Start micropython on Arduino GIGA

This tutorial is a beginner’s guide to micropython on Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi board. There are some important prerequisites that must be fulfilled:
- loading the bootloader for micropython
- selecting an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to run micropython scripts
The example in this tutorial is limited to the traditional LED blink exercise. The on-board LED on GIGA displays Red, Green and Blue colors.
The assistance from @knard and @psoderby was instrumental in starting this tutorial.

Sir, I was harsh in other videos, as no other video or even the arduino site gave instructions of this quality, instructions that actually work. This is the first video explaining EXACTLY how to setup micro python. I thank you for this, please view my harsh comments in other videos not aimed at you, but rather that the documentation is vague and do not enable the use or setup of the basics so that the board can be used. This is an excellent board.
Thank you for this, I hope you get more subscribers. I believe this board to be a key point in the IoT world, but shoddy docs and less tha helpful forums created a huge frustration.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hello , great video , thank you so much!! Could you say me if the giga board using micropython support CAN bus like others stm32 MCU ? Is not so cheap board and the information is not so much for micropython applications i will thank you if you can say me if support CAN bus ( for example the pyboard f405 = pyb.CAN )
Thank you so much !!!

The GIGA board has two dedicated CAN bus pins: CAN_H (PD5) and CAN_L (PD4). It does not require an external transceiver! Let me explore because I have never tried it before. Thanks for your question.

@@MathaGoram thank you so much for respone . I have seen some boards build in can bus for C or C++ can be used but the micropython not "include" the class CAN. for example stm32411, 12, esp32 and others ...
I'm working whit CAN bus protocol using stm32f405 , 407 . I'm looking for some MCU faster than F4 series , you will help me so much if check direct if the GIGA support uPy CAN
THANKS 👍🏻

@@hpsmexico3497, as you are well aware, CAN Bus is dominated by OBD and industrial strength ($$) sensors. Most CAN Bus enabled products for IoT use an interface module (not needed for GIGA) to work with I2C & SPI on the sensors themselves - not really a good way for me to introduce the topic. I've ordered a 2nd GIGA so that I can demonstrate a GIGA-to-GIGA communication using pure CAN Bus. It'll take a few weeks to get there since the product is on back order. Stay tune. Thanks.
