MicroPython for the Internet of Things: A Beginner�s Guide to Programming with Python on Microcontrollers

Quickly learn to program for microcontrollers and IoT devices without a lot of study and expense. MicroPython and controllers that support it eliminate the need for programming in a C-like language, making the creation of IoT applications and devices easier and more accessible than ever.

MicroPython for the Internet of Things is ideal for readers new to electronics and the world of IoT. Specific examples are provided covering a range of supported devices, sensors, and MicroPython boards such as Pycom�s WiPy modules and MicroPython�s pyboard. Never has programming for microcontrollers been easier.

The book takes a practical and hands-on approach without a lot of detours into the depths of theory. The book:

  • Shows a faster and easier way to program microcontrollers and IoT devices
  • Teaches MicroPython, a variant of one of the most widely used scripting languages
  • Is friendly and accessible to those new to electronics, with fun example projects


What You'll Learn:

  • Program in MicroPython
  • Understand sensors and basic electronics
  • Develop your own IoT projects
  • Build applications for popular boards such as WiPy and pyboard
  • Load MicroPython on the ESP8266 and similar boards
  • Interface with hardware breakout boards
  • Connect hardware to software through MicroPython
  • Explore the easy-to-use Adafruit IO connecting your microcontroller to the cloud

Read analog input of Arduino Due board

Image
The Arduino Due Board has 12 analog inputs (pins from A0 to A11), each of which can provide 12 bits of resolution (i.e. 4096 different values). By default, the resolution of the readings is set at 10 bits, for compatibility with other Arduino boards. It is possible to change the resolution of the ADC with analogReadResolution(). The Due’s analog inputs pins measure from ground to a maximum value of 3.3V. Applying more then 3.3V on the Due’s pins will damage the SAM3X chip. The analogReference() function is ignored on the Due. Analog input pins on Arduino Due Board Example to read from Analog Input: int analogInputA0 = A0; int varA0; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); analogReadResolution(12); //set ADC resolution to 12 bits } void loop() { varA0 = analogRead(analogInputA0); //read ADC input Serial.println(varA0, HEX); //print as HEX delay(1000); } Read Analog Input on Arduino Due If the code compiled with error: 'analogReadResolution' was not declared in t

Application Note of Cortex-M3 Embedded Software Development

Image
The Arduino Due is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU (datasheet). It is the first Arduino board based on a 32-bit ARM core microcontroller. The Application Note 179 Cortex™-M3 Embedded Software Development , from ARM Information Center, introduces the main features of the ARM Cortex™-M3 processor and describes different aspects of developing software for it. It also covers the migration of existing ARM projects to the Cortex-M3 platform. PDF version available at the bottom of the page.
