PiBody Documentation

Welcome to the PiBody documentation site.

PiBody is an educational microcontroller board based on Raspberry Pico W, programmed in MicroPython. This site documents the pibody package — the firmware library that provides a high-level API for all onboard and pluggable peripherals.

Quick start

from pibody import LED

led = LED("A")    # LED on slot A
led.on()          # turn on
led.off()         # turn off

from pibody import Button

btn = Button("B")      # Button on slot B
if btn.value() == 1:   # read
    print("pressed!")
