_"168MHz clock speed"_
Meh..
_"1MB memory"_
Okay..
_"32-bit timer"_
Fine, I guess..
_"3 on-board LEDs"_
*Now that's what I'm talking about! Now I can flex in front of my friends with my advanced, triple blinking LED program!*
Haha :-)
The Arduino Micro has 3 onboard LEDs too and they're all programmable :)
For reference those are LED_BUILTIN (pin 13), LED_BUILTIN_TX and LED_BUILTIN_RX (also the SS pin). Should also note that those will still flash when you use the serial monitor and the only way to disable that would be to modify the firmware and delete the code that handles the RX/TX LED flashing.
@HollyT Yes 😂😂😂😂
Guy an extensible memory with sd!
@HollyT Laughs in Intel 1,830MHz
Waoh! I was looking for an arduino alternative. This video came in just the right time!
You're welcome ;-)
@@greatscottlab please tell us how to use oscilloscope please i from indian watch all ur video i your fan tq but please do video on osliscope operating
@@DownTownDowns python isn't slow, it takes a bit more memory but python calls to C and is just as fast.
@@swatantratech5732 ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=oscilloscope+tutorial There are already a lot of great videos on oscilloscope operation, check out the one by mjlorton, i think it was the first suggestion too and it's really well made so you can follow it easily.
@@vatterger - yeah I can also vouch for mjlorton, his oscilloscope video is intense. I eventually unsubbed his channel tho, *way* too dry and everything was a "deep dive"... _he fried my ADD_ hehelol 🤭
Thank you for posting! Within the last week I started my journey of learning Python. This couldn't have come at a better time.
This is an amazing board. Specs got me thinking of projects for my channel. Keep up the great work Mr. Scott.
Nice to meet you again Great Scott ☺️
Was just looking for a guide on pyboard and this video came in! Thank you, Great Scott!
Perfect timing, just poured my coffee, 'lets get started'.. 🤘😁
Wan and I accidentally poured my coffee on my sister
🤣🤣🤣
@@dr.sreepriyad8253 ouch lol Just watch for when she pays you back for that one 🤪
Your channel is Great knowledge source, i learned alomst 90% of my electronics, phisics and even a lot of english from you Thanks so much for want to share your knowledge with us, I really respect such people
That board may be just perfect for the air combat sim cockpit I want to build! Even though it's bigger and more expensive it's higher clock speed, more memory and greater amounts of IO could amount to a cheaper solution in the long run. Great video as usual!
This was very interesting, and good to see you enjoying learning something new 😉
I normally use uPy on ESP8266 & ESP32. They just cost 3-4USD but with wifi & Bluetooth connection capability
Same, they are my 2 favorite microcontrollers
me too. upy on a ESP32 is awesome
whoa
ElectroBOOM and GreatScott! upload videos at the same day
love it
yeah! I just watched his video making 500.000 volts LOL
@@dieselgeezer18 and waiting for that arc to jumo to his body
@@ebrocoliphoto lol
you are one of my subscribed youtuber whose video i first like and than watch keep making such educational videos they really inspire alot
Scott, this board sports an STM32F405 chip. You can use the Arduino platform to program it if you want to. It is nice to learn MicroPython, but I just wanted to point that out
I had my first 4 layer PCB built by JLCPCB because of your sponsorship. They did a fantastic job on those boards! I am very impressed by them.
I’m designing another project and will use them again!
This seems like an interesting board. I’m very interested in the Arduino port for the libraries. That way, the language changes won’t be so severe. Sounds like a great board to experiment with.
Thank you for a great video!
Great to hear!
@@greatscottlabHi scott.plsssssss...make a vedio about arduino starter kit with some examples. Thank you...
Awesome, finally my python skills make some sense in the microcontroller programming world
Great video GreatScott! I too am partial to my Arduino Boards, and have been tempted to try out Micro Python. Will definitely give it a try in the near future. 👍🏻
Looking forward to more videos on this board!
For lower power consumption chec L series of stm32.
I would like to point out an ESP32 dev board with micropython called "Tiny Pico" to your viewers, the easy to use WIFI might be interesting to them, great video...cheers.
Thanks for the info!
You can with a few lines of code in C++ have wifi up and running. It's nothing too complicated and won't eat up all the storage of your little device. Python tends to be a massive hog when it comes to resources compared to C++ especially if you know that python is interpreted to C++ and adds a large amount of code for memory management.
@@kazykamakaze131 MicroPython is based in standard CPython, isn't based in C++. In micropython your write less than C++ but the use of ram is high.
@@javierolavarria C and C++ is basically the same thing since you can write C in C++ but not the other way around, so technically it is written in C++ as well. Also, you still sit with the exact same problem with memory allocation that needs to be cleaned regardless of what you say a python program will be larger and slower than a written C/C++ program, if you do not believe me make a program, compile and test compared to Python equivalent. You would have known this if you knew how garbage collection works in the first place.
@@kazykamakaze131 In practice, dev time is usually more valuable than hardware resources.
Since I really like Python, this looks like a fun board to check out
Love your work man. Good to see you playing with Micropython. It’s beautiful. Hope to see great projects from you using micropython boards
adafruit has their own fork of micropython called circuitpython. adafruit also makes boards that are designed for it and make it really easy to use. while the most powerful one may not be as powerful, "only" 120Mhz. It comes in the same footprint as an arduino nano so i think its pretty cool
There is also a Pyboard Mini which is quite close in size to the Arduino Nano, based on STM32F411CET5, 512KB flash, 128KB RAM
Filesystem programming AND built-in serial out of the box? That's definitely an easy start board!
nice! how is the overhead with micropython in comparison to arduino?
Really awesome product i am waiting you new videos about it and i will buy one so soon keep discovering bro
You can also use MicroPython with esp8266 and esp32, I have DIY home automation running on these.
Great video keep up the good work!!
Thanks, very well-done video! What about a repeat with the Raspberry pi pico that came out today for 4$?
Does it have SWD pins exposed to flash (and do other SWD things) it with programs written in C/C++ or Arduino 🤔
Thanks! This was a great intro.
What's the max frequency of a sine wave it can generate with its DAC?
Any possibility of debugging with break points, etc.? If not STM's development tools seem a better choice.
Can we use micropython for Bluepill board ????
Finally!!! ))
As for price, you can use esp32/8266 and port micropython on it. Works very well. Also powerful, but much cheaper.
Thanks as always.
Pretty interesting board! Looks like an old flight controller! 😂
Great review, dude!!!
Stay safe and creative there! 🖖😊
Thanks, you too!
There are a lot of stm32 family micro controller boards available at the Internet suppliers. And you should try to programm it by free system workbench or cube from st. Surely, these boards are much more greater than Arduino ones. And Python is a great language, but it requires a lot of resources comparing to c++.
Very nice job. Thanks for the education....
Can you make a motion controll project were multiple servo/stepper motor can sync up with a rotary encoder?might also be nice if it has an electronic/virtual gear ratio on different motors. It would also be nice if you can just use something an arduino.
Great walkthrough
Thanks for sharing :-)
Great and Nicely explaination
"puddy" 3:33 hahhha xd
Lolol
"Pooty" lolol that's a different kind of thing
I will never pronounce Putty the same after this. Pooty is the new word.
Exactly!
Pooty is what you get on your finger when wiping your butt with cheap toilet paper

Thanks for the video @GreatScott! At 3:52 you say you downloaded the latest firmware version, and it looks like you went to the micropython site but then 4:05 you said you went to the board manufacturer's site and downloaded something from there too. Then flashed the board with that second file using their DfuSe_Demo tool. Question: Did you do anything with the first file?
"Impressive. Most Impressive.'" Thanks for the video. GR8 Info! And also FOSS?
Can it out three sine wave signals
Hello, i cant find your compare chart in your description.
Great video as always.... I value great information sharing and have no issues on how certain words are pronounced as I have great respect for a great guy like GREAT SCOTT... Thank you... As for those Sylvesters, go watch your cartoon...
I recoment to check Micropython for ESP32 and also how to connect it with Jupyter Notebook. This is a briliant combination!
You may try to code on vscode, it is light (not as light as np++ ), it will help you debbuging your python code 😉
Thanks for the tip :-)
Have a look to vscodium, vscode without the microsoft's dubious code...
I use it with the platformio extension, it is great !
+1 for VSCode. I use it for all my development, from Blender C/C++/Python development to embedded ATmega/ATtiny C stuff.
@@gogny7665 I use Atom because of the code from Microsoft but Plattform IO has many issues with Atom. I didn't know such thing as vscodium existed so i might give it a try. Thanks for the info.
@@gogny7665 I'm not worried about Microsoft telemetry. I use Pihole DNS server. It blocks malware and spyware including Microsoft telemetry endpoints. It does a big job of keeping viruses and spyware off the rest of the family's computers too.
Great Scott! Time for a new video :)
Could you do a video about sound-based trilateration in 3D space?
I've thought about using buzzers and sound sensors with an Arduino to track an autonomous little robot inside a room by measuring the time the sound takes to get through the room from the robot to the sensors, pretty much like GPS, but I don't know whether this would even be feasible. Have you ever tried something like that?
Please have a look at the Teensy 4 lineup. Really worth a try, especially with all the new features and projects it is able to power :)
Thanks, made another online purchase today, after watching this video 😀
I like your each and every videos
Great Great Scott👍👍
Hey Great Scott Can you do power bank x6 18650 that charge faster and using only 12v adapter
Im tempted to buy one and plug it into Betaflight to see if I can get it to work 🤔
Scott! Can you do a video to explain how to use RTOS in any of the dev boards?. If so it would be a great help!
oh lovely! micro socs getting exciting.
Hey, is it possible to make some other micropython content in the future? I'm very interrested about it!
is it possible to put 3 raspberry pi zero or zero w in a 10' table and have them works as one machine.
This seems pretty competitive...
is micro python tough?
@@varuns150 Tough? If you know the general principals of other programming languages (micro)Python is not very hard to learn. I taught myself microPython last year and I've moved completely away from Arduino for ESPxxx programming.
Micropython is insane. Nice video!
if it works with the nextion screens i may switch to this one stead of the 2560 mega pro for my terrarium controller project.
I was waiting for the pins on this thing,Isnt it all about the pins?
Please make more tutorials with different sensors
Liked your content 😍😍
I often wonder why folks select the Arduino over the ESP8266/NodeMCU/Wemos Mini D1 boards?
Can it utilize the USB port for user applications or only for development?
Do you have an opinion on MicroPython vs CircuitPython (by Adafruit)?
what are these new felt tip pens? I WILL NOT HAVE IT
That's a 12-bit DAC at 2.4 MSPS. You can always dither the output and lowpass filter it to obtain a higher effective number of bits.
Finally..! Please demonstrate some project using MIcroPython for ARM controllers.
Much appreciated
Why not RISC-V
Would be cool if you showed the original pyboard to help support the project
Find out more on STMs official dpcumentation. Note that asynchronous programming and multithreading are supported as well. What a joy!

Can you make a power backup for wifi modem/router ??...it's 12v
1:11 Is the "USR" button burnt? :-o
STM32s are another level I love them
It is like common programming in c just using register address nice I prefer that option it's is harder to learn but gives more options
I would recommend vs code for python (with the python extension of course). notepad ++ is just a bit to basic.
You should check out some Kendryte K210 boards from Sipeed. Their Maix boards normally run MicroPython like this one but it has a dual core RISC-V rv64gc CPU with an AI accelerator and 8mb of RAM so you can run any code compiled for RISC-V that doesn't use an MMU. They're around the same price as that board you just got. Some variants also have Wifi, TFT connector, and a camera connector
Adafruit has many sensor and actuator libraries for CircuitPython that are compatible with MicroPython and your microcontroller.
Can you please make a tutorial series on this board? Thanks!
How about a vid doing this in assembly? It is fast enough to simulate other devices, seems to have as many pins as a mega2560? Wish there was a faster mega2560 that is still a 5v device.
good board but is it support arduino IDE with normal C language ?
Thanks for sharing this! Do you need to have an SD card fitted in order to program this board?
No
I imagine him now reviewibg Nucleo boards even though they are already relatively well known among the community
nice timing. i did a lab on micropython with an esp32 not long ago too
Nice!
Was there SWD pins available?
ST sent me a few samples of this chip i the spring. It is feature packed and if I remember correctly it is supposed to be used as a motor controller with built in MCU.
hi scott I have problem my helicopter transmitter are not working and I opened it then the problem is the 3 ir led the of led is so very rusty and the pin of led is got broken can I buy or get in tv remote
Hi. I would love to see "DIY or Buy" episode about Wi-Fi antenna or signal booster. I think im not alone :)
U know ure not alone - Alan walkee
How do they write a library for new part?
The serial connection to an interactive python shell for arduino is already there its called tinyBasic+
Did you sware your partnership with the JLCPCB for the eternity?😂😂
Maybe.....
Its getting annoying
To be fair they're a _great_ mfg/assembly house!
@@cheaterman49 i literally have a script which presses the L key after the intro and it auto skips the advert without fail! Thats how consistent he is!
@@cheaterman49 i know i was just kidding😜❤ hes putting in alot of effort for us.
Indonesia is here watching again :)
At the moment I use ESP32 with PlatformIO IDE (a prety nice plugin on visual code), perhaps you can make a video comparing ESP32 and this board. With FreeRtos, you can use multitasking.
168 MHz, 1MB RAM. I guess I can blink those 3 leds really fast
the esp32-C3 is RISC-5 and a beast as well.
What is the best way to run a visual machine learning. Can any Arduino run this kind of visual learning
