have som kind of C implementation. But after browsing the MicroPython github repository I can't seem to find what I'm ...

Hi,

I just wrote a tutorial on this, here is the link:
