In this recipe, we will look at some of the basics of MicroPython. This will give you a clear understanding of the structure and different features of the MicroPython programming environment.
MicroPython is basically Python with some additional libraries to control boards. It comes with an interactive prompt known as the MicroPython Interactive Interpreter mode or Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL). REPL runs and imports scripts from the built-in filesystem. It also comes with several features that enhance your coding experience. These features include:
Auto-indent
Auto-completion
Interrupting a running program
Paste mode
Soft reset
Special variable
Raw mode
