possibility of adding python libraries to arduino

Projects General Guidance

Hello All,

I want to link python libraries to my Arduino project. So can anyone tell me whether it is possible or not?

Not. Sorry.

Some boards which can be used with Arduino can also be used with Python, such as ESP8266, ESP32 and some "Express" boards from AdaFruit. Perhaps these will be compatible with the Python libraries you want to use. This is not the best forum to ask such questions. Maybe try the AdaFruit forums.

Unfortunately not for the common Arduino boards like the Uno or Mega but that being said support is coming soon, the new Arduino IDE Pro will support Python and other popular languages, as well as other cool features like break points.

I presume that will not apply to Unos, Megas etc?

I would presume not as well, Python in a mere 2K of RAM ?

However the BBC Microbit does manage it in 16K of RAM .......................

Believe it when I see it.
For the education market, micropython boards already exist and Adafruit already has that market sewn up.

Historically a small number of official Arduino boards have had hardware debugger support, but this wasn't supported in the IDE, and the boards were often discontinued without a suitable drop in replacement being announced. Was there a strategy or not - who knows?

If you look on the Arduino store today, the most popular board is still the Uno. In the education market price is everything and the few students who get beyond the 'blink an LED' stage complete their projects by copying and pasting code found on the internet. In order to debug something you first have to have an idea of what the code is doing and in most cases they have no idea.
