MicroPython with Matt Trentini

About this episode

Matt Trentini discusses the advantages of using MicroPython in embedded development, particularly in medical devices.

We talk with Matt Trentini, Principal Software Engineer at Planet Innovation, about using MicroPython for professional embedded development—including medical devices. Matt shares how he was drawn back to embedded development after becoming jaded with traditional C-based workflows, and explains why MicroPython's interactive REPL and rapid development cycle have become game-changers for his team.
