In this post, you'll learn how to install MicroPython on an ESP32 microcontroller. Micropython is a port, or version of Python designed to run on small, inexpensive, low-power microcontrollers. Examples of microcontrollers that MicroPython can run on include the pyboard, the WiPy and ESP8266-based boards like the Adafruit Feather Huzzah …

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 third part of a series of posts about building an Internet of Things (IoT) server with flask, Python and ESP8266 microcontrollers. In the last post, we reviewed server and hardware setup. In this post, we'll build a web API with flask and push temperature data to our …

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
