PyDevices

PyDevices is a set of libraries and firmware for people who build things with displays, touch, sound and USB in Python. You write your drawing, widgets and audio code once and run it on a microcontroller board, as a desktop program, inside a web page, or on Android.

This site is the front door to the documentation of every PyDevices project. Each project has its own manual, and the bar at the top of every page takes you to any of them. If you are new, start with the newcomer’s guide; if you want something on your machine, install it.

Try it before you install it

The gallery runs the same example programs that run on boards, in your browser, and Workbench is an editor with a simulated board built in. The main page of each project here also carries a live demo you can edit and run.
