What is PySerial library?

PySerial is a library which provides support for serial connections (“RS-232”) over a variety of different devices: old-style serial ports, Bluetooth dongles, infra-red ports, and so on. It also supports remote serial ports via RFC 2217 (since V2. 5).

Is Python good for Arduino?

The Arduino IDE does not yet support Python. Instead, we can use OpenMV, a platform that supports programming Arduino boards with MicroPython. Through the OpenMV editor, we can install MicroPython, and upload scripts directly to the board. There’s also a number of examples available directly in the editor.

What microcontrollers use Python?

It was initially offered on the STM32-based pyboard platform but has since been ported to a number of microcontrollers, including those based on the STM32, Teensy, ESP32 and ESP8266, and BBC Micro Bit. Most recently, it has been officially supported by the $4 Raspberry Pi Pico board.
