Just Finished My Python Course : Can you run Pythin directly on any Arduino?

21 Feb 2020

I have just finished my Introduction to Python Course put on by FutureLearn which was not too difficult and I think I might have learnt something. Now I want to try out a few things - I still do not know how to blink a LED in Python yet.

 

What I would like to do is to run Python programmes (scripts?) directly on an Arduino. I have looked on Google and so far I have not found anything that indicates it might be possible. I know that Python is interpreted but does anyone know if there is a powerful enough Arduino that has had Python ported to it? I know the Raspberry has and probably other boards as well.

 

Dubbie

 

PS My Java course, also on FutureLearn started this week, hopefully learning two languages in such a short time will not be too confusing.

    Hi dubbie , I don't have an exact date but I know this will be a pretty big deal when its released: Arduino Portenta H7 Powered by STM32H7 Supports Python and Javascript Out of the Box! We will be carrying…

    It takes a while to get to the point but your link is about running Python on a PC and it talking to an Arduino: However, there are some approaches you can take to use Arduino with Python or other languages…

    I'd missed that one - Circuit Python isn't complete actual Python but it does have the compiler running on the micro so it may well do what Dubbie wants.

    Dave,

     

    It looks like a SAMD21 board (MKR Zero?) might be able to run Circuit Python directly. I think I now need to find out what Circuit Python and probably Micro Python ate now to see if this is what I want to do.

    Michael,

     

    Circuit Python does look like something I will have to try out.
