MicroPython and CircuitPython bring the ease of Python to microcontrollers by adding hardware support! In MicroPython, Python is largely unchanged other than the added functionality to interface with hardware. CircuitPython is a derivative of MicroPython that changes a few things to make the language easier to learn and use. CircuitPython is created and maintained by Adafruit. It\u2019s an education friendly open-source derivative of MicroPython. CircuitPython is supported on Adafruit\u2019s educational development boards. Updates to MicroPython are rolled out to CircuitPython as well.
