WiPy 3.0 is Pycom’s updated enterprise grade IOT development platform. The tiny MicroPython enabled WiFi & Bluetooth IoT development platform. With a 1KM WiFi range, state of the art Espressif ESP32 chipset and dual processor, the WiPy 3.0 is all about taking the Internet of Things to the next level.

We’ve written a powerful and intuitive Python API to take advantage of every feature of the hardware. The learning curve is minimal. Simply put, Pycom boards are all about Python and the internet, but with rocket fuel.

If you are purchasing the WiPy 3.0 and wish to connect via USB to your computer, you will also need to purchase either the Expansion BoardPysense or Pytrack.
