MicroPython [2] is an software implementation of the Python 3 programming language, written in C, that is optimized to run on a microcontroller.[3][4] It was originally created by the Australian programmer and physicist Damien George, after a successful Kickstarter backed campaign in 2013.[5] While the original Kickstart campaign released MicroPython with a pyboard microcontroller, MicroPython supports a number of ARM based architectures.[6] MicroPython has since been run on Arduino,[7][8] ESP8266,[9] and Internet of things[10][11] hardware. In 2016 a version of MicroPython for the BBC Micro Bit was created as part of the Python Software Foundation's contribution to the Micro Bit partnership with the BBC.[12]

The source code for the project can be found GitHub.[13]
