[Microbit-Python] Sprint with MicroPython on ESP8266 and BBC microbits

Mon Oct 31 12:33:35 EDT 2016

Hi Nicholas,

Were you running the ESP8266 stand alone using micro python or did you have it hooked up to a micro:bit?

I think Marc-Andre was looking to drive it from a micro:bit but having not looked into the ESP8266 in detail I don't know if the best way for the micro:bit to control it would be via I2C, UART or some other way.

MicroPython already runs directly on the ESP8266... I was using a couple
of weeks ago in a class Radomir ran at PyCon Poland. It's awesome!
