Useful information, especially the graphic showing the D1 Mini pinout.

I actually prepared stickers that I plan to stick on the female headers on them. Should make it much easier to do connections.pythoncoder wrote:Useful information, especially the graphic showing the D1 Mini pinout.

Re: Micropython Workshop in Zürich
Oh, how did I miss this! I should have started reading these forums earlier! Please be sure to post here again if you do a repeat, I would very much like to participate.
In fact I have been thinking about running a similar workshop at FabLab Winterthur, but focusing a bit more on Python and less on electronics, as that’s what I’m more familiar with. But I won’t have time for any preparation at least until the Zürich Mini Maker Faire (to which I just noticed you’re coming as well!). And lots of preparation will be necessary because I’m really a newbie to both MicroPython and the ESP8266. But your material should provide a nice starting point for that, thanks for making it public!

I will be repeating the workshop for sure. The nearest one will be at the PyCon.PL conference (in Poland), but I'm sure there will be more workshops in Zurich.

Re: Micropython Workshop in Zürich
I'm in the process of planning a MicroPython workshop too, in Cologne. But it probably won't happen before December / January.
I also recently gave a short (German) talk & demo on MicroPython:

Re: Micropython Workshop in Zürich
Amazing guide, thank you!
The only thing I'm missing is some information on using UART (like which pins should be used and how to send/receive messages) because you are skipping it by using already existing micropython libraries.
Cheers

Re: Micropython Workshop in Zürich
I'm actually not using UART anywhere in that workshop, with a library or without, and that is because MicroPython's support for UART on the ESP8266 is atrocious and certainly not anything I would recommend to beginners.
