BBC Micro:bit in Practice: A hands-on guide to building creative real-life projects with MicroPython and the BBC Micro:bit

by Ashwin Pajankar, Abhishek Sharma, Sandeep Saini

Develop real-world interactive physical computing applications using the with more than 100 MicroPython examples with circuit diagrams This book is a one-stop guide for learning BBC with MicroPython, exploring many hardware components and programming techniques to provide detailed insights into developing practical applications with the It will also show you how hardware components can be manipulated using a combination of and MicroPython for developing practical projects. BBC in Practice will help you gain a holistic understanding of the BBC platform and MicroPython programming, guiding you through mini projects aimed at developing practical knowledge of circuit design and writing programs. You'll learn how to write programs for working with built-in LEDs and buttons, interfacing external LEDs, buttons, motors, buzzers, and much more. You'll also work with built-in radio, speakers, accelerometer, and a compass. You'll dive into concepts related to the filesystem, interfacing external displays, and working with libraries in detail before exploring sewable circuits and wearable technology. After reading this book, you'll understand how to apply principles in electronics and MicroPython to create interesting real-life projects from scratch. This book is for anyone who wants to use the combination of MicroPython and the BBC for building exciting real-life projects. Engineers, researchers, hobbyists, and technology instructors working in areas such as embedded systems, electronics, software development, IoT, robotics, teaching, and training will find this book useful for building projects. Prior experience with building basic electronic circuits and any programming language, not necessarily MicroPython, will be helpful.
