Got an recommendations on where to start for that? That sounds pretty cool
Most people these days get their hands on an Arduino or ESP32 to get started. Arduino is an entire ecosystem of C++ libraries and a framework that people have cobbled together to make programming microcontrollers easier on people not familiar with low level concepts. The IDE most people are using now is VS Code with the PlatformIO extension, since the Arduino IDE is kinda...bad.
I myself started in hardcore mode with a PIC microcontroller back in the late 2000s when it wasn't as easy to get into it. Back then, if you needed a procedure or abstraction layer to talk to a sensor, you had to write it yourself and figure out SPI communication protocols and such. Nowadays, someone has probably already made it for you.
