100 Days of IoT Projects using MicroPython – Seeking Feedback & Ideas

[kritishmohapatra]

Hi everyone 👋,

I’m a third-year Electrical Engineering student working on a self-challenge:
“100 Days, 100 IoT Projects” using MicroPython.

So far, I’ve completed 30+ projects using ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi Pico / Pico W, focusing on:

• Sensor interfacing
• Displays (OLED, LCD, 7-segment, LED matrix)
• Web servers with MicroPython
• RTC, counters, relay & PIR-based automation

I’m documenting each project with code, circuit explanation, and README to help beginners get started with MicroPython and embedded systems.

Since Adafruit Blinka plays a big role in making Python-based hardware development accessible, I wanted to share this here and ask:
• Are there any project ideas you’d recommend for beginners moving toward intermediate level?
• Any best practices I should follow while documenting such projects?

Thanks to the community for all the inspiration 🙌

There are many projects on https://learn.adafruit.com/. I would probably start with searching "blinka", Python Projects, and Raspberry Pi Projects. I would also take a look at the CircuitPython Projects because quite a few of those could use Blinka as well.

Thank you so much for the guidance, Melissa! 🙏

I’ll definitely explore the Blinka-related projects on learn.adafruit.com and look more closely at the Python and Raspberry Pi sections.
That’s a great point about CircuitPython projects as well — I’ll review those to see which ones can be adapted using Blinka and MicroPython concepts.

Really appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction. This is very helpful! 🙂

Of course. :) That's why we have the learn system. You may also want to check with other folks over on discord for more ideas.
