Not only that, but MicroPython requires far fewer resources and doesn’t have to rely on an operating system because MicroPython itself acts as the OS for the Pyboard or any other microcontroller.

Micropython comes already with some modules and enough functions to get some stuff out-of-the-box working. E.g. the infamous version of “hello world” for microcontrollers aka led-blinking.

Now you can create a MicroPython program to blink the onboard LED on and off in a loop. Make sure that your Raspberry Pi Pico is connected to your computer, and click in the main editor pane of Thonny ...

The Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller was released at the start of the year, and this book may be of interest if you are looking to programme it in MicroPython: yes, its Programming the Raspberry Pi ...

The MicroPython folks really got the user-experience part right: tab-completion brings up an object’s methods, up-arrow recalls the last command for editing, and so on.
