The name makes it seem like it's related to the MicroPython project, rather than just written in it, which feels slightly misleading to me.

It looks really nice, but agreeing on the naming - it's not really an actual OS, more like a dashboard toolkit, or a set of widgets.

Right? If it needs >1MB flash lol no.

Serious recommendation: I would not have R. Kelly anywhere on your project page.

If you’re trying to give a 30 second elevator pitch about what your project does, you should not have a name be a guy spending 30+ years in prison for child sexual abuse.

The R Kelly references show a total lack of social/societal awareness. remove asap

Those tech bros should just...stop.

SBC is already cheap enough that you can throwaway without caring anything. Stop bloating MCU with....useless stuff.

If anyone suggest me "Python in mcu" professionally, i would never be able to trust them again.

The advantage of micropython is that you don't have to deal with all the poorly maintained toolchains and UART and flashing and whatnot; for a novice working on their own, that stuff is a nearly insurmountable barrier. That the syntax is Python doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

I agree though, probably shouldn't be the first choice for a professional application.

MicroPython's a bytecode interpreter so, other than the existing Python ecosystem being a huge boon (popularity being a form of strength), you could get many of the same benefits and more from wasm

I work on the micros that aren’t plugged I to a grid. So solar and batteries and the like. In that world, power consumption is everything. Interrupts and aggressive sleeping of your processor are you biggest tool.

Does anyone have any experience with current draw of typical pieces of “firmware” using this? I see that it’s on the larger side of what feels like micro, BUT tomorrows micro has been growing heaps over yesterdays micros for a long time, so I can ignore that.
