Overview

Awesome MicroPython is an open, community-maintained "awesome list" that aggregates high-quality MicroPython-related projects and references. It focuses on tools and code that run on microcontrollers using MicroPython, covering a broad ecosystem around embedded Python and IoT development.

MicroPython itself is a lean and efficient implementation of Python 3, including a small subset of the standard library and optimized for constrained hardware.

  • Organized collection of third‑party libraries for MicroPython.
  • Multiple topical sections (as indicated by headings), including for example:
    • AI-related libraries (e.g., basic ML/AI tooling suited to microcontrollers).
    • Audio-related libraries (e.g., sound generation, playback, or DSP on MicroPython boards).
    • Communications libraries (e.g., networking, serial, wireless modules).
  • Notes on other places to look for MicroPython libraries, including use of pip install where applicable.

• Frameworks and Software
