Adventures with MicroPython workshop

The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) is home to the world's largest collection of working historic computers.Follow the development of computing: from the Turing-Welchman Bombe and Colossus of the 1940s through the large systems and mainframes of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, to the rise of personal computing and the rise of mobile computing and the internet.Recognised as one of England’s top 100 ‘irreplaceable places’, we welcome corporate and group visits, schools and individuals from all over the world.We are normally open Tuesday to Friday 10:30 -17:00, Saturday & Sunday 10:30 – 17:00. Please check tickets for actual opening days and times.TNMOC operates independently of Bletchley Park Trust, although we are located on the Bletchley Park Estate.To visit us, go through the main Bletchley Park entrance, through the barrier, walk or drive bearing left beyond the main car parks, to our separate entrance located at the top of the Park.Visit their website here for more information.https://www.tnmoc.org/Sat Nav users: please use the postcode for the railway station MK3 6DS on Sherwood Drive and then follow signs. The postcode for Bletchley Park will actually take you to an old entrance which is closed.

The National Museum of Computing

Raspberry Pi Pico – Analogue SensorsThis workshop will give you hands-on knowledge to use the Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 for analogue sensors. You will be writing MicroPython code for using analogue temperature and light sensors. You will also acquire a foundation of electronics for sensors on the Pico’s ADC ports. This course will use our Pico Development Kit, which you will take away with you at the end.We shall start with a skeleton program that sets up the Pico on the Development motherboard and learn some debugging techniques. Then you will add electronics and MicroPython code to build a working system that monitors, then reports and logs changes in temperature and light conditions. For each stage, an explanation will be given so that you can use it in your own projects.At the end of the workshop, you will be able to develop MicroPython code and electronics for analogue sensors on the Raspberry Pi Pico. You will understand some of the strengths and limitations of the Pico and how to avoid some of the problems that await the uninitiated. This workshop is an ideal lead-in to the TNMOC Raspberry Pi Pico Digital Sensors workshop.Kit includes: Kits are to collected on the day of the workshop - If purchased as gift we will email a voucher out E﻿xpansion boardA﻿nalogue sensor Board (light &amp; Temperature)R﻿aspberryPi PicoParticipants must bring their own laptop, if you require us to loan you one please advise us in advance by selecting the borrow a laptop ticketU﻿nder 18's are required to be supported by an accompanying adultT﻿he workshop include full access to the museum between 10:30-17:00
