Functions & Global Variables | Raspberry Pi Pico Workshop: Chapter 3.6

🔗 *The full course* : _https://core-electronics.com.au/courses/raspberry-pi-pico-workshop/_ In this video, we are going to learn all about *functions* in *MicropPython* . Functions are just a way of storing a piece of code away, giving it a name, and then running that code when we call its name. This is a great tool to use when we have sections of *code* that need to be *repeated*. We will also be covering some tricky caveats when dealing with functions, namely; parameters, arguments, and *local and global variables*. 🔧🔨🧰 Hardware featured in this guide: *Raspberry Pi Pico:* _https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/CE08704_ *The Pico Variants:* _https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/pico.html#category_2118_ 💡❓ If you have any questions about this content or want to share a project you're working on head over to our *maker forum:* _http://coreelec.io/forum_ 0:00 What are Functions? 1:06 Flashing SOS with a Function 3:10 Passing Information In and Out of Functions 7:00 Local and Global Variables 9:50 Moving Filter Example 13:54 When to Use Functions 🌏🦘 *Core Electronics* is located in the heart of Newcastle, Australia.
