✦ Synopsis

This book describes the basic principles of programming wireless Wi-Fi applications based on ESP8266-compatible boards using a MicroPython programming language. MicroPython is a lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 and includes a small subset of the Python standard library. MicroPython is optimized to run on most popular microcontrollers (ATSAMD21, STM32, ESP8266, etc.) and in constrained environments.
The book contains various projects of simple wireless measurement and control systems. Each project is accompanied by a brief description which helps to make things clear. All projects described in this guide can be easily improved or modified if necessary.
All wireless applications were build and tested on the desktop PC running Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) and a NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E) board equipped with ESP8266 CPU. The source code of applications was developed in Python 3 and MicroPython.
