Microcontrollers for Makers - Pt 3
Microcontrollers for Makers is a multi-part series aimed at introducing programmable electronic platforms for robotics, wearables, monitors and the "Internet of Things". Part 3 focuses on the ESP8266 microcontroller and the Arduino development environment update for use with these low-power, low-cost, WiFi enabled chips. The class will show how to program the ESP8266 using the Wiring-based Arduino language, and focuses on the nuances of using this low cost device to enable "Internet of Things" applications. The ESP8266 is ideal for controller projects where you'd like to integrate / leave behind the microcontroller (chips cost only a few dollars each) and also have WiFi connectivity to the device, either as a client or server for control and information.
It is highly recommended that students bring their own laptop for programming the ESP8266, along with a breadboard, jumper wires (both male-to-male and female to male). The workshop materials fee includes an ESP8266 board (ESP12) and an FTDI Friend compatible Serial to USB device to program the ESP8266 board.
Instructor: Thomas Tongue
Class Fee: $40 plus ticket fee
Workshop Materials Fee: $20 (includes ESP12 and FTDI Friend compatible Serial to USB device for programming).
Date/Time: Friday, June 5th from 6:30pm - 9:30pm
