Quickly learn to program for microcontrollers and IoT devices without a
lot of study and expense. MicroPython and controllers that support it
eliminate the need for programming in a C-like language, making the
creation of IoT applications and devices easier and more accessible than
ever.
MicroPython for the Internet of Things is ideal for readers new to
electronics and the world of IoT. Specific examples are provided
covering a range of supported devices, sensors, and MicroPython boards
such as Pycom's WiPy modules and MicroPython's pyboard. Never has
programming for microcontrollers been easier.
The book takes a practical and hands-on approach without a lot of
detours into the depths of theory. The book:
- Shows a faster and easier way to program microcontrollers and IoT
devices
- Teaches MicroPython, a variant of one of the most widely used
scripting languages
- Is friendly and accessible to those new to electronics, with fun
example projects
What You'll Learn
- Program in MicroPython
- Understand sensors and basic electronics
- Develop your own IoT projects
- Build applications for popular boards such as WiPy and pyboard
- Load MicroPython on the ESP8266 and similar boards
- Interface with hardware breakout boards
