MicroPython on PIC16F684

Post by Quisty » Tue Nov 12, 2019 7:29 am

Hello
Is it possible to use MicroPython on PIC16F684 and if so, how would one do it?
It's for a school project, and right now we're using the PICKit-2 and Assembly to program the microcontroller, but good god I hate assembly.

Hi,

the PIC16F684 is to small to house Micropython.
For the same reason, I guess they ask you to write assembly ;)
If this project is open minded, you might be able to switch the controller?

Thanks for the reply!
We're not allowed to switch controller unfortunately, so I guess we'll just have to learn assembly :?

For these types of microcontrollers, I recommend Great Cow Basic.
