Raspberry Pi Pico Interfacing and Programming with MicroPython

Python is a popular programming language. Several recent surveys showed that it is the leading programming language. MicroPython is a Python 3 implementation for microcontrollers. We use MicroPython to program the Raspberry Pi Pico board in this book. The Raspberry Pi Pico board platform and MicroPython language are used to program the I/O switches, LEDs, LCD, keypad, Serial Com, ADC, DAC, sensors, Graphic LED, motors, and so on. We also provide SPI and I2C MicroPython programming examples for interfacing Raspberry Pi Pico with real-world devices. Although the programs in this book were tested on the Raspberry Pi Pico board, they can be run on other platforms such as Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect or STM32 Nucleo boards with minor changes. You can find the tutorials, source code, PowerPoint, and other support materials for this book on our website. www.MicroDigitalEd.com A Brief Table of Contents 1.
