Hi everyone,

I would like to learn to program and built project using MicroControllers

I'm a Python dev. Therefore I would like to use it to program those.

But I've no idea where to start..

For the hardware:
- What will be the best Raspberry Pi or Arduino ?
  I know they are not the same thing but could tell me in which situation you use more one than the other ? Or do you use something else ?
Software
- I've already my IDE VisualCodium
  What is MicroPython Vs CircuitPython ?

If you have any resources I'm all eras.

Thanks.

So I would say that if you’re explicitly trying to use Python, a Pi is the way to go.

I will point out you can run micropython on a lot of embedded boards now. I haven't used it, so I don't know if it's actually good or if it's more like those software-gore "here is my python package for building web front ends that is somehow worse than JS" packages you always see on python boards

Ah true, good point.
