Hands-on example introduction
- [Instructor] Now that you've learned something about microcontrollers, electronics, and MicroPython, it's time for a hands-on project. The goal for this project is to demonstrate the end-to-end workflow of creating a MicroPython application, from choosing a development board, to installing MicroPython, and a development environment to finally uploading and testing the application. You can see here the finished product. It's a simple web server. You can access it from your browser to see temperature and humidity readings from a connected sensor, and you can switch on and off an LED connected to a microcontroller pin. Finally, a display shows information including the IP address of the server so it can stand alone without being connected to a laptop or desktop computer. The components we'll use are first, a Raspberry Pi Pico W development board. The board is inexpensive and supports MicroPython. It also has wifi, and an I squared C interface, which we need to communicate with both the…
