Microcontroller platforms are on the rise, thanks to the growing popularity of the Maker Movement and the Internet of Things. Platforms like Arduino are receiving a lot of attention in particular, as they allow developers just like you to use their skills and dive into electronic projects.
You learned how to:
- Develop applications with Arduino and Python
- Use the Firmata protocol
- Control analog and digital inputs and outputs
- Integrate sensors with higher-level Python applications
You also saw how Firmata may be a very interesting alternative for projects that demand a PC and depend on sensor data. Plus, it’s an easy way to get started with Arduino if you already know Python!
Congratulations, you made it to the end of the course! What’s your #1 takeaway or favorite thing you learned? How are you going to put your newfound skills to use? Leave a comment in the discussion section and let us know.

Thanks, I learned a lot. Will be ordering my supplies so that I can play around and continue to learn how to use Python in this manner. My son also has several applications on his small farm that he would like to automate if possible.
