The Pico-W Python Group is a class where we're learning to program in Python as well as embedded programming concepts through short examples for the Pico-W.
|
Onboarding Materials
[edit | edit source]- We're working from the Lori Pfahler YouTube Pico-W Lessons
- So far, we've been providing the Pico-Ws for students, but if your a grownup, or just want to buy a few spares for trying thingss Adafruit usually has a supply
- [ Add meeting notes ala NB Tuesday Meetings]
- [ Github for the group?]
What to bring
[edit | edit source]We'll have Pico-W's in the space for kids to take with them. Each time please bring
- Your Pico-W and breadboard if you already have one plus any parts you've been using in the classs
- A computer with a free USB port that can run Thonny. So far we know that Windows and Apple both work. Newer Chromebooks that can add Linux easily work easily. Some older Chromebooks have a hard time installing Linux.
Afterwards
[edit | edit source]When the class ends at 4 PM all are welcome to head to the Sycamore for nibbles and board games.
Free to all - please donate to Noisebridge!
[edit | edit source]This meetup only happens because the Noisebridge community provides a space for it to exist. Maintaining the space and broader community is difficult and thankless work. The meetup is free, but if you want to help the community pay rent, please consider making a donation today. There are also physical, cash donation boxes throughout the space.
