MicroPython turns any ESP32 or Pico into a board you can program in plain Python — no toolchain, just a REPL. These tutorials cover environment setup with Thonny and VS Code, sensor drivers, WiFi and MQTT, and the patterns that make embedded Python reliable. Pair them with a MicroPython-ready board below.
