Learn how to use timer interrupts (timers and event handling) with the ESP32 and ESP8266 programmed with MicroPython. Timer interrupts allow you to schedule and execute specific tasks at regular intervals or after a designated time delay.
The article explores the benefits and uses of MicroPython in embedded systems, particularly on MicroPython-capable chips like the Raspberry Pi Pico. The author describes how MicroPython's Read-Evaluate-Print Loop (REPL) makes it an excellent tool for board bringup, rapid prototyping, debugging, and exploring peripherals. The article also covers the batteries-included aspect of MicroPython, featuring a wide range of libraries available for use.
Arduino Alvik: A Cross-Discipline Tool for Robotics and Programming
* Easy programming: The Alvik is powered by the versatile Nano ESP32, which streamlines the learning curve in robotics with its comprehensive programming suite that includes MicroPython and Arduino language.
