In the event you still read comments from old videos, I’d like to suggest that you wire your switches using the internal pullup resistor and the switch referenced to ground, rather than the way you do it now. It obviously makes no functional difference but it’s best practice to do it the other way around. Most older processors, including every 8-bit Arduino, do not have internal pulldown resistors, only pull ups. Doing this one way on one project, and another way on a different project, is likely to lead to code errors.

Been avoiding their Circuit python, because I didn't want to get locked into a single mfr. But, now I'm reconsidering that since it supports many other boards. I'll probably bite the bullet if/when circuitpython supports interrupts. PICO documentation, support, and proliferation throughout the maker community is very impressive. The best part is that the learning curve and coding is transferable between both products (don't overlook the Teensy) Each product has strengths and weaknesses, depending upon a project's requirements. Enjoy! :-)

I could use your advice. I been stuck between learning to program hardware with C/C++ or just going straight to learning python. I feel like this is going to be the new HUGE thing that's going to push C out of the way in the future. I already have Arduino boards, but am considering buying Circuit Python boards. The project I'm building up to, is building my own ebike controller that can run a BLDC motor with hall sensors. I just learned about this when I came across it this weekend. I started a project and then realized it was programmed in python. I feel like I can do a lot more knowing python over C as well.

I don't think it's a case of either/or. Like his analogy about having more than one needle nose pliers, oftentimes you need multiple tools in your chest so you can choose the best one for each particular job. (And no, Python is not going to push C out of the way because they serve different purposes). Very generally speaking, Python is easier and quicker to learn, whereas C/C++ tends to be more flexible, efficient, and faster. Many people (me included) use both; Python for simple projects, or quick prototyping, and C++ for finished projects. If you're new to programming, Python will likely get you off the ground faster. Would your project benefit from being ported to C/C++? Depends on the needs of the project.

I fully agree. The YT ads have become unbearable. The channels you've mentioned are among my favs, too. But, doesn't YT charge non-ad channels directly to compensate for the ad revenues? I wonder, how can those channels afford that expense? I'm retired and spend a significant time each day watching YT content. That's why I've chosen to eliminate them entirely by subscribing to YT Premium for only $12/mnth. That also includes downloadable offline free music & movies. Yeah, I know. Monthly bills are like a monkey on the back. But, IMO eliminating the aggravation and disruptions is worth the 40 cents per day. But, that's me. Hope this helps :-)

@@whitneydesignlabs8738 If you need very fast real-time response, then MicroPython or CircuitPython may not work because they have background work (particularly garbage collection) that can happen at any time. It's very fast to get started with Python so I always recommend starting with it first to see if it is good enough for your task. If it is too slow, then you can either switch to C fully or add a C module to *Python to do the real-time bits.

Interrupts (both timer and external) are used internally by CircuitPython but are not available in Python. Python code isn't very real-time so it's better to rely on the native modules for timing sensitive tasks. The goal of CircuitPython is to make it easy to piece together the native modules, not to make all of the low level feature of a microcontroller available to Python. (MicroPython does try to do this but it has other downsides like making hardware APIs inconsistent due to microcontroller specific functionality.)

It took me 3 days of searching the Internet to find a library that worked and then because I am still new to the pico I did not realize I was copying the libraries to the pico wrong. So I spent more time on the Internet, but I finally was able to get it working.
