Synopsis

Build smart devices. Learn MicroPython. Bring your ideas to life.

MicroPython and IoT Projects is your beginner-friendly guide to using Python on microcontrollers like the ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico. If you’ve ever wanted to control lights, sensors, or other hardware with Python instead of C or Arduino, this book is for you.

Designed with practical learners in mind, this book walks you through step-by-step projects that combine coding with real-world hardware. You’ll connect sensors, push data to the cloud, and even control devices from your phone—all while writing clean Python code that runs on tiny, efficient boards.

Inside, you’ll build projects like:

  • Wi-Fi Temperature Logger – Monitor room temperature and push data to a Google Sheet or web dashboard

  • Motion-Activated LED Alarm – Detect movement and trigger lights or buzzers

  • Bluetooth Device Controller – Control gadgets wirelessly with your phone

  • Smart Plant Monitor – Measure soil moisture and send alerts when to water

  • IoT Button – Send custom commands to web apps or smart home platforms

  • OLED Screen Data Display – Show sensor values or messages on a small screen

You'll learn how to:

  • Flash MicroPython firmware onto ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico

  • Connect sensors and actuators using GPIO

  • Work with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

  • Send and receive data over MQTT, HTTP, and APIs

  • Use libraries like umqtt, urequests, and machine

  • Troubleshoot, optimize, and expand your projects

Whether you're an electronics hobbyist, Python coder, or tech educator, this hands-on book gives you everything you need to start building real IoT projects with Python, not theory.
