The WiPy is an enterprise grade IOT development platform that runs Python in real time with the perfect blend of power, speed, friendliness, and flexibility. Within a few minutes you can wirelessly connect to it and get a Python REPL command line.
In addition to all the hardware specs Pycom developed powerful and intuitive Python API to take advantage of every feature of the hardware. Working with Python on the WiPy feels just like working with Python on a PC.
Features:
MicroPython enabled – you can use a high level language and forget about buffer memory management 10x faster programming
Small and light to fit in any enclosure or project
Fits in a standard breadboard (with headers)
Ultra-low power usage: 850uA with the WiFi connection active
This WiPy compatible Expansion Board brings additional functionality to your IoT project. Simply insert the WiPy into the headers and enjoy all the extra features!
Specifications:
USB and LiPo battery powering
FT234XD USB to serial converter
LiPo battery charger (BQ24040), with 2 different charging options (100mA and 450mA)
TPS2115A with reverse voltage protection
MicroSD card slot
3 female headers to easily plug in the WiPy (WiPy 1.0 and WiPy 2.0) or the LoPy
8-6-2021 (August 6, 2021) is the Snakiest day of the year and it’s also this year’s CircuitPython Day! The day highlights all things CircuitPython and Python on Hardware. See you there!
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
