I did one of these threads several months ago, when the site was new, and thought now was a good time to do another.

    Is python a good first pick if I primarily want ro tinker with electronics? I was thinking about trying to do the "automate the boring stuff" thing

        Guess it depends on what you're using. If you're using Pis or similar SoCs, and interfacing via GPIO, you can stick to high level.

      Sure, lots of libraries for sensors, controllers, etc. are available in Python. I'd say it's a great first pick.
