MicroPython Editors
These editors have been created by Damien George, the father of MicroPython. They allow existing Kookaberries and other single board computers (SBC’s) such as the Pico using the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller chip to be programmed in MicroPython either visually using blocks, or by text.
The instructions (the firmware) required to compile the text or blocks into machine language is downloaded to the SBC, whilst the editors have to be downloaded to a PC or Mac. Once downloaded, no internet connection is required to programme the SBC’s.
KookaBlocs
This is a cloud-based visual editor incorporating familiar block categories and features from KookaBlockly. It includes a virtual window which mirrors what would be seen on the screen of a Kookaberry.
KookaCode
This a cloud based text editor currently in Beta mode. It includes a virtual window which mirrors what would be seen on the screen of a Kookaberry.
