"This practical guide offers a hands-on introduction to Python-based microcontroller programming with MicroPython and the open-source Pyboard hardware platform. The book shows, step-by-step, how to set up and interface with the board, install the necessary software, and develop custom MicroPython programs"--Publisher's website. "This DIY guide provides a practical introduction to microcontroller programming with MicroPython. Written by an experienced electronics hobbyist, Python for Microcontrollers: Getting Started with MicroPython features eight start-to-finish projects with clear, easy-to-follow instruction for each. You will learn how to use sensors, store data, control motors and other devices, and work with expansion boards. From there, you’ll discover how to design, build, and program all kinds of entertaining and practical projects of your own.
Learn MicroPython and object-oriented programming basics Explore the powerful features of the Pyboard, ESP8266, and WiPy Interface with a PC and load files, programs, and modules Work with LEDs, timers, and converters Control external devices using serial interfaces and PWM Build and program a let ball detector using the three-axis accelerometer Install and program LCD and touch-sensor expansion boards Record and play sounds using the AMP audio board."--Back cover
