Raspberry Pi Pico W LESSON 66: Create Your Own Libraries in Micropython

You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will help me keep my gear updated, and help me keep this quality content coming:

In this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.

In this video, I will show you how to do object oriented programming in micropython using classes and methods. I will show you how to create your own libraries from functions, classes and methods you develop. This helps you to seamlessly reuse useful code you develop

Thanks Paul, I love your work. And I use many of your ideas in my STEM class.

A great video for creating libraries. Love your detailed explanations. Your content always makes perfect sense. I wish all content providers did such a wonderful job explaining the details. Anytime i need to understand complex instructions, i search for your content. Thanks Paul!

ty for your hard work Paul, never stop :)

Cool to right a library rather than remembering where you used it so you could copy the code. Thanks Paul!

I just rewatched this lesson and goofed with it. WOW. Stuff like time.sleep make sense. When you gave lessons on the wifi stuff and hid the passwords. I was baffled. I think this is what was going on. YATHZEE! thanks for all the lessons. Also there wasn't a servo library for the Pico W? To me that seems lazy on the Raspberry developers. Like releasing an iPhone that can't text message.

This will give us a GOOD tool to use in other projects! Thank You Paul!

Hello Paul,
Great guide. I love details like this about the micro-accelerometers.
Back to Micropython + PicoW.
You import libraries inside the class so that the class will have everything it needs to do the job.
My concern about PicoW's RAM is that if I run a project with more than one class, each class will import the same library.
I know the libraries are stored in flash, but could you share your observations on how this approach will affect RAM and RAM fragmentation.

I am going to hate missing today, I have a doctors appointment. I will have to watch this afternoon. Have a Great Class!

Thanks Paul! Looking forward to next week's lesson...

Thank you for clearing this up for me!

As others have said, this lesson helps clarify some things.

Thank you because you made me understand oop easily

"without all this nonsense ..." Would that be in the lesson where we learnt how to write that nonsense?😁 Great info as always. THANKS - not thanks.py ... see I'm learning

M.r Paul, thank you for all of your nice tutorials...
I have also a question. how can I import something like datetime module into thonny environment and finally use it in raspberry pi pico w?
Thank you

Great video! Quick question regarding 5:53. Let's say I need to power my servo with 6v. I connect brown and red to +6V, orange to pico, brown to pico, and I power pico from USB.

Is there any possibility, that this external 6v will damage my pico and my computer in case of anything bad happens with the servo? If yes, how to prevent this?

Thank you for the great session.
I have one question. I want to use the newly created lib also in other projects. What is the best way to do it. I could use "softlink", but I think, this is not the best way. Do you have any idea?
