Interfacing External LEDs
In the previous chapter, we learned how to work with a built-in programmable LED matrix display and a pair of programmable built-in push buttons. We are now comfortable with using them in our projects.
This chapter explores how to connect with external discrete LEDs and products based on them. We will create exciting projects involving LEDs. We will also use our knowledge of working with built-in buttons to add interactivity to our projects. After that, we will start creating electronic circuits and program them with MicroPython.
The following is the list of topics that we will explore in this chapter:
- Breadboards and solderless circuits
- LEDs and their programming
- Chaser effect
- RGB LED
- Seven-segment display
Let’s explore programming LEDs with MicroPython and a Micro:bit.
