Welcome!

This 2 hour workshop will introduce you to using CircuitPython to bridge the digital and physical worlds. You'll learn how to program a small, specialized computer (a microcontroller) to control devices in the physical world. This workshop is hands on and you will:

• wire up a circuit
• program a microcontroller
• build an electronic instrument to measure reaction time
• use the instrument to generate data on your reaction time

To get started, download and install the Mu python editor from: https://codewith.mu/

Please also download the examples and slides from the latest release here: https://github.com/cbs-ntcore/CircuitPythonWorkshop/releases/latest

For instructors and/or independent study

The course material is divided into:

• a list of parts to order for each participant
• a project template (used for all examples)
• lecture slides
• example code

To aid initial learning the microcontrollers are preloaded with CircuitPython (and a few libraries). For instructors (or those following independent study, see 'template' for setup instructions).
