Starting Point#

We begin with a main.py file (sometimes called a "script") defining a module called "main" and containing just a single comment line: main.py # do something intelligent here

The file main.py is special in MicroPython, in the sense that when you power-on the device and/or press the reset button, the main.py file is executed. It's the entry point for executing any application in Python.
