Great tutorial, love your style of teaching! I'm an old fart at 71, and having only programmed in basic, this is a new adventure for me. Can't wait for part 3!

[ReidarVik]

Great. Looking forward to learn how to control things connected to the microcontroller via MicroPython.

[phmiii]

Excellent Lecture again! I look forward to Part 3.

Subbed, liked and waiting for more. Brilliant.

Awesome tutorial ! Very easy to follow along and understand .

You asked for suggestions so here's mine. I would like to see a systematic walk thru of the micro-python docs with a quick code example if one is not included in the docs. Also when you might want to use it in your code. Try to hit on most of the important methods. Just the machine module has enough classes to keep you busy for a while. Maybe work through the "micro-fied" libraries noting their uses and differences from regular python. If you are still game pick some of your favorite other libraries and spotlight them. You do a great job on your titles and start screens so keep that going. This could become a valuable resource for those learning micro-python.
EDIT: Just found your learn Beta. Looking good!. I hope you expand this to include some of my ideas above or at least do a video on how to read documentation. When I teach Arduino my students most asked question is "how did you know about that library" and my answer is "Google it". So far micro-python does not have as many resources when you Google. I look forward to you helping with that..

Just what I was looking for. Thanks Kevin!

Love the format. Very well produced. Earned my subscribe.

[martinnash]

That was great. An easy to understand format. Cannot wait for the next instalment.

One tiny thing about the Byte: you don't explain what the 0b in front of the bytes means. I'm dumbfold? on this level I expect an axplanation of even the most obvious things. Otherwise rally great explanation!

Well here's my prediction. We did a Exabyte in 2004. 12 years later a Zettabyte. So a Yottabyte 2028/29. 2031 a Ronnabyte and we will reach a Quetta byte by2033/34.
