The blog is written by our tech-team with Andreas Schmidt, CTO of ThingForward. He and his crew are always happy to “talk tech” with you. If you have any questions or comments please get in touch.
At ThingForward, we are testing new IoT solutions in order to provide solid support to our customers’ needs, and at our developer workshops, we’ve been using NodeMCU’s ESP8266 and the Grove Connector/Shield system for quite some time now. We still needed a Grove Base Shield for the new ESP32 but could not find it. So we decided to PCB-design our own :) Read our story about it here.
Scripting languages on Embedded Devices - this should sound appealing to web developers as well, since they’re quite used to dynamic languages such as Javascript or Python. Why not have them on constrained devices as well?
Today we will focus on Python by using Zerynth IDE. Zerynth provides tools and services for programming professional microcontrollers in Python for embedded and IoT applications. We show how to get started.
At ThingForward, we’re looking at embedded programming from a multilingual perspective, inspired by and with the background of multiple years of web development.
Programming for embedded is truly different: Very close to the hardware, with very limited capabilities, with no operating system or very slim OS functionality.
If you want to use dynamic languages on small devices, where could you look?
This is the seconds part of our Cloud IDE Testing Blog Posts, where we're taking a look at CodeEnvy.
Lately we have been looking at cloud services for software development. Regarding developing web applications, using cloud services for various aspect of the software development process is nothing really new. But we're also interested in IoT and Embedded Development, so we like to find out if that's doable as well.
