Fri Sep 20 14:07:44 UTC 2024: ## WebAssembly Meets MicroPython: Compile and Run Code on Microcontrollers
**Adafruit**, a leading maker platform, announced the release of **wasm2mpy**, a new tool that allows developers to compile WebAssembly (Wasm) binaries into MicroPython modules. This breakthrough opens up a new world of possibilities for microcontroller programming, enabling users to run complex Wasm applications on devices like ESP32, Raspberry Pi Pico, STM32, and nRF52.
“This is a game-changer for the microcontroller community,” said a spokesperson from Adafruit. “It means that developers can now leverage the power and flexibility of WebAssembly, which is widely used in web development, to create powerful and efficient applications for embedded systems.”
The wasm2mpy tool allows developers to take advantage of a growing library of Wasm modules and run them directly on their microcontrollers. This means that developers can now access advanced algorithms, graphics libraries, and other powerful tools that were previously unavailable in the MicroPython ecosystem.
“This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for embedded development,” added the spokesperson. “We’re excited to see what the maker community creates with this new tool.”
**Adafruit** encourages developers to explore the potential of wasm2mpy and share their projects with the community. More information and resources are available on Adafruit’s GitHub repository and MicroPython discussions.
