Programski jezik MicroPython na mikrokrmilnikih ARM Cortex-M4

BRAJNIK, MARK (author), Vrabič, Rok (mentor), Butala, Peter (co-mentor)

V sklopu diplomske naloge je narejen pregled programskega jezika MicroPython in primerjava z najpogosteje uporabljenima programskima jezikoma za mikrokrmilnike. MicroPython smo uporabili za programiranje razvojne plošče Nucleo L476RG. Opravili smo namestitev MicroPython strojno-programske opreme na razvojno ploščo Nucleo L476RG, primerjali hitrost izvajanja programske kode z Arduinom Uno ter prikazali uporabo MicroPythona in Arduina na primerih sledilnega robota in PID krmiljenja elektromotorja. Kljub precej počasnejšemu izvajanju programske kode je MicroPythonova prednost predvsem v hitrosti izdelave programske kode in preprostosti programskega jezika, kar je v pomoč predvsem začetnikom.

Abstract

In this thesis, the MicroPython programming language is reviwed and compared with the most frequently used microcontroller programming languages. MicroPython is used to program the Nucleo L476RG development board. The installation of MicroPython firmware on the Nucleo L476RG development board is presented. The speed of execution of the code is compared with Arduino Uno microcontroller. The use of MicroPython and Arduino is demonstrated in the case of line following robot and the case of PID control of an electric motor. In spite of the much slower execution of the code, MicroPython's advantage is above all in the speed of programming and the simplicity of the programming language, which is particularly benefical for beginners.
