BoardyPy

BoardyPy is a desktop MicroPython IDE built with PyQt5.

It focuses on a lightweight workflow for MicroPython boards and bundles the tools you need in one place:

  • code editor with syntax highlighting
  • serial REPL / console
  • local file explorer
  • device file explorer for MicroPython boards
  • bundled MicroPython library manager
  • local script runner
  • Pixel Matrix OLED drawing in the free Community tier

Community / Pro Model

BoardyPy remains installable from PyPI as a free Community version:

pip install boardypy
pip install -U boardypy

Starting with the Community/Pro model, commercial features require a signed license.bpylic file. One active Pro license unlocks all Pro features. TFT drawing in Pixel Matrix is Pro; OLED drawing remains free.

The standalone owner-only License Maker lives in license_maker/ and is not included in the PyPI package.

Run

boardypy

Development

pip install -e .
python -m boardypy

Pro License Docs

See docs/PRO_LICENSE.md for:

  • creating private/public keys
  • keeping private_key.pem safe
  • generating license.bpylic
  • activating Pro inside BoardyPy settings
  • building the standalone License Maker for Windows and Linux

Notes

  • Python >=3.9 is required by project metadata.
  • Runtime configuration, logs, sessions, and license.bpylic are stored in the user profile directory, not inside the installed package.
  • On Linux, serial access may require adding your user to the device group, for example: sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER, then logging out and back in.
  • The toolbar web search opens Yandex Search in the external browser; the generated URL includes the clid parameter.
  • See LICENSE for the Community/Pro license model.
