What did you end up using MicroPython for?
- matt_trentini 4y agoMy company uses it for medical device development, ama if it will help!
- nuclearnice1 4y agoVery cool. Are you prototyping or manufacturing at scale? What kind of sensors have you attached?
- matt_trentini 4y agoManufacturing at scale. Though these are medical - not consumer - devices so we're not talking hundreds of thousands of units. Think high-quality, injection molded, moderately sophisticated devices. Typically hundreds and up to several thousands of units, depending on the project. We use all manner of sensors; temperature, pressure, cap touch, photodiode detection, cameras.
- stinos 4y agoFrontend for writing behavioral experiments. So backend runs C++ signal processing etc, graphics display, or whatever we need, all of that has bindings for MicroPython. Works very well, but: it's still Python. Great, but dynamic so not the best suited for larger applications in my experience - no matter how well-architected the code is. Becomes just really hard to refactor without breaking anything.
