==Common Acronyms & terms used in Python & MicroPython==

:* REPL
:** Read, Evaluate, Print, Loop
:** "It's what you get when you type <code>python</code> from the command line and see three chevrons (>>>) prompting you to do some interactive Python programming."
:* WebREPL
:** Browser-based REPL used to communicate with ESP8266/ESP32 boards via local Wifi
:* microfs
:** tool that uses the USB serial connection for working with the filesystem in MicroPython
:* PWM
:** Pulse Width Modulation
:** a way to make digital signals emulate analog, by rapidly turning on and off while also controlling the time the voltage is on or off
:* duty cycle ratio
:** Because power is only applied [to digital devices] when the duty cycle is on, the average power delivered to the device is the duty cycle ratio multiplied by the "on" time.
