See how easy it is to code microcontrollers with CircuitPython and the Mu development environment.
CircuitPython is a version of Python 3 created to run on small microcontrollers. Mu is a very simple Python writing tool. Put them together and programming micros becomes faster and more fun.
Lynn’s presentation is here:
Intro to Pi & Others Discussion. We will review the course materials, and discuss improvements, and getting the word out.
Intro to Pi & Others is a four part series with each session building on the previous sessions, where Pi basics of software and hardware will be explored.
