MicroPython Tools 2026.1 for PyCharm is out - Looking for feedback and testers

[lukaskremla]

This plugin has been in the makings for over a year now and it's finally at a stage where the most important planned features are implemented.

What's done:

• Auto-detect serial port and connect to device
• Automatic skipping of already uploaded files
• File system integration with drag & drop and management actions
• REPL with support for directly executing code
• On-device file editing
• Firmware flashing (ESP8266, ESP32, RP2 and SAMD)
• Stub packages for code completion (Integrated manager for stubs by Jos Verlinde)
• Run configuration for uploads/in-REPL file executions
• Pro features (Subscription based): mpy-cross compilation, compression, background sync (more coming)

I've created the plugin according to what I needed for my own commercial work utilizing MicroPython - but now I want to hear what you, the community, think of the plugin.

What I'm asking from you:

1. Feedback
I'm looking for feedback from all sorts of users, hobbyists, students, professionals, teachers - everyone.

If you can spare a few minutes, please fill out this survey. It would greatly help me in further improving this plugin.

3. Educators
