Micropython Workshop in Zürich
Micropython Workshop in Zürich
We are going to be running a workshop, teaching the basics of microcontroller programming with Micropython and the ESP8266 board. We already have the time for it, 2016-06-23 at 18:30, and the place will be decided shortly.
We are also preparing the materials for the workshop, and they are available at http://micropython-on-esp8266-workshop.readthedocs.io/ so you can organize your own workshops. The materials are a work in progress right now, but should be finalized until 23rd.

Hi deshipu,
Very nice event! I cannot come but I am interested on the materials for teaching.
NodeMCU AMICA seems very interesting. What is the Flash size? 4 MB?
Thanks

Re: Micropython Workshop in Zürich
Yes, the flash size on the boards I got at least is 4MB.

Re: Micropython Workshop in Zürich
So the workshop is now over, and I think it went very well. We mostly did the "basics" part, because our time was limited, though.
If anybody would like to organize such a workshop, all the materials -- including the firmware binary -- are available at http://micropython-on-esp8266-workshop.readthedocs.io/ and I can help with advice, at least.

Re: Micropython Workshop in Zürich
Thank you very much.
Great job.
I am interested.
Advice :
1. for putting in the easiest way the main file or other files into the device are welcome.
2. Low cost and reliable esp8266 board
Thanks in advance

@photoaccoustic 1. Use webrepl http://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic. ... epl#p12093
2. You might consider the WeMos D1 mini.

Re: Micropython Workshop in Zürich
Thanks for suggestions.
Is it possible to connect esp8266 to the computer directly via wifi without other wifi network?
Actually I use my phone as gateway in order to get access to the esp8266 with webrepl.
Thanks in advance

Re: Micropython Workshop in Zürich
Yes, by default when you flash MicroPython on the ESP8266 boards, they act as an access point, with ESSID set to [part of mac]-MicroPython. You can connect to that WiFi network directly.photoacoustic wrote:Is it possible to connect esp8266 to the computer directly via wifi without other wifi network?
Re: Micropython Workshop in Zürich
In the next installment of this workshop, I decided to use the WeMos D1 Mini boards, so I forked the original workshop materials page to change all the releavant fragments. The new page is at http://micropython-on-wemos-d1-mini.readthedocs.io/
I also added a chapter about the available WeMos shields.
