Welcome to MicroPython for the Raspberry Pi Pico W, a book that will introduce you to the exciting world of microcontrollers and small-form Internet enabled devices, now revised and adapted to the popular Raspberry Pi Pico W microcontroller board.

The Raspberry Pi Pico W is an inexpensive, yet unbelievably powerful device. As far as software, the language of choice is MicroPython, a lightweight version of the Python language that is designed to run on devices with limited resources. Here are some of the topics covered in this course:

Gentle introduction to prototyping digital circuits without soldering.
Programming Raspberry Pi Pico microcontrollers using MicroPython, a minimalistic version of the Python programming language.
Connecting the microcontroller to your Wi-Fi router to download or upload information from the Internet.
Using a temperature and humidity sensor.
Displaying text and graphics on a small OLED screen.
Triggering actions as a result of pushing a button.

With this book you will learn how to create digital circuits that make use of Wi-Fi, sensors, screens and buttons, all using a "plug and play" approach that does not require soldering, and with the programming done in the familiar Python language.
