Learning Outcomes (At The End Of This Program, You Will Be Able To...)

  • This course will teach you the programming language MicroPython, it’s essential features and the platform or the micro controller on which it will run, called the Pyboard. 
  • Build non-trivial projects using the Pyboard, by programming it using MicroPython. 
  • Program MicroPython compatible boards other than the Pyboard using MicroPython. 

Prerequisites

  • 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 micro controller boards like Arduino will help you in following this course. 

Who Should Attend

  • A Python developer without hardware experience looking to get started in embedded programming. 
  • Someone familiar with conventional micro controller programming, but are looking to use a high-level language to program the micro controller. 
  • A hardcore electronics engineer looking to learn one of the most exciting developments in the field of micro controller programming.
