MicroPython for the Raspberry Pi Pico W: A gentle introduction to programming digital circuits with Python

by Miguel Grinberg

Welcome to MicroPython for the Raspberry Pi Pico W, a book that will introduce you to the exciting world of microcontrollers and small-form Internet enabled devices, now revised and adapted to the popular Raspberry Pi Pico W microcontroller board, an inexpensive, yet unbelievably powerful device. As far as software, the language of choice is MicroPython, a lightweight version of the Python language that is designed to run on devices with limited resources. With this book you will learn how to create digital circuits that make use of Wi-Fi, sensors, screens and buttons, all using a "plug and play" approach that does not require soldering, and with the programming done in the familiar Python language.
