Programming the Web of Things with Python and MicroPython
summary
Shows MicroPython running on an esp8266 dev board (≈3€ chip) with a USB serial REPL at 115200 baud, blinking LEDs and reading a temperature sensor every 5s, publishing readings via MQTT publish/subscribe to a Raspberry Pi broker, logging to an SD card and stamping with an external real‑time clock. Demonstrates sockets and micro‑requests, tooling like mpfshell to push files, tight resource limits (36 KB RAM, 4 MB flash) and that the demos actually run end to end.
