NEW GUIDE: MicroPython Hardware: Digital I/O @micropython
MicroPython Hardware: Digital I/O is a new guide in the learning system:
Digital I/O, or input/output, is one of the most basic ways to talk to hardware. We say ‘digital’ because it only deals with on or off values and nothing in-between. For example with digital I/O a LED can be turned completely on and completely off repeatedly to blink. Or using digital I/O you can read when a switch or button is moved on or off. With just a few lines of MicroPython code you’ll be a master of digital I/O in no time.
This guide explores how to use digital I/O pins with MicroPython. You’ll see how to control a LED using a digital output pin, and read a pushbutton using a digital input pin. These basic digital I/O examples can serve as the starting point for more complex and interesting projects that use hardware like LEDs, buttons, switches, relays, transistors, and even simple digital sensors!
