Course Lesson 2 of 10: Basic Python to drive Raspberry Pi Pico 4WD Smart Car Kit

Welcome to Lesson 2 of the Raspberry Pi Pico Smart Car course by Robojax, presented by Ahmad Shamshiri. This course is built around the SunFounder Raspberry Pi Pico 4-Wheel Drive Smart Car Kit and is taught across 10 lessons. Each lesson introduces a new topic to help you build and control your own programmable car using Python and the Raspberry Pi Pico.

In this lesson, the focus is on learning the foundational Python programming concepts that will be used to operate the smart car in later lessons. Whether you're entirely new to Python or just new to using it in embedded systems, this video provides a beginner-friendly introduction.

Topics Covered

You’ll be introduced to 10 Python topics essential for controlling the Raspberry Pi Pico Smart Car. While the video doesn’t dive deeply into advanced programming, it ensures you’re familiar with the necessary basics to move motors, read sensor data, and build logic into your projects.

These are core principles that will help you:

• Understand how Python runs on a microcontroller

• Write clear, structured scripts

• Apply real-world logic to physical components

Although the lesson doesn't show full code examples, it emphasizes how each topic will be applied in subsequent lessons to bring the car to life.
