F1 Smart Module
MicroPython

MicroPython Application Development on F1

 

Device Programming via UART

  • By default, the F1 Smart Module runs an interactive python REPL (Read-Eval-Print-Loop) on UART0 which is connected to P0 (RX) and P1 (TX) running at 115200 baud.
  • The Module can be connected via a development board or any USB UART adapter. Code can be run via the REPL and the SG Wireless CtrlR. Visual Studio Code plug-in can also be used to upload code to the board.

MicroPython Capability – REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop)

The MicroPython-ready SGW3501 Module carries the REPL shell that that can execute codes in realtime, as well as enable section-by-section of code execution through a copy-and-paste function, both of which facilitate real-time debugging and instant application code prototyping.
