Introduction to MicroPython on the ESP8266

One way you can get the most out of your ESP8266 is by using MicroPython. Also, the ESP8266 module is one of the best platforms on which to learn how to use MicroPython. This is because the ESP8266 provides simple GPIO pin control functions as well as wireless functionality, allowing you to test all aspects of the MicroPython programming language.

MicroPython & the ESP8266

MicroPython is an implementation of the Python 3 programming language that features a small portion of the Python standard library. It is designed to be lightweight and more efficient in order to run effectively on microcontrollers and other environments that have limited processing power and storage space.

Despite being lean, MicroPython has many advanced features, such as an interactive prompt, exception handling, arbitrary precision integers, list comprehension, and closures, among several other features. You can access and run all these features in devices that have less...
