Welcome to the micropython dev wiki! **Welcome to the micropython dev wiki!**
This is the [MicroPython](http://micropython.org/) project, which puts an implementation of Python 3.x on a microcontroller or embedded system. The project also includes a small [microcontroller board](https://github.com/micropython/pyboard) based around the ARM Cortex-M4 chip (STM32F405RG).
This wiki is to support development of the MicroPython core code and the various ports to new hardware/systems.
If you are new to the python programming or want to learn the basics of micropython, check out [[Learn Micropython|Learn Micropython]]. Also check out the [main Micro Python site](http://micropython.org/), where you can find the [forums](http://forum.micropython.org/) where you can ask questions and get help.

If you have a machine that runs some flavor of Unix, see the [[Getting-Started]] instructions on how to obtain the binary to run MicroPython and start developing. MicroPython can also built on MacOSX and Windows.
