Python has taken the world by storm as one of the most popular and beginner-friendly programming languages. While most people associate Python with web development, data science, and automation scripts, it’s also a powerful tool for embedded systems and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Embedded systems are specialized computer systems that control and monitor devices and machines. These can range from simple microcontrollers in household appliances to advanced systems running industrial robots, cars, and spacecraft.
With the rise of the IoT, more and more devices are being embedded with sensors, networking capabilities, and software to connect to the internet and exchange data. Python’s simplicity, code readability, and strong support for libraries make it well-suited for IoT and embedded programming.
Getting Started with Python Embedded Programming
The first step is to choose a development board or single-board computer to work with Python for embedded programming. Some popular options include:
- Raspberry Pi (Full Linux distro, more powerful)
