ESP8266 API's

Post by Manuel » Tue Sep 05, 2017 6:37 pm

Hi everybody,
I'm new on the forum and came because I'm a Python programmer and currently starting to program the ESP8266 chip.
I'm starting to use the native API's from espressif, but I really like Python and want to try MicroPython. I'm going to start a project and I want to start with the right language.
Micropython allows using the espressif API's? or can I do the same thing I do with espressif API's with python?

I hope your prompt response
PD: Sorry for my English

It would be easier if you could outline what you'd like to achieve. Then we could assess whether it's feasible with MicroPython and its libraries.

MicroPython provides a subset of standard Python and its libraries, plus additional libraries for accessing hardware etc. It runs on many different hardware platforms. So in preference to providing access to each vendor-specific API it aims to standardise hardware access so that (as far as possible) code is portable between platforms. See, for example, the machine library http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/p ... chine.html.
