Abstract
Now that we have a basic understanding of the XBee modules, we can learn more about programming in MicroPython—a very robust and powerful language that you can use to write very powerful applications. Mastering MicroPython is very easy, and some may suggest it doesn’t require any formal training to use. This is largely true, and thus you should be able to write MicroPython scripts with only a little bit of knowledge about the language.
