Threads

[rhubarbdog]

There are hints on github and docs.micropython.org that the pyboard supports multi threaded programs.
I have tried the following

Code: Select all

import threading

Code: Select all

import _thread

and

Code: Select all

import thread

none of which worked.

Does pyboard support threads if so has anyone got a coding example

First you need upgrad firmware with thread feature, then using import _thread.

Indeed, on the download page there are prebuilt firmwares with threading enabled. If you possibly can, use uasyncio in preference. See here for reasons.
