Micropython Basics

What is the main advantage of using functions in a program?

• They make the program run faster.

• They help organize code, making it more readable and reusable.

• They automatically correct errors in the code.

• They allow variables to store more data.

• To store and manage data values for later use.

What is the primary purpose of using variables in a program?

• To store and manage data values for later use.

• To make the program run faster.

• To display output on the screen.

• To check for errors in the code automatically.

You want to connect a picoboard to power an exteranl LED, that will permanently stay on. Which pins should it be connected to?

• 3V3

• Pin 25

• Pin 1

• GND

When creating the program code for a Micropython function, what code word starts the function?

• function

• func

• define

• def

Which programming language can a RP2040 microcontroller (pico board) chip use?

• Raspberry Pi

• Java

• HTML

• Micropython

What symbol can we use to add comments to Python and Micropython programs?

• @

• #

• %

• *

Which of these is a function parameter for this line of code?

led.value(0) # Turn LED off

• (0)

• led

• value

• Turn LED off

The start of a micropython program starts with the line

import machine

Why?

• It tells the program to run in MicroPython mode.

• It is required for all Python programs, even those not using hardware.

• It makes the program execute faster.

• It allows access to hardware-related functions like controlling GPIO pins.

Which of the following are true about this line of micropython

led1 = machine.Pin(15, machine.Pin.OUT)

• led1 is a variable

• led1 is a function

• machine is a module

• machine is a variable

Which of the following are true about this line of micropython?

led1 = machine.Pin(15, machine.Pin.OUT)

• machine.Pin is a function

• machine.Pin is a parameter

• (15, machine.Pin.OUT) is a parameter

• (15, machine.Pin.OUT) is a function
