1. The easiest way to get into microcontrollers for you is to buy @adafruit #pybadge or #pygamer and program it on #circuitpython, a limited version of #python.

2. #Rust will let you program anything and smartly utilize limited resources. Entry level is high.

3. #Golang strikes the balance. It's easy to learn and with #tinygo you can program any microcontrollers, including abovementioned pybadge.

@RenewedRebecca I personally used #tinygo for programming adafruit #pybadge and #gobot for programming a DJI Tello drone. In both cases, the experience was great.

@PlumpCat Good luck with your journey! Programming is fun, and #Python is very versatile. I use it to generate art, produce assets for my board game, power lots of websites, notify me about things, analyze and visualize data. Oh, and it pays my bills.

I've got #pybadge last week. However, I use #tinygo instead of Python to program it, which seems to me like a better fit for small places.

Been messing with a #PyBadge from #adafruit to show retro computer boot screens with a "HELLO". Need more work on the script to clear the displayio var and not mem crash. Also may have found a filament to mimic the C64 and A800 beige. #Polymaker PolyTerra matte PLA peanut color. My white balance also didn't play nice.
