Learn TINYGO with Real Code Examples

Install Go on your development machine

Install TinyGo using package manager or from source

Set up environment variables (TINYGO_PATH, PATH)

Connect your microcontroller or board

Test installation using 'tinygo version' and sample programs

Install Go

Install TinyGo

Connect target hardware

Set PATH and environment variables

Test sample TinyGo programs

Go source files (.go)

TinyGo build flags and configuration

Board definitions for supported microcontrollers

WebAssembly output directories

Peripheral or library packages

tinygo build -o output.bin -target arduino main.go

tinygo flash -target arduino main.go

tinygo run -target wasm main.go

tinygo list targets - list supported boards

tinygo env - check environment setup

TinyGo itself language-agnostic

Go code supports Unicode identifiers and strings

WebAssembly targets respect browser locale settings

External libraries may need localization

Peripheral libraries generally language-neutral

Command-line interface

Supports multiple OSs for development (Windows, Mac, Linux)

Serial or USB access for device interaction

Integration with IDEs supporting Go

Community tutorials and guides

Minimal or no UI for microcontrollers

WebAssembly targets can use HTML/CSS/JS front-end

Serial console for debugging

LEDs or displays for visual feedback

Custom dashboards via web or IoT platforms

Variables in memory on microcontroller

GPIO and peripheral state

Concurrent goroutines (limited)

Timers and interrupts

WebAssembly linear memory for browser targets

Read/write sensor data

Store small buffers in RAM

Use flash/EEPROM for persistent storage

Transmit data over serial, Wi-Fi, or BLE

Manage memory manually for constrained devices
