What Will I Learn?

• This course will teach you the programming language MicroPython, it's essential features and the platform or the microcontroller on which it will run, called the Pyboard.
• By the end of this course, you will be able to build non-trivial projects using the Pyboard, by programming it using MicroPython.
• You will also develop enough confidence to program MicroPython compatible boards other than the Pyboard using MicroPython.

Requirements

• To get maximum value out of this course, you should have at least a basic knowledge of programming principles.
• Familiarity with Python will help you to follow this course easily.
• You will also need to know some of the basic electronic concepts and experience with microcontroller boards like Arduino will help you in following this course.

Target audience

• A Python developer without hardware experience looking to get started in embedded programming.
• Someone familiar with conventional microcontroller programming, but are looking to use a high-level language to program the microcontroller.
• An electronics hobbyist or an enthusiast looking to explore the Pyboard and MicroPython.
• A hardcore electronics engineer looking to learn one of the most exciting developments in the field of microcontroller programming.
