Interactive

About

This application is a Python interpreter!

When the application starts it tries to run the script main.py from the file system. After the script ends the Python interactive interpreter is started.

The serial port baudrate is 38400.

Example script

Here is an example of how to write a script main.py using the interpreter.

1. Start the serial monitor.

2. Create main.py and write print('Hello World!\n') to it. This file will be executed everytime the board starts.

   >>> with open("main.py", "w") as f:
   ...     f.write("print('Hello World!\n')")
   >>>
   

3. Restart the board and you’ll see Hello World! on the screen!
