Learn electronics, coding, and projects — step by step.
Once you’ve explored the REPL and tested small snippets of code interactively, the next step is learning how to save and manage scripts on your MicroPython board. This allows your programs to run automatically, even without a computer connected. In MicroPython, file management is straightforward — you can store, edit, and organize Python files directly […]
Before diving deeper into coding projects, it’s important to understand one of the most useful tools in MicroPython: the REPL, which stands for Read–Eval–Print Loop. It’s an interactive shell that allows you to execute Python commands directly on your microcontroller in real time. The REPL is what makes MicroPython feel so dynamic and beginner-friendly — […]
Now that you understand the basics of MicroPython’s syntax, it’s time to create your very first real-world project: blinking an LED. This is the “Hello, World!” of hardware programming — it verifies that your board, firmware, and IDE setup are all working correctly. You’ll learn how to interact with the board’s GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) […]
Now that your MicroPython board and Thonny IDE are ready, it’s time to learn the language itself. MicroPython is a compact yet powerful version of Python 3, designed to run on small devices like the ESP32, ESP8266, or Raspberry Pi Pico. Despite its small footprint, it retains much of Python’s elegance — clean syntax, easy-to-read […]
Before you can start writing and running MicroPython code, you need an environment that allows you to easily communicate with your development board. One of the most beginner-friendly tools for this is the Thonny IDE — a lightweight Python editor that includes built-in support for MicroPython boards such as the ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi […]
