Ahoy Arduino Makers!
Got a new course for you that’s been highly requested - Arduino to MicroPython: A Quick Start Guide!
If you’ve been curious about MicroPython but felt intimidated starting from scratch, this course is specifically designed for you. We’ll translate your existing Arduino knowledge into MicroPython quickly and painlessly.
Why This Course?
You already know how to blink LEDs, read sensors, and control motors with Arduino C++. Why learn the same things again? This course builds on what you already know with side-by-side code comparisons that show exactly how Arduino concepts translate to MicroPython.
Arduino C++ you know:
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
MicroPython equivalent:
led.on()
time.sleep(1)
See? Not so different!
What You’ll Learn
In just 2-3 hours, you’ll master:
- ✅ Python syntax (with Arduino comparisons)
- ✅ Pin control, ADC, and PWM
- ✅ Timing and serial communication
- ✅ Building IoT projects with WiFi
- ✅ Creating robot control systems
Works With Your Hardware
The course supports:
- Arduino Nano ESP32 - Your Arduino with MicroPython!
- Raspberry Pi Pico W - Affordable and powerful
- Raspberry Pi Pico 2W - The latest and fastest
All examples work on these boards with minimal tweaks.
Who Is This For?
Perfect if you:
- ✅ Know Arduino C++ programming
- ✅ Want faster development (no compile time!)
- ✅ Like cleaner, more readable code
- ✅ Need WiFi/IoT features
- ✅ Want to teach others (Python is easier for beginners)
You DON’T need:
- ❌ Python experience (we’ll teach you!)
- ❌ Linux knowledge
- ❌ Advanced programming skills
Course Structure
11 bite-sized lessons organized into 4 sections:
- Getting Started - Why MicroPython matters
- Language Fundamentals - Syntax, control flow, functions, pins
- Hardware Basics - ADC, PWM, timing, serial
- Practical Projects - IoT and robotics projects
Each lesson includes hands-on exercises you can try with your board.
Why MicroPython?
Faster Development:
- No compile time - run code instantly
- Interactive REPL for testing
- Live code changes without re-uploading
Easier to Read:
- Less boilerplate code
- Clearer syntax
- Better for collaboration
More Powerful:
- Built-in WiFi libraries
- File system support
- Easy string manipulation
Still Use Arduino C++ When:
- You need microsecond-precise timing
- Working with very limited RAM
- Using Arduino-only libraries
Ready to Start?
Head over to Arduino to MicroPython and begin your MicroPython journey!
Whether you’re looking to speed up your development, make your code more maintainable, or just expand your skills - this course has you covered.
Happy Making! 🐍🤖
