IMicroPython yinguqulelo emfutshane yolwimi lokubhala ikhowudi iPython esebenza ngqo kwi-microcontroller, leyo yitshiphu yekhompyutha encinci nesexabiso eliphantsi engaphakathi kwirobhothi, kwibhodi yeesensa okanye kwisixhobo esinxitywayo. Ayiyiyo into efana nayo nje okanye umlinganiso wokufundisa. Sisintaksi esifanayo kanye sePython esisetyenziswa yinzululwazi okanye ngumphuhlisi wewebhu, sinciphisiwe ukuze singene kwiikhilobhayithi ezimbalwa zememori size sifundiswe ukulawula iipini eziphathekayo, iimoto neziskrini. Izikolo ziyayifundisa kuba imi kwindawo eluncedo ephakathi: iyinyani ngaphezu kokutsala iibhloko, ithambile lee kunoseto olupheleleyo lwedesktop, kwaye inyanisekile ngokuba lulwimi abantwana abaza kusalwazi nasemva kweminyaka.

Kutheni ibalwa njengePython yokwenene

Igama elibalulekileyo kweli gama yiPython, ayisiyiyo iMicro. Xa umfundi ebhala for i in range(10): okanye echaza umsebenzi kwibhodi yeMicroPython, ubhala kanye oko ebeya kukubhala kwiPython esetyenziswa edyunivesithi, kumsebenzi wedatha, nakwiindawo ezininzi zoshishino lwesoftwe. Imithetho yamasangqa, yeeguqu-guqu, yoluhlu neyokushenxisa umgca iyafana kanye.

Oko kubalulekile kuba kuthetha ukuba umgudu uyadluliseleka. Umntwana ofunda ukufunda umyalezo wempazamo, ukulungisa impazamo yokuchwetheza, okanye ukuphinda alungiselele isangqa kwibhodi encinci yerobhothi wakha imikhwa efanayo aza kuyixhathisa kamva kumhleli wombhalo kwilaptop. Kuncinci kakhulu ekufuneka kulityelwe. Yithelekise loo nto namanye amathuluzi asebenzisa iibhloko kuphela, apho iingcinga zilungile kodwa isakhono esithile singadluliseli kulwimi umntwana oselula okanye umntu omdala aza kuludibana nalo ngokwenene.

I-REPL: chwetheza umgca, uyibone isenzeka

Uphawu oloyisa amagumbi okufundela amaninzi yi-REPL, isishunqulelo se-read-eval-print loop. Sisibhengezo osebenzisana naso: uchwetheza umgca omnye wekhowudi, ucofe u-enter, ize ibhodi yenze loo nto ngoko nangoko. Layita i-LED. Funda ubushushu. Jikelezisa imoto isiqingatha somzuzwana. Akukho kugcina, akukho nyathelo lokwakha, akukho kulinda.

Kumqalayo, loo mpendulo ekhawulezayo ixabiseke kakhulu. Umntwana oneminyaka elishumi unokuzama ngendlela ahlola ngayo nayiphi na enye into, ngokuyichukumisa abukele ukuba kwenzeka ntoni. Iimpazamo ziba tshiphu kwaye kukhawuleza ukuzilungisa endaweni yokuba lube ludonga oluyimfihlakalo. Xa isangqa phakathi kwengcinga nesiphumo esibonakalayo sisithatha imizuzwana embalwa, abafundi bazama izinto ezininzi, kwaye ukuzama izinto ezininzi kokona kufundwa ngako ukubhala ikhowudi ngokwenene.

Apho iibhloko zinikezela khona kumbhalo

Akukho nanye kwezi zinto eyenza ukubhala ikhowudi ngeebhloko kube kubi. Iibhloko ziyindawo elungileyo yokuqala, ingakumbi kubantwana abaselula. Zisusa uloyiko lweempazamo zokuchwetheza zize zivumele umfundi agxile kwingqiqo: kwenzeka le nto, emva koko kwenzeke leya, kwaye ukuba oku kuyinyani yenza enye into. Iibhloko zifundisa imilo yenkqubo phambi kokupela kwayo.

IMicroPython kulapho iibhloko zinikezela khona. Elo thuba lifika ngokwendalo xa umfundi eqala ukufumanisa ukuba iibhloko zicotha kunokucinga kwakhe, okanye efuna ukwenza into engekhoyo kwipalethi yeebhloko. Amathuluzi amaninzi alungileyo avumela umfundi ukuba atshintshe iprojekthi phakathi kweebhloko nePython elingana nazo, into eyenza olo tshintsho lube ngumthambeka othambileyo endaweni yeliwa. Ibhodi yerobhothiki esiyisebenzisayo kwiiklasi zethu ze-akhademi, i-sheenbot infinity, isebenzisa iMicroPython ngenxa yesi sizathu kanye: iprojekthi enye inokukhula nomntwana isuka kwiibhloko iye kwikhowudi yombhalo yokwenene ngaphandle kokutshintsha ihardware.

Ukuqalisa ekhaya okanye eklasini

Awufuni zinto zininzi ukuze uzame iMicroPython. Nalu uluhlu olufutshane lokujonga lomzali okanye lukatitshala:

• Ibhodi exhaswayo. Uninzi lwee-microcontroller zasegumbini lokufundela lusebenzisa iMicroPython okanye umzala wayo osondeleyo. Ibhodi enye yanele ukuqalisa; iseti yeklasi ingalinda.
• Intambo ye-USB nelaptop. Ibhodi iyaxhunywa ize ivele njengedrayivu encinci okanye njengonxibelelwano lwe-serial. Akukho laysensi yesoftwe ebizayo efunekayo.
• Umhleli one-REPL. Khetha umhleli wabaqalayo obonisa isibhengezo osebenzisana naso, ukuze umfundi akwazi ukuchwetheza umgca abukele ibhodi isabela.
• Injongo yokuqala encinci. Danyazisa isibane, uze usenze sidanyaze ngokukhawuleza. Uloyiso oluncinci lubetha iprojekthi enkulu emisayo kuseto.
• Isizathu sokuqhubeka. Iklasi yeveki nganye, iworkshop yeholide, okanye iprojekthi umntwana ayikhathaleleyo ngokwenene idlulisa umqalayo kudano lokuqala.

Ukuba awufuni kuzihlanganisela ngokwakho, iklasi ekhokelwayo yenza useto nesantya egameni lakho. Ungabhukisha isifundo sovavanyo simahla ukuze ubone ukuba le ndlela iyamfanela na umntwana wakho, okanye ukhangele iibhodi neekhithi kwivenkile ukuba ufuna ukuqala ngokuzenzela ekhaya. Nokuba yeyiphi indlela, ixabiso leMicroPython liyafana: kukubhala ikhowudi kokwenene, isabela ngoko nangoko, kwaye akukho nto ichithakalayo xa umntwana wakho esiya kwinto elandelayo.
