Install the Arduino IDE from a free download and set up the ESP32 board manager. Install the Arduino over-the-air programming library and upload code to enable wireless ESP programming.
Create an ESP32 web server to control two LEDs on pins 14 and 26 via a mobile-friendly page on the local network. Upload code via serial and access by IP.
Build an ESP32-based web server that reads temperature and humidity from the DHT11 sensor and displays live values on a web page, with the page refreshing every 10 seconds.
Master Arduino programming with Python through hands-on, project-based learning that blends embedded systems fundamentals, hardware design, and real-world IoT applications such as home automation and robotics.
Bridge Two Powerful Worlds: Python and Arduino
This course equips you to combine Python’s programming flexibility with Arduino’s hardware control. You’ll learn how to build systems where your PC or Raspberry Pi runs Python scripts that communicate with and control Arduino via serial interfaces.
Whether for automation, data logging, testing, or interactive projects, you’ll gain the skills to build hybrid systems that leverage the strengths of both platforms.
Course Highlights:
Communication Setup: Learn to establish seamless communication between Python and the Arduino development board through the serial port.
LED Control: Dive into practical Python code to control LEDs via the Arduino's serial port.
Sensor Data Display: Discover how to display sensor data in real-time on your Python terminal.
Data Upload to ThinkSpeak: Explore the world of IoT as you upload sensor data to the ThinkSpeak platform using Python code.
