NEW GUIDE: Getting Started With The WiPy Board #IoT #MicroPython @pycomIOT
Everything you need to get up and running with the new WiPy microcontroller.
If MicroPython and wireless connectivity are your thing, you’ll appreciate this new mini-guide for getting started with the WiPy IoT development platform. Since the device is interacted with exclusively over wireless this guide will show you how to initially connect to it, modify the boot.py program, and discuss known security issues. Also be sure to check out the extensive Additional Resources section of the guide for more MicroPython goodness.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
