Python on a Chip
10. August 2009 - 23:40 — admin
Do you love the Python language? Do you want to program your microcontroller with Python? Try PoaC - Python on a Chip project.
This project's goal is to develop the PyMite virtual machine, device drivers, high-level libraries and other tools to run a significant subset of the Python language on microcontrollers without an OS. Please join the python-on-a-chip google group to discuss this project.
