MicroPython Coding Class in Penang

Learn Python, electronics, IoT, sensors, LEDs and Raspberry Pi Pico W through practical hands-on projects at Code Genius Penang.

What is MicroPython?

At Code Genius Penang, we provide a practical MicroPython course for students and adults who are interested in learning programming, electronics, IoT and robotics. MicroPython is a small and lightweight implementation of the Python programming language designed to run on microcontrollers such as the Raspberry Pi Pico / Pico W, ESP32, ESP8266 and other similar development boards. One of the main advantages of learning MicroPython is that your Python code can run directly on small electronic boards and interact with real hardware. This makes MicroPython an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to explore robotics programming, electronics, automation and Internet of Things (IoT) development. Many young developers begin their journey into IoT by learning how to use MicroPython to control LEDs, buttons, sensors, displays and other electronic components.

MicroPython Libraries You Will Learn

During the course, students will be introduced to several useful MicroPython libraries and modules commonly used in Raspberry Pi Pico and ESP32 projects.
