🚗 Tutorial 13: Building a “Park Assist” System with MicroPython on the Raspberry Pi Pico
In this episode of the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with MicroPython on the *MicroPython on the Raspberry Pi Pico* tutorial series, we take things to the next level by building a *Park Assist System* — just like the one in modern cars!
Using an *HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor**, a **Piezo Buzzer**, and a **NeoPixel Lightstrip**, we design and code a complete parking distance warning system. The **buzzer frequency increases* as the object gets closer, and the *lightstrip progressively fills* to indicate proximity.
You’ll learn how to build a modular, object-oriented architecture for the system using:
A `Sensor` class for distance measurement
A `Buzzer` class for audible feedback
A `LightStrip` class for visual indication
A new `ParkAssist` class that brings everything together seamlessly
We walk through the **object design, simulation in Wokwi**, and **real hardware implementation**, showing how to combine multiple classes into a cohesive, extensible design.
🔧 *Concepts covered:*
Sensor integration with MicroPython
Real-time response design
