Pycom WiPy 3.0

Pycom WiPy 3.0 is an enterprise-grade IoT development platform. The tiny MicroPython-enabled Wi-Fi® and BLUETOOTH® IoT development platform delivers a 1km Wi-Fi range, an Espressif ESP32 chipset, and a dual processor.

Pycom Pymakr IDE (Integrated Development Environment) offers a powerful and intuitive Python API to take advantage of every feature of the hardware. Users can upload their scripts or any other files to the WiPy via an FTP server. The Pycom can be connected to standard breadboards with headers for expansion, and features offers up to 24 GPIO for interface purposes.
