MicroPython is the recreated version of Python 3 that runs in the memory restricted microcontrollers with a minimum of 256KB of ROM and 16KB of RAM. MicroPython supports chips like ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, nRF52, W600, etc. MicroPython follows Python 3 syntax which makes it easy to programme for microcontrollers. The hardware APIs are capable of handling GPIO pins in microcontrollers. In this course we discuss the ESP32 dev module as the main controller which has a high level of flexibility in connecting with sensors, on-chip capabilities with onboard WiFi.

This book introduces a new approach to embedded development, grounded in modern, industry-standard JavaScript. Using the same language that powers web browsers and Node.js, the Moddable SDK empowers IoT developers to apply many of the same tools and techniques used to build sophisticated websites and mobile apps.

Based on the Blynk IoT platform, this book guides readers to create IoT projects through the project practice, the hardware in this book is a customized ESP8266 learning development board. This book first introduces some concepts of the Internet of Things, and introduces the method of constructing the Internet of Things development environment based on the understanding of the Internet of Things development board.

This book focuses on the various applications of the ESP8266 module with Arduino and JavaScript. The book includes the use of jQueryMobile to develop mobile web pages, zero-configuration network, instant temperature and humidity website, network light controller, ultrasonic control light brightness, use SD memory card to record temperature and humidity, Bluetooth robot remote control mobile app, control Arduino through mobile phone USB interface, mobile phone acceleration sensors, and other diversified examples.
