Assembled Pycom WiPy 3.0 with Headers - MicroPython IoT Expansion Board
Description
Discontinued - you can grab the Adafruit ESP32 Feather V2 - 8MB Flash + 2 MB PSRAM - STEMMA QT instead!
Pycom's WiPy 3.0 – a tiny MicroPython-enabled WiFi & Bluetooth IoT development platform. With a 1KM WiFi range, state of the art Espressif ESP32 chipset, and dual processor, the WiPy is all about taking the Internet of Things to the next level. Create and connect your things everywhere. Fast.
Now comes pre-soldered, so no need to power up your soldering station! We also have some without headers attached over here.
Features
- Powerful CPU, BLE, and state of the art WiFi radio
- 1KM WiFi Range
- MicroPython enabled, the Linux of IoT for fast deployment
- Fits in a standard breadboard (with headers)
- Ultra-low power usage: a fraction compared to other connected microcontrollers
- Hardware floating-point acceleration
- Python multi-threading
Version 3.0 gives this little board an extra kick, with a big RAM upgrade, to 4MB, and updating the FLASH to 8MB
And as you know, Pycom has already written a powerful and intuitive Python API to take advantage of every feature of the hardware.
Other WiFi boards are available and you might think, “yet another platform…”, but guess what? It’s not. All Pycom boards run Python and that works just like the Python you are used to working with on a PC. The learning curve is minimal.
Simply put, Pycom boards are all about Python and the Internet, but with rocket fuel.
Check out the tutorials and quickstart guide at Pycom to see how fast it is to get going!
Expansion Board 3.0, Pysense, or Pytrack are not included, but you'll want to pick one up!
We also have the unassembled WiPy 3.0 here.
