Introduction: MicroPython and UPyCraft on ESP32

By

Micropython is python's optimize and small footprint of python. Which meant to build for embedded device which has memory constraints and low power consumption.

Micropython is available for many controller families which includes ESP8266,ESP32 and some of nordic's controller.
