Programming with MicroPython

by Nicholas H. Tollervey

It's an exciting time to get involved with MicroPython, the re-implementation of Python 3 for microcontrollers and embedded systems. This practical guide delivers the knowledge you need to roll up your sleeves and create exceptional embedded projects with this lean and efficient programming language. If you're familiar with Python as a programmer, educator, or maker, you're ready to learn—and have fun along the way.

Author Nicholas Tollervey takes you on a journey from first steps to advanced projects. You'll explore the types of devices that run MicroPython, and examine how the language uses and interacts with hardware to process input, connect to the outside world, communicate wirelessly, make sounds and music, and drive robotics projects.

  • Work with MicroPython on four typical devices: PyBoard, the micro:bit, Adafruit's Circuit Playground Express, and ESP8266/ESP32 boards
  • Explore a framework that helps you generate, evaluate, and evolve embedded projects that solve real problems
  • Dive into practical MicroPython examples: visual feedback, input and sensing, GPIO, networking, sound and music, and robotics
  • Learn how idiomatic MicroPython helps you express a lot with the minimum of resources
  • Take the next step by getting involved with the Python community

      Please consider the amount of work done to complete a book for the author to at least get your email, not necessary, but will do great help to the author to at least be able to send you his/her new book listing.

        I am happy to give my email to the author.
        But not the publisher. Because author might not get my email address in this case. (Same thing happens to money).

    Nice find. For newbies that want to try micropython, I recommend getting a Wemos D1-MINI for a few bucks off ebay/Aliexpress as a starter platform for wireless IOT projects, and visit the micropython.org website to get the ESP8266 firmware and related documentation.

    MicroPython is a great project, embedding it into our existing microcontroller based product as a scripting engine at the moment. Unfortunately, it has too many GCC dependencies and automagically generated files, but otherwise Python 3 on a microcontroller from an embedded software engineer prospective it's like "Wow! Really???".

    • Not as impressive these days when everything from TV boxes to watches to egg cartons are running JavaScript.

      • Will be surprise to know what is running JavaScript, to be honest.

  • How to Program with MicroPython:

    Program in Python on your computer
    Port across to MicroPython
    Curse the planets that there are missing/smaller libraries in MicroPython

      It is named as micro for a reason. Just like moving from a 5 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom unit.
