Learn Micropython with Esp8266: Example Code, LM35, DH22, Thinkspeak, IoT Projects, and More

Hey robot makers. Here's five things that you need to know about micro Python. It's very easy to learn and it's never too late to start. Learning. Python is about as close to plain English.

★As you can get with a program in language, micro Python is the same language as Python, which is fewer features so that it can fit on a small micro controller. Python uses indentation to imply the structure of the code, as well as making the code easier to read.

★It means that there's no need for those funny symbols at the end of the code, such as the curly braces and the semicolon. So here's an example of two pieces of code side by side, one in seat and one in micro Python. So on the left hand side there, you can see that we have the curly braces at the start of the code block and the end of the code block.

★And at the end of each line of code, we need to have that semicolon to tele compiler that that's the end of the code. Whereas at micro Python, there's no need for that. The indentation tells us whether this is part of the function or not, or whether it's part of the main.

★ We don't need to have those semicolons at the end of each line, which means our code just looks easier to read. The easiest way to get into micro Python is to get yourself a development board. And these are really cheap and easy to come.
