Raspberry Pi Pico W - AWS IoT Python SDK v2

[1960pghpirates]

Hi,

Given the current supply shortage of Raspberry Pi Zero, many developers are evaluating Raspberry Pi Pico for their IoT use cases. I have an application using AWS IoT Python SDK v2 running on Raspberry Pi Zero W. Is it possible to run the SDK on a Raspberry Pi Pico W? I think that would mean compatibility with MicroPython or CircuitPython libraries as that is what runs on the Pico.

Thanks!

I don't think this sdk will work with MicroPython or CircuitPython. They are both based on Python3.4 and the minimum requirements for this sdk is Python3.7.

@jmklix I talked to Adafruit about compatibility of the IoT Python v2 SDK with their CircuitPython library on Raspberry Pi Pico. Their library is compatible with V1 of the IoT Python SDK. Here is what they said:

I don't have any immediate plans to update this library to support AWS IoT SDK V2.

However, we will gladly accept a pull request adding V2 support from someone from the community (or from Amazon AWS IoT).

Just thought I would mention this in case there is some interest.

Thanks for sharing this. There are currently no plans for us to add support via adafruit, but we are open to community feedback and will look into it if there is enough interest
