Does this product still exist?
I am getting Not found regardless of the platform selected when trying to download it from the Software page.
I already use Thonny for RPi products and was interested in trying the equivalent for Arduino boards that might support Micro-Python.
A quick search on here brings up a handful of short and mostly older posts on the subject and since it also doesn't have its own IDE category I was wondering whether it had been dropped?
It is still avbailable, V8 I think.
Thank you. That does take me to a valid page. Looks like the repository has received a contribution a couple of months ago so I guess the project it is still active.
@BitSeeker I think it’s great if you want to take a look at what micropython is all about but if you have worked in Thonny and fell comfortable with Thonny I would probably stay there.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention @BitSeeker. I have notified the developers of the problem with the "Arduino Lab for MicroPython" download links on the "Software" page.
Until the fix is made, anyone who needs to download it can get it from the links on the page @sumguy shared:
I see that the link is now fixed. Thank you.
@sumguy , I might end up sticking with Thonny in the long run as that is what I have learned and know. micro:Bit has an online editor and there is a Vscode plug-in as well. Haven't tried either of those options but was just curious enough to take a look at and try Arduino product.
@BitSeeker I started out with micropython using the BBC micro:Bit and although its a great introduction to Python and microcontrollers I soon found out it was not enough to do the many things I wanted to create.
The Arduino nano ESP32 is a great choice to learn and play around with as is the ESP32 Dev kit range and also the Pi pico 2040 and 2350. If your on a limited budget the ESP32 Devkit or the pico1 are well priced and probably much better than what you have been using.
