Help
i was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to install this (https://codewith.mu/) python editor on the steam deck. Or if you have any other suggestions for better editors.

How do I make a light flash?
You literally plug the microcontroller into your USB on your PC and it shows up as a teeny-tiny USB flash drive, with "main.py" as a file. Edit the file with any text editor (but I recommend using Mu as it has a built-in serial console to the Python engine, auto-complete, and syntax highlighting) and once you save the file, the microcontroller detects the change and reboots, running the new code.

What language should I teach my little sister
I recommend the Mu code editor because it's simple but has better UI than IDLE. But if they aren't going to be intimidated by its complexity, VS Code is good too. It sounds silly, but having a cool hacker-y looking IDE with colorful syntax highlighting does motivate people to code.

When or why would I want to move on from Mu?
I'm reading Automate the Boring Stuff with Python and he has you use and install Mu which is meant for beginners. Last time I attempted this book I was using VIM in the Linux terminal because I was trying to learn Linux at the same time (Mu kept crashing anyway). This time I'm using Mu like the book wants (although sometimes he says "type this in IDLE" which is confusing) and it is a lot easier learning Python this way: https://codewith.mu/

Problem with downloading pygame on Mac
I've found for beginner coders using codewithmu helps, because it has Pygame built in and is an easy install on Mac. https://codewith.mu/

Lilygo T-Deck: 2.8-inch IPS LCD display, mini keyboard, and ESP32 processor
Gah, I just ordered one on impulse [1]. I've wanted to build out a WiFi PDA for quite some time now and I like this hardware.
I'm quite liking the idea of running tulip MicroPython [2] on it, or going back to pure MicroPython [3] and writing some drivers. Apparently something like ampy can be used to upload/download Python files [4].
Threads could be quite exciting for running multiple programs at once [5], although I have no idea what it means for two programs to fight over GPIO! It does seem as though MicroPython can only utilise a single core [6].

about microprocessor
If you really want to engage in the travesty that is shoehorning a high level scripting language into an environment that has 512 bytes of RAM and less clock cycles than an electric toothbrush, there is micropython.

Ask HN: Embedded Scripting Options for Microcontrollers
Needed for hobby project, maintained by very small team. Haven't decided on specific microcontroller. Needed for general bit-banging, speed and code size are not priorities.
So far have considered MicroPython [0] [1] and Lua [2] [3], but open for suggestions for others.
What are experiences?
