Controlling the hardware

In this section, I will describe how we can use the trained model on the real hardware.

MicroPython

For a very long time, the only option in embedded software development was using low-level languages like C or assembly. There are good reasons behind this: limited hardware capabilities, power-efficiency constraints, and the necessity of dealing with real-world events predictably. Using a low-level language, you normally have full control over the program execution and can optimize every tiny detail of your algorithm, which is great.

The downside of this is complexity in the development process, which becomes tricky, error-prone, and lengthy. Even for hobbyist projects that don't have very high efficiency standards, platforms like Arduino offer a quite limited set of languages, which normally includes C and C++.

MicroPython (http://micropython.org) provides an alternative to this low-level development by bringing the Python interpreter to microcontrollers...
