Description

Python is coming to the Internet of Things. That opens vast possibilities, but you need to learn to apply Python differently on the constrained resources of microcontrollers. In this course, instructor Robert Gallup walks you through how to get started, control hardware, add interaction, and connect external components. Robert introduces you to the purpose, background, and limitations of CircuitPython and shows you how to write and upload your first script. He explains the basic elements of a microprocessor, then steps through identifying components on the Circuit Playground Express (CPX) board, controlling the CPX onboard LED, and controlling NeoPixels on the CPX. Robert shows you how to add several different interactions with the CPX. He concludes by showing you how to connect external components, such as a potentiometer and external libraries.

Instructor's Courses

I create at the nexus of people, design, and technology. I’ve worked for startups and corporate empires. I’m a designer and coder who’s studied economics and psychology. I’ve managed game development teams, prototyped intelligent hardware products, and helped design user experiences for a car computer and an online learning platform. I’ve developed online training, presented in corporate classrooms, and led small and large workshops covering microcontroller programming and electronics. On the side, I’ve photographed in Africa, trekked the Himalayas, negotiated auto-rickshaw rides in New Delhi, and been lost on the Shinkansen in Japan. I’ve made musical instruments, performed in a classical Chinese music ensemble, played bagpipes in my basement and improvised with musical electronics and microcontrollers. With a diverse perspective and natural curiosity, I thrive exploring the frontiers of future products and experiences.
