1. install anaconda python on laptop:

   • anaconda

2. create an environment within anaconda containing:

   • scikits-learn
   • elequent arduino
   • tensorFlow lite

   using the following environment file: smallminds_env.yml

#######################
name: smallminds

#channels: 
#  - conda-forge

dependencies:
  - python
  - numpy
  - scipy
  - scikit-learn
  - ipywidgets
  - jupyterlab
  - pandas
  - matplotlib
  - tensorflow
  - pip
  - pip:
    - jupytext
    - micromlgen
    - tinymlgen
#    - tensorflow
#######################

- to install type:
    conda env create -f smallminds_env.yml
- to use type:
    conda activate smallminds
- when done deactivate environment
    conda deactivate
- to remove environment, deactivate, then type
    conda remove --name smallminds --all
- to list environments type
    conda env list

3. ide for microcontrollers:

   • either

     • atom editor

   • or

     • visual studio (vscode)

4. platform-io

   • install this within the editor chosen above

5. within platformio set up to use:

   • circuit python
   • arduino c++

6. micropython emulator 1.
   micropython emulator 2.

7. tinkercad account for virtual electronics experiments
