Sessions
This workshop will explore the use of MicroPython on a Raspberry Pi Pico board in an Internet of Things context.
Participants will learn how to use sensors and timers via MicroPython to collect data and deliver it to a collection service via a WiFi connection or display it locally via a web browser.
The workshop will begin with a short lecture describing the capabilities of the hardware then participants will be supported to work on a number of mini projects designed to demonstrate some common usage scenarios for this and similar low cost hardware.
