This is an update to the sixth part of a multi-part series on Micropython. I had trouble in class today uploading a .py-file to an ESP8266 microcontroller running MicroPython using a command line tool called ampy. There was a trick getting ampy to work on with the ESP8266 microcontroller that …

This is the fifth part of a series of posts about building an Internet of Things (IoT) server with flask, Python and ESP8266 microcontrollers. In this post, we'll add a sqlite3 database to our flask IoT server to store all the temperature data points that come in from our ESP8266-based …

This is the sixth part of a multi-part series on Micropython. In this post, we will upload .py files to an Adafruit Feather Huzzah ESP8266 board using Python and a Python package called ampy. At the end of the post we will have a working WiFi weather station that will …

This is the fifth part of a multipart series on Micropython. In the last post we used the Micropython REPL (the Microcpython prompt) running on the Adafruit Feather Huzzah ESP8266 board to read the temperature off a temperature sensor. In this post, we are going to connect the Feather board to WiFi and post the temperature to ThingSpeak.com

This is the fourth part of a multipart series on Micropython. In this last post of the series, we blinked an LED on and off using Micropython. In this post, we will connect a temperature sensor to an Adafruit Feather Huzzah and use the Micropython REPL to read the temperature …
