Woah. That sounds really interesting. I'm a Python programmer and Code Club volunteer, with a side interest in physical computing. The MicroBit looks like a great intersection of all three. Do you know of any way I could get my hands on one, or otherwise get involved in the beta program? Tha

This could be an interesting subject for one of the next Python Dojo, what do you think about? Something similar to the RaspberryPi theme we did last month. Cheers. On 12 March 2015 at 15:48, Nicholas H.Tollervey wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > It's also worth mentio

Since it's in photos, it's safe to say that the current _prototype product_ uses an Atmel 32U4, which doesn't have anywhere enough memory to run micropython. (So in order to run python on it via the gcc-avr tool chain, you can probably infer a number of things I had to do, involving ply) The actua
