Currently, the MicroPython downloads page shows 186 boards currently supported with a binary download available.
This means it shouldn't be hard to find a compatible board to work with.
For this "Getting Started" class, I will focus on the Raspberry Pi Pico board.
Just like many of the libraries available to download for peripheral support,
some "tweeking" may be required to get things working for you.
