====== PYCOM IoT Modules ======

PYCOM LoPy and FiPy are MC boards based on ESP32 SOC with additional communication options. 

Wifi and BLE are intrinsic to ESP32. FiPy additionally provides LoRa, SigFox and NB-IoT / LTE-M. LoPy has LoRa.

PYCOM modules are programmable in the Python dialect MicroPython.
