Introduction to MicroPython

A great introductory book on programming the RP2040 micro controller is freely available on raspberrypi.com.

Setup

Make sure to have a current version of Python installed. Then install Thonny, either via pip

pip install --user --upgrade thonny
  

or follow the instructions on thonny.org.

If you don't own a MicroPython compatible device and still want to practice, you can use the Wokwi RP Pico simulator.

To install MicroPython on your Raspberry Pi Pico, follow the relevant instructions on raspberrypi.com.

A series of small introductory examples is available on https://gitlab.com/senarclens/micropython-examples/. Ideally, clone the repository via

git clone git@gitlab.com:senarclens/micropython-examples.git
