Editor
An in-page editor that talks to the playgrounds will land here. Until then, these are the tools people actually use.
| Tool | Role | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Thonny | Beginner IDE, REPL, plotter, optional debugger on supported builds | thonny.org |
| mpremote | Official CLI: copy files, mount, mip, REPL | docs |
| VS Code + Pico-W-Go / MicroPico | Edit on the laptop, sync to the board | VS Code marketplace |
| rshell / ampy | Older file-copy tools; mpremote replaces most of this | PyPI |
| micro:bit Python editor | Flash hex to a micro:bit from the browser | python.microbit.org |
| PyScript | MicroPython in a web page (no GPIO) | pyscript.net |
