• Description:
As of 2017, Python is the most popular programming language. Typically, it's used on traditional computers, but fortunately the MicroPython Project (https://micropython.org) has ported it to microcontrollers and SoCs like the ESP8266.
In this video, I go through the steps of getting MicroPython running on the ESP8266. I use the REPL interface to interact with the built-in LED and an OLED screen. Then, I use the AccuWeather API to build a simple Weather Station to display climate conditions of any region—I used Sydney, AU in this example.
