However, some of the libraries in the MicroPython firmware have a few minor differences from one board to another. In some cases, there are more libraries or classes available than others or perhaps the classes are organized differently, but most implement the same core libraries in one form or another. The same cannot be said to be true at the lower-level hardware abstraction layers . This ...
