Preface: I am a beginner.
I have an ESP32 Nano, I loaded MicroPython onto it (I don't want to use C++), and I connected it to the IoT Cloud, and now it's on the network.
The next step would be to load a prepared script (not a sketch) in order to learn how to do it. However, everything is in C++, including the Arduino Web Editor.
Could someone knowledgeable tell me if I made a mistake in thinking that I could use everything that Arduino offers to C++ users with MicroPython as well? This includes the Cloud, especially, or if it's just a matter of time before we see Scripts, Tutorials, and a Web Editor in MicroPython?
Thank you.
Hi @gmbgnn.
"Everything" is a big word. Most likely there will always be things available to C++ users that are not available to MicroPython users.
At a basic level, MicroPython requires a lot of processing resources, so you will never be able to use it on the more limited microcontrollers like the ATmega328P of the UNO R3.
Beyond that, it is likely that you would find that nobody has yet created a MicroPython package equivalent to certain C++ Arduino libraries (of which there are thousands). Conversely, over time we will also probably see the creation of distinctive MicroPython packages for which nobody ever created a C++ library equivalent.

I understand what you mean, you've been clear, it will take some time... but I believe that at least ONE Template in MicroPython could be published, so that even those who, for various reasons, would like to use M.P., could practically see how it's done and get a sense of what would be possible to achieve.
You're welcome

Sorry, Ptillisch, actually here https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/getting-started/iot-cloud-micropython there is an example (Programming the board), but the previous paragraph (Installing The Library) doesn't seem to be aimed at people who are learning MicroPython by reading the Arduino website (and using Arduino Lab for M.P.), but rather at those who are already familiar with Python.
