My Robot Dodges Obstacles, and I Never Coded It

Block coding usually stops at the simulator. This one drives a real robot around a real book — and the code underneath is MicroPython you can open, read and keep editing by hand.

MicroPython's .mpy Format Explained — and How to Use It With One Right-Click

Smaller files, faster imports, less peak memory at the exact moment your board is most likely to crash — .mpy does all three, and it's one right-click away in Snakie.

What If Building Robots With Code Was Actually Easy?

What would a code editor look like if it was actually designed around building robots, instead of just editing text? I built the answer, and Adafruit noticed too.

From Code to Create Part 3: Going Wireless with the Pico W

The WiFi part is easy. The interesting question is what you want your data to do. Let's get a Pico W on the internet and our sensor readings onto a phone — from anywhere in the world.

Happy 13th Birthday MicroPython!

MicroPython turns 13 today — and what better way to celebrate than with a tour of the best MicroPython resources around, plus a hands-on look at Arduino's new MicroPython IDE, the Arduino MicroPython Installer, and how it all compares to Thonny.

Why are Bus Servos better?

Tired of jittery hobby servos, messy wiring and no feedback? Bus servos fix all three. Let's wire up the Feetech STS3215, daisy chain two of them, and control them with MicroPython on a Pico.
