In this post, you will see how to use Python to communicate with an Arduino and read a sensor. In particular, the sensor we'll use is a potentiometer. The potentiometer will connect to an Arduino microcontroller and the Arduino will communicate with a Python script using the PySerial package. Python …

This is the sixth 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 some code to our ESP8266-based weather stations. The code we upload to the ESP8266 microcontrollers programs the WiFi weather stations to …

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 fourth part of a series of posts about building an Internet of Things (IoT) server with flask, Python and ESP8266 microcontrollers. In the last post of the series, we reviewed how to build a web API with flask which accepts temperature measurements. In this post, we'll build …

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 …
