Micro Examples

This repository is serving as a cheatsheet of sorts, taking from many sources and transposing into a collection of runnable examples using platform.io and mostly targetting esp8266 dev boards, although with platformio should be easily adaptable.

Compiling / Running

1. Copy _config/secrets.template.h as _config/secrets.h and fill in with your credentials as needed.

• NOTE: secrets.h is gitignored so this shouldn't be a problem if you fork the repo, just noting here as an FYI

2. Each sub directory is a standalone platformio project, refer to the platformio docs for details (I'll add info around this here when I get a chance)

Hardware

As mentioned most of the examples target the esp8266 type development boards. More specifically I tend to use the Witty Cloud boards like the one found here or the Wemos D1 mini as they are cheap and convenient for prototyping.

PlatformIO CLI Commands

• pio run will build the project (run from within a sub directory)
• pio run -t upload to upload to board
• pio run -t clean to clean/prep for fresh build
• pio device monitor to open serial monitor
