What you will learn

  • This course will teach you the programming language MicroPython, it's essential features and the platform or the microcontroller on which it will run, called the Pyboard.
  • By the end of this course, you will be able to build non-trivial projects using the Pyboard, by programming it using MicroPython.
  • You will also develop enough confidence to program MicroPython compatible boards other than the Pyboard using MicroPython.

Course Description

Update June 2022:

  • Bill of Materials URLs are Updated


This beginner level course has twin objectives - (1) Introduce you to the Pyboard (2) Introduce you to MicroPython. By the end of this course, you would have developed a firm grasp of the hardware capabilities of the Pyboard and learnt to program it using MicroPython. We assume passing familiarity with the Python Programming language on the part of the learner.

Other than hardware and embedded enthusiasts, this course is also designed to be a gateway to embedded programming for folks coming from hardcore programming background with zero knowledge of electronic development boards. We think hobbyists and hard core engineers (hardware and software) alike will learn much from this course.

What you’ll learn

  • This course will teach you the programming language MicroPython, it's essential features and the platform or the microcontroller on which it will run, called the Pyboard.

  • By the end of this course, you will be able to build non-trivial projects using the Pyboard, by programming it using MicroPython.

  • You will also develop enough confidence to program MicroPython compatible boards other than the Pyboard using MicroPython.

Are there any course requirements or prerequisites?

  • To get maximum value out of this course, you should have at least a basic knowledge of programming principles.

  • Familiarity with Python will help you to follow this course easily.

  • You will also need to know some of the basic electronic concepts and experience with microcontroller boards like Arduino will help you in following this course.

Who this course is for:

  • A Python developer without hardware experience looking to get started in embedded programming.

  • Someone familiar with conventional microcontroller programming, but are looking to use a high-level language to program the microcontroller.

  • An electronics hobbyist or an enthusiast looking to explore the Pyboard and MicroPython.

  • A hardcore electronics engineer looking to learn one of the most exciting developments in the field of microcontroller programming.

Leider zu schnell und nicht tiefgreifend genug.

By Neil Brown on 11/10/2020

Very organised approach to learning. Depth of coverage is about right for someone with a limited current knowledge of the area.

By Helmut-Werner Harder on 9/7/2020

Erwartungen sind erfüllt. Teilweise sehr schneller Fortschritt. Lässt sich aber durch die problemlose Wiederholung der Lektion in den Griff bekommen. Sehr gute Sprachverständlichkeit auch für nicht englische Muttersprachler!

The course was very good and gave me a good insight into micropython. I look forward to the next level on micropython. Regards Andy

I found your Course very well detailed. i have remarked that there were not enough Assignment or task.

By Abcbanto on 8/11/2019

Bit reading robotically the slides. Some concepts are not explained, just read. Strange that the instructor is blaming a student that is provide an "unwelcomed" feedback in such way. Dear instructor, what should i add to my previous comments? The instructor is reading things like listing 10 alternative functions spelling words as "underscore", "parenthesis", "brackets", "0xfffffffff" as a bot. Cannot be more boring than that to follow. "Why a global var should be declared after imports to make efficient use of memory" is not explained either. And so and so on and so on. I can list more. Maybe because I had many very good Udemy courses and all my scores were high so far that in my opinion this is a course with very low value.

It really gave a good foundation on the workings of micropython and the pyboard. The instructor moved through the material at a good pace and presented the information is a clear manner.

By Krithika Sureshkumar on 3/22/2019

The course has been structured very well to tailor to the needs of a beginner. The in-depth, precise explanation of Pyboard features and overview of Micropython has given me the confidence to work on more projects using this versatile board. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in Embedded and IoT programming.

By N Swetha Meenakshi on 3/21/2019

The first decent course on the pyboard that I have come across so far. It is very thoroughly explained. I would highly recommend this course for pyboard enthusiasts.

By Agalya on 3/20/2019

Some parts of the course are lengthy (timers), but if you are willing to invest your time, it is well worth it.
