MicroPython Forum (Archive)

Hi,

I can't wait to use my Arduino and write Python on it. The official page says MicroPython will be supported this month, July 2021, under the "Python Power" section.

Is there some guide out already to get us started?

Thanks,
Ryan

There is not specifically adapted version yet for that board. But you should be able to run the sparkfun pro firmware, even if that will not support WiFi. The rp2-Pico version should work too, but that one will only uses 2MB of the flash. But for first steps that's ok. To get into Download mode, you have to connect the Pin QSPI_CSn to GND (they are adjacent) and then push the (reset) button on the board. Then a disk drive will appear on a connected PC. Cope the firmware .uf2 file to that disk drive. If successful, the disk drive will disappear again, and you will have a REPL prompt at the USB/Serial interface. The Pin numbers of the standard firmware are the GPIO numbers.
