Thanks to [Oliver] we now have a MicroPython application for the Flipper, complete with a library for hardware and software feature support.

The Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller was released at the start of the year, and this book may be of interest if you are looking to programme it in MicroPython: yes, its Programming the Raspberry Pi ...
