MicroPython Projects

By: Jacob Beningo

Overview of this book

With the increasing complexity of embedded systems seen over the past few years, developers are looking for ways to manage them easily by solving problems without spending a lot of time on finding supported peripherals. MicroPython is an efficient and lean implementation of the Python 3 programming language, which is optimized to run on microcontrollers. MicroPython Projects will guide you in building and managing your embedded systems with ease. This book is a comprehensive project-based guide that will help you build a wide range of projects and give you the confidence to design complex projects spanning new areas of technology such as electronic applications, automation devices, and IoT applications. While building seven engaging projects, you'll learn how to enable devices to communicate with each other, access and control devices over a TCP/IP socket, and store and retrieve data. The complexity will increase progressively as you work on different projects, covering areas such as driver design, sensor interfacing, and MicroPython kernel customization. By the end of this MicroPython book, you'll be able to develop industry-standard embedded systems and keep up with the evolution of the Internet of Things.

Summary

Python has taken the software world by storm due to its elegant simplicity, ease to learn, but also its ability to easily scale and adapt to changing industry conditions. Python has found its way into the resource-constrained environment of microcontroller applications through MicroPython. In the rest of this book, we will explore how we can learn and leverage MicroPython for DIY and product development projects through several hands-on projects.

The projects in this book vary in terms of the skill level required to complete and understand them. Whether you are new to programming or a skilled professional, I will walk you through the design process that's required to complete projects successfully. In order to make sure that no reader is left behind, I will periodically point out useful resources to get up to speed on topics that might otherwise be outside the scope...
