Easy & Powerful Arduino Alternative? #4 Pyboard (MicroPython) Beginner's Guide

In this video we will be having a closer look at the Pyboard in order to find out whether it is a good Arduino alternative. Along the way we will discover all of the features the board comes with and learn quite a bit of MicroPython programming. Bigdaddy: I had my first 4 layer PCB built by JLCPCB because of your sponsorship. They did a fantastic job on those boards! I am very impressed by them.
I m designing another project and will use them again!
This seems like an interesting board. I m very interested in the Arduino port for the libraries. That way, the language changes won t be so severe. Sounds like a great board to experiment with.
Thank you for a great video!

Nice! Maybe a big project with this board and Micropython? I'm starting with Micropython and Can Bus and I don't undestand how you can interact with the board in realtime. I'm trying to read a message, modify and write in other can but I would like to modify these value throw an screen interface or similar. My problem is run the communication and the interface at the same time.

0: 31 you should definitely check out the Teensy 4. 1. If the PyBoard's power amazes you, this puppy will blow your mind
Moreover, I must thank you for something. I long while ago, I tried micropython and was stuck back then with a REPL environment, which was so painful to develop with. The way the Pyboard works is definitely a plus, I really want to try one of these!

I never understood why MicroPython exists, I mean it literally does nothing in anyway better than tools we already have. Almost everything it does it does worse than what already exists. STM32 & ESP32 Visual Studio Community + Visual Micro, program with full C++. But I have only been a professional programmer for 20+ years, what do I know?

I thought that I would stick with Arduino no matter what because it's based on C and most importantly, I didn't want to learn a new language like Python and rather stick with C-related stuff. But after watching this video, I think I should give Python a try.
If anyone asks, this is the reason for me learning Python

Can we have tutorial on nrf52832 based smart watch design programmed via micropython?
Not much fully opensource/openhardware designs and firmwares are available.
I don't know how people will agree but lets hope we as a community can make a fully arduino compatible only nrf52832 based smart watch.

adafruit has their own fork of micropython called circuitpython. adafruit also makes boards that are designed for it and make it really easy to use. while the most powerful one may not be as powerful, only 120Mhz. It comes in the same footprint as an arduino nano so i think its pretty cool

Can you make a motion controll project were multiple servo/stepper motor can sync up with a rotary encoder? might also be nice if it has an electronic/virtual gear ratio on different motors. It would also be nice if you can just use something an arduino.

This looks like a great board, but isn't it a little on the expensive side, especially when compared with for instance the ESP32 which runs microPython easily - and has wifi and bluetooth to boot?

stm32F4 is common microcontroller for flight controller
spracingf4, omnibus F4, Matefk F4, and so more
they have really fast refresh rate necessary for fast corrections in flight
