UCUq #
To use UCUq with the Wokwi simulator, see the dedicated page.
UCUq is a Python library designed to facilitate the prototyping of kits based on microcontrollers (Raspberry Pi Pico (2) W, ESP32, ESP8266…).
Microcontrollers are inexpensive electronic components that are extremely widespread. They are found in household appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, coffee makers…), mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, connected watches…), automobiles (engine management systems, infotainment systems, safety systems (airbags, ABS…)), leisure equipments (drones, game consoles…), industrial equipments…
These microcontrollers are also at the heart of many commercially available electronic and/or robotic kits, but you can also easily and inexpensively create your own kits from scratch (like the one above left).
To support the development of the Internet of things, many of these microcontrollers can be controlled remotely, thanks to Wi-Fi in particular, which is precisely what UCUq facilitates.
In case you don’t have the right equipment, you can use the Wokwi online simulator, as described on the dedicated page. This simulator is used for below demonstrations.
