See Python array for more information.

Classes

class array.array(typecode, [iterable])

Create array with elements of given type. Initial contents of the array are given by an iterable. If it is not provided, an empty array is created. Supported format codes:

• b: signed char, 1 byte
• B: unsigned char, 1 byte
• h: signed short, 2 bytes
• H: unsigned short, 2 bytes
• i: signed int, 2 bytes
• I: unsigned int, 2 bytes
• l: signed long, 4 bytes
• L: unsigned long, 4 bytes
• q: signed long long, 8 bytes
• Q: unsigned long long, 8 bytes
• f: foat, 4 bytes
• d: double, 8 bytes

Adapting the type code to the array-type you want to create can save a lot of space on the microcontroller.

Append new element to the end of array, growing it.

array.extend(iterable)
