Charles Bell 
MicroPython for the Internet of Things 
A Beginner’s Guide to Programming with Python on Microcontrollers

Quickly learn to program for microcontrollers and Io T devices without a lot of study and expense. Micro Python and controllers that support it eliminate the need for programming in a C-like language, making the creation of Io T applications and devices easier and more accessible than ever. 





Micro Python for the Internet of Things is ideal for readers new to electronics and the world of Io T. Specific examples are provided covering a range of supported devices, sensors, and Micro Python boards such as Pycom’s Wi Py modules and Micro Python’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 Io T devices
  


• Teaches Micro Python, 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 Micro Python
  


• Understand sensors and basic electronics
  


• Develop your own Io T projects
  


• Build applications for popular boards such as Wi Py and pyboard
  


• Load Micro Python on the ESP8266 and similar boards
  


• Interface with hardware breakout boards


• Connect hardware to software through Micro Python


• Explore the easy-to-use Adafruit IO connecting your microcontroller to the cloud

Who This Book Is For






Anyone interested in building Io T solutions without the heavy burden of programming in C++ or C. The book also appeals to those wanting an easier way to work with hardware than is provided by the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi platforms.
