Information

Two MCU blocks run the same program, multi_counter.py, which imports the module multi_counter_lib.py (placed next to it) and increments its module-level counter every 100 ms, five times. Each microcontroller runs in its own Python sub-interpreter: its program globals, its imported modules (here the counter), machine, time, sys.path and its file system are its own. Both boards therefore count exactly 5 ticks and light their GP1 LED at the end; with a shared state, the counter would reach 10 and the second board would also see the globals of the first.

With two microcontrollers or more, every line printed by a program is prefixed with the instance name in the simulation log ([mcu1] ...), as the scripted peripherals already do.
