Python for Microcontrollers: Getting Started with MicroPython
Program Your Own MicroPython projects with ease--no prior programming experience necessary!
This DIY guide provides a practical introduction to microcontroller programming with MicroPython. Written by an experienced electronics hobbyist, Python for Getting Started with MicroPython features eight start-to-finish projects that clearly demonstrate each technique. 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 the LEDs, timers, and converters
- Control external devices using serial interfaces and PWM
- Build and program a let ball detector using the 3-axis accelerometer
- Install and program LCD and touchsensor expansion boards
- Record and play sounds using the AMP audio board

Consistent and yet haphazard at the same time.

This is a well organised and helpful look at programming in the Micropython language on microcontrollers. It was published this year and gives some sample projects. I enjoyed reviewing them although I did not try to build them. Projects included a tennis let ball detector using the accelerometer, using a 4 line LCD screen, producing sound, controlling a toy car, reading satellite GPS signals, etc.

Excellent Book
This is a wonderful read.
Not only is it a book about Python - one of my favorite programming languages, but about microcontrollers.
I have been enjoying writing fun scripts and trinkets with hardware modifications and tools such as Arduino.
This book was really useful and I learned a lot for my fun little projects.
Would recommend!
4.4/5
