Explore MicroPython on an ESP32 microcontroller for Internet of Things applications. Learn how to use sensors and timers to collect data and deliver it to a collection service via a WiFi connection. The opening short lecture will describe the capabilities of the hardware, then we're into hands-on projects demonstrating common applications for this and similar low-cost hardware, individually or in groups. The afternoon session will feature more-advanced projects.
Did you attend last year? The program will be largely similar. You are invited to work-through the advanced programme and/or on your own project; or assist others.
You will be comfortable with Python flow control, writing custom-functions, and utilising built-in data-structures.
Bring a laptop with a USB-A port. The microcontroller board has a USB-C connector and a USB-A to USB-C cable will be provided.
