The second part of the code dictates the blinking pattern, i.e., how many times the LED should blink and for how long. The project above only works with microcontrollers that have built-in LED lights.

As a result, this project is set up as a how-to for others looking to dive further into the world of microcontrollers that don’t have the same hand-holding setup as the Arduino. To take care of ...

If you’ve ever wanted to program a microcontroller “in the cloud,” you might want to head over to Inventor Town, an online IDE that allows you to write and compile firmware for th… ...

When creating microcontroller firmware, you often need to work with data arrays. Tables make easy work of data arrays, such as those for digital-code transformation, correction for sensor linearity, ...

Evidence of a larger push for simple, instant flashing to microcontrollers without an installed IDE can also be found in the Tessel, a Wi-Fi-enabled board that has made twice its crowdfunding goal ...

Code compiles and runs directly on the microcontroller, not on a host PC. While Micro Python supports a broad range of the language features of both Python 2 and 3, some features are still missing.
