[EN] The MicroPython Internal File System.

This article is an implementation of the MicroPython file system using the esp8266 and esp32 microcontroller boards as an experimental board. The file system usage involves directories and files including connecting the device to be seen as a MicroPython file system, for example, connecting to an SD-Card to see it as a system directory, etc. It uses the os class to create, open, access, write data and disable files which will be part of MicroPython’s file class.

[EN] ESP8266/ESP32 WiFi

The ESP8266 and ESP32 boards are equipped with built-in WiFi connectivity. They can work in both self-application mode (Access Point) and client mode connected to an existing WiFi network or STA. Developers can set the device name (ESSID) or use the default name from the system as MicroPython-xxxx, where x represents the MAC Address of the device, the password is micropythoN (developers can assign new) and the IP Address (IP Address) is 192.168.4.1.

[EN] u8g2 Library

From the article on using the ESP8266 with an OLED graphical display written in Python, you’ll find that it’s fast and easy but when used with other microcontrollers that cannot use Micropython or CircuitPython, what must be done? One of the many options is the u8glib or u8g2 (Universal 8 bit Graphics Library) libraries, designed to work with monochromatic 8-bit graphics over either I2C or SPI communication. In this article, we are using I2C OLED as shown in Figure 1.

[EN] ESP Class

This article is a detailed look at the ESP.h file of esp8266 Arduino to learn the functions that are very useful for programming to control the operation of this microcontroller such as knowing the amount of memory remaining or the largest memory size that can be reserved. This is used if you want to write a program that uses dynamic memory to store a list of all found APs, for example, programmers can use this class directly from the ESP object.

[EN] ESP8266 WebServer

This article is an experiment to make the esp8266 microcontroller a web server to display temperature and humidity values from a DHT11 sensor using the Adafruit library as shown in Figure 1. When the microcontroller is run in SoftAP mode, the client or user connects to WiFi after using the browser to access 192.168.4.1 which is the IP of esp8266.

[EN] ESP-01s + Relay

This article is an application of the ESP-01s module connected to the ESP-01/01s Relay v4.0 as shown in Figure 1 to enable the relay to work. The example program is to turn the relay on and off via a web browser, which has been mentioned in some WebServer articles, but in addition to catching URLs for arguments to work.

[EN] Arduino : ESP8266 GPIO

In this article, we will learn about GPIO (General Purpose I/O) or pin connect to an external device of microcontroller with C++ of Arduino using esp8266 as reference chip. This can be applied to Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega or STM32 as well. Under this article, we describe the duty of the pin,  output and the input signal.
