Michael Python is relatively new.
Nevertheless, continuing that tradition set by Python, it is very well documented in this lecture.
We show you some of the best online, free and community supported resources that I use a guarantee
that these resources will save you time and help you as you are taking your first steps with micro python.
Micropayment OAG is the home of the Michael Python language on the Web.
This is where you can find Michael Python firmware for the support boards, links to the documentation,
a discussion forum and a store from where you can purchase PI boards.
I've prepared a separate lecture where I discuss supported hardware as opposed to any hardware related
questions.
For now in this course will be spending a lot of time browsing the documentation and I'll talk about
that shortly.
I do encourage you to sign up for an account to the Market Python Forum where you can participate in
relevant discussions.
The forums, including the one dedicated to the E.S.P thirty two, is very busy with multiple new discussion
threads almost daily.
As I mentioned a minute or so ago, we'll be spending a lot of time browsing through the Michael Python
Documentation Documentation website is hosted Underdog's Dot, Michael Python, Torchy.
It contains details about the python libraries, the language and implementation.
In almost every case.
The documentation provides a detailed definition of every function and class, as well as simple examples
of how to use it.
The limitation covers the Python standard libraries and make a python specific libraries as well as
libraries specific to the piebald weepie ESP a 266 NDP 32 boards.
The micro python documentation focuses on topics specific to micro python because the micro python syntax,
language and programming philosophy comes from Python.
You'll need to refer to the Python documentation from time to time.
For example, if you don't remember how to initiate a tuple, then you can quickly look it up in Python.
The limitation you'll find this at Doakes taught Python Oji for three and then click on the language
reference link.
Margaret Python, as with Python, has a substantial library of packages created by its community of
programmers.
A repository where you can find many of those packages is the Python package index at peepy dot org.
The Python package index contains packages designed for seed python and micro python.
So you need to be a little careful when you search.
Often packages written in micro python indicate that in the title.
So, for example, a micro python package for the 12 sensor can be found by searching for Micro Python
DHT 12 to distinguish it from either packages written for other platforms, such as which is a Python
package that works on the Raspberry Pi computer.
Of course, even when you find a package that specifically indicates it is written form like a python,
you need to check it, that it supports your hardware target, not all of them do.
OK.
Then we've got awesome Michael Pathum, and that's an awesome name, by the way, and that's a curated
list of libraries for micropayment specifically.
That's unlike the Python package index that we looked at a minute ago.
In most cases, when I'm hunting for a micro python library, I go to Awesome Micro Python first.
They curated list contains libraries grouped according to their purpose.
You'll find libraries for it and quiddity communications displays like the paper and LCD, GPO and input
output, libraries, all kinds of sensors, schedules, storage and much more.
But as with the Python package index, once you find a library that looks promising, you need to take
a closer look and ensure that it will work with your microcontroller of choice.
This information is not always readily available in the library supplementation.
In many cases you'll have to download the library and test it on your device just to make sure that
is compatible with it.
OK, that's about it with suggested resources.
There is one more lecture in this section before we get started with the first hands on activity in
the next lecture.
Talk about the lack control of laws that are compatible with Microplace.
