ampy - Utility to interact with a MicroPython board over a serial connection.

 

This can be really useful to control the I/O hardware if your control board is running on MicroPython like the Micro:Bit. 

I found ampy was being used by the Hadabot Project used for teaching ROS2. that consisted of an ESP32 Wifi board running ampy, and a simple DC motor controller on a magic chassis , turtle bot robot that is just two motors, a motor driver , and encoders, and a few sensors.  Everything was being over Wifi to be controlled by ROS via the ampy python library which is a cinch to in then map ROS messages in to micropython function calls.

MicroPython Tool (ampy) - Utility to interact with a CircuitPython or MicroPython board over a serial connection.

Ampy is meant to be a simple command line tool to manipulate files and run code on a CircuitPython or MicroPython board over its serial connection. With ampy you can send files from your computer to the board's file system, download files from a board to your computer, and even send a Python script to a board to be executed.

Note that ampy by design is meant to be simple and does not support advanced interaction like a shell or terminal to send input to a board. Check out other MicroPython tools like rshell or mpfshell for more advanced interaction with boards.
