Day 2
MicroPythonOS: the best of Android, now on Microcontrollers. AppStore, OTA Updates, Touch Screen, Camera and much more!
<p>MicroPythonOS is the first modern graphical operating system that's addressing the need for a complete, out-of-the-box OS for resource-constrained hardware such as microcontrollers.</p>
<p>It takes heavy inspiration from Android and iOS, with an easy to use appstore, a beautiful LVGL-based touchscreen and button UI with lots of widgets, gestures, theme support, wifi manager and over-the-air updates.</p>
<p>The software stack is fully open-source. This openness stands in contrast to the increasingly restrictive policies of traditional mobile ecosystems, which are increasingly becoming a walled-garden with tight controls on app distribution, content, and monetization.</p>
<p>The OS currently targets the ESP32 family, but it can run on anything that supports MicroPython, including the RP2350. It can also run as a regular desktop application, fullscreen or windowed, which makes app development super short cycle, and debugging much easier.</p>
<p>Hardware support currently includes WiFi, Bluetooth, many Intertial Measurement Units, Camera's, Touch Screens, IO Expanders, Displays, as well as low-level ADC pins, GPIO pins, I2C chips etc.</p>
