We wrote this book to share our passion for Python and IOT solutions. We especially wanted to show how anyone can program their own IOT solutions in Python using MicroPython on small microcontroller boards. The intended audience therefore includes anyone interested in learning how to build IOT solutions, hobbyists, and enthusiasts who don’t want to spend a lot of time learning a complicated programming language to control hardware through software in IOT solutions. The book was written to guide the reader from a general knowledge of microcontrollers and MicroPython to expertise in developing MicroPython solutions for the IOT. The first several chapters cover general topics including a short introduction to the Internet of Things, what microcontroller boards are available as well as how MicroPython works. Later chapters present a tutorial on programming in MicroPython as well as an introduction to electronics. This is followed by four projects that you can implement to learn how to build MicroPython IOT solutions. Throughout the book are examples of how to implement many of the concepts presented.
