The kuttyPy (/kʊtipʌɪ/) Microcontroller training utility allows real-time manipulation of the registers in microcontrollers via a connected computer containing its python library. setReg and getReg function calls act as a real-time debugging and monitoring utility, and combined with Python's visualization and analytical utilities, this approach has immense pedagogical potential for beginners.
The kuttyPy Nano hardware is an ATMEGA328p microcontroller development board
Supports a variety of tasks such as IO manipulation, ADC reading, I2C sensor data logging, C compile and upload IDE, blockly based graphical programming etc
