External (hardware) and timer interrupts in microPython


https://www.electronics-lab.com/project/external-hardware-and-timer-interrupts-in-micropython/

Do you know how to use external (hardware) and timer interrupts in microPython?. There is a way of guaranteeing that some code will be executed upon an external event (button press, etc) or a time passing. In today’s post, we will explore how the external and timer interrupts work. This will be done by blinking […]

Laser distance sensor with OLED display and RP2040


https://www.electronics-lab.com/project/laser-distance-sensor-with-oled-display-and-rp2040/
