Take your Raspberry Pi Pico programming skills to the next level! 🚦 In this video, we explore two essential principles of Object-Oriented Design—classes and inheritance—and apply them to enhance our traffic light system.

Instead of using three separate LEDs for Red, Yellow, and Green, we’ll upgrade our design to use a single RGB LED (pixel). By leveraging inheritance, we’ll reuse and extend our previous traffic light class, overriding specific methods to create a smarter and more efficient implementation.

What You’ll Learn:

The basics of classes and inheritance in Python.
How to reuse and extend existing code using object-oriented principles.
Working with an RGB LED to simplify your traffic light system design.
Practical use of the Pixel class from the PicoLibrary repository.
