How it works

Your MicroPython programs can produce output using the print command, but it can also read input. To enter input, just click on the terminal window and press some keys.

You can read keyboard presses using stdin, as shown in the example below. Then you can make your program choose different behaviors based on which key is pressed.

# Import required MicroPython libraries.
from usys import stdin
from uselect import poll

# Register the standard input so we can read keyboard presses.
keyboard = poll()
keyboard.register(stdin)

while True:
    # Check if a key has been pressed.
    if keyboard.poll(0):

        # Read the key and print it.
        key = stdin.read(1)
        print("You pressed:", key)
