I've played with micropython on an esp8266 board, this one in specific: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-huzzah-esp8266-breakout/overview https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-huzzah-esp8266-breakout/... and it is quite nice, although it still lacks much of stdlib as it all has to be written from scratch.
That being said, the project is fantastic and they're on github, so send them pull requests:
https://github.com/micropython/micropython https://github.com/micropython/micropython
- pfalcon 11y agoThere's also pretty large subset of stdlib available: https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib . But it's targeted primary at Unix port - you can install it even on a low-cost Linux board with 4MB of Flash (~1MB free space after Linux kernel and minimal userspace), and rock away!
- SEJeff 11y agoAny chance that the esp8266 port will be improved to be a bit more stable? I'm happy to send you some huzzah boards (seriously) if you want to work on it.
- pfalcon 11y agoThanks, I have full drawer of boards ;-). If only I had enough time to work on them. esp8266 port progresses, but quite slowly. We need more people to contribute (spreading a word is helpful). Another option to give it more momentum is some company to sponsor it, or Kickstater organized. Let me know if you have any ideas/interest, otherwise, well, feel free to keep that in mind in case suitable occasion comes out later. Thanks!
