  Pybricks is Python coding for smart LEGO® hubs. Run MicroPython scripts directly on the hub, and get full control of your motors and sensors.

  Pybricks runs on LEGO® BOOST, City, Technic, MINDSTORMS®, and SPIKE®. You can code using Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, and Android.

• All newer LEGO hubs connect over Bluetooth BLE; so you may need a $20 Bluetooth >= 5.0 (Bluetooth BLE) [USB] adapter

  • There is a web-based MicroPython REPL, and it only works over HTTP due to WebSockets WSS, so it's best to clone that file locally: http://micropython.org/webrepl/ https://github.com/micropython/webrepl/
