With the introduction of microcontroller boards, it is possible to program a large portion of the logic for projects in high-level languages such as Python or Arduino. These languages use modules and libraries that can make it easier to program hardware. Low-level languages such as the assembly language can be embedded in higher-level languages like MicroPython. Libraries can sometimes be used to offload heavy lifting tasks while keeping the main logic readable and ...
