Abstract

The paper is focused on the possibilities of using high-level language - Python in the development of IoT applications. Described are the basic features of the MicroPython implementation and its use in the development of peripherals on the STM32 class microcontroller platform, as well as the possibilities of modification and extension of the standard implementation. Further are mentioned terms of code portability, modularity, flexibility, scalability and expandability significant for MicroPython applications.
