Pycom ecosystem makes IoT development easy.
|
|
|
|
* Choose [IoT hardware](products) which fit your project requirements.
|
|
|
|
* Install Pymakr plugin in [Atom](https://atom.io/packages/pymakr) or [VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pycom.Pymakr) and start with your IoT project in seconds.
|
|
|
|
* Write [MicroPython](https://micropython.org/) code and up to three times faster compared to C/C++.
|
|
|
|
* Send data to [Pybytes IoT platform](https://pybytes.pycom.io/?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=getting-started-top) or use your device standalone with the range of supported networks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## [Setting up the hardware](gettingstarted/connection)
|
|
Firstly we will cover how to connect the module to your computer either via USB or WiFi.
|
|
Secondly, we will explain how to connect various accessories such as antennas or SIM cards to your module.
|
|
|
|
## [Setting up your computer and Pymakr plugin](gettingstarted/installation)
|
|
You will need to install some software on your computer to interface with it.
|
|
The second part of this guide will guide you through installing drivers and performing firmware updates for your module/accessories.
|
|
And how to set up the Pymakr plugins and other software use to program your device.
|
|
|
|
## [MicroPython crash course](/gettingstarted/programming)
|
|
Now that you have a connected module and all the required software installed it is time to begin programming your device.
|
|
This part of the guide will get you started with a basic example and point you in the right direction for getting your device connected to your chosen network.
|
|
|
|
## [Connecting to Pybytes IoT platform](pybytes/introduction)
|
|
Connect your device to [Pybytes](https://pybytes.pycom.io/?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=getting-started-bottom) with Wi-Fi, LoRa or Sigfox. Send data from your device just with one line command.
|
|
Update your firmware over the air and integrate with third-party services like AWS.
|
|
|
|
## [Connecting to your custom IoT platform](/gettingstarted/registration)
|
|
Connect your device to your own IoT platform with one of the advertised wireless networks.
|
|
This usually requires some registration. This step will detail how to get registered and connected to various wireless networks.
