In our very first MicroPython tutorial, we learned how to blink an LED but we could only turn it fully on or off - we didn't have the ability to change its brightness or colour. What if we did? You could create the most fantastic shows of light and colour - using Neopixels!

We rely a lot on our eyesight to detect movement in our environment. But smart light-switches are able to detect your movement in a pitch dark hallway and turn on the lights for you. How do they do that? Today we'll learn how, and even build our own smart light using MicroPython!

Whether you want to check for a fever, monitor the conditions in a greenhouse or protect your satellite in the freezing cold of outer space, you need to measure the temperature of your system. But have you ever wondered how a digital thermometer actually works?

Knobs are a universal way of controlling devices - you use them on stoves to control the temperature, on speakers to control the volume, and on Russian spacecraft to control...space stuff. But have you ever wondered how they work?

What is the "hello world" of embedded software? Why, blinking an LED, of course! In this first tutorial, we'll get you acquainted with the fundamentals of MicroPython and more importantly, the online simulator we'll be using for all the tutorials. That's right, an online simulator!

Are we alone in the universe? What if there are no aliens out there? Worse yet, what if they’re right here, and we can’t even know it?
leadership
Two major issues that erode code quality in a company are * unnecessary code duplication, and * non-standard coding style. To tackle these, I held meetings with my team to identify common functionalities that everyone expects (and often repeatedly re-implements) in their software modules. From these meetings, I gathered all these common

What technologies/methods do you use to help you sleep at night? What do you wish was better? I reached out to people in sleep communities on facebook and reddit to find out.
