Scripts and games for the ESP8266 in (micro)python

This are some scripts and games I made for my Esp board.

IE: Pong game, jumping game, temperature reading graph via serial connection, knightrider leds

Im no expert on this area, but if you have any questions feel free to contact me

Prerequisites

• Firmware
• Ampy

To access serial connections without root permission see this fix

Pinlayout

I pinned my ESP board on a breadboard with the MicroUSB facing up. Below i listed the breadboard lines that correspond with the ESP pins

Right side

• 8 - gpio14
• 9 - gpio12
• 10 - gpio13
• 11 - gpio15
• 12 - gpio0
• 13 - gpio16 (no Pwm)
• 14 - gpio2
• 15 - i2c SCL
• 16 - i2c SDA

Left side

• 2 - 3v
• 3 - NC?
• 4 - Ground
• 5 - Adc in (MAX 1v!!!)

Devices

Please note that these are the devices i got in my kit. And might differ from yours. Please check before connection your own devices

Led

• Connect long leg to a gpio or any Vs
• Connect short leg to ground
• Use red red brown gold resistor (Asuming 3v is used)
• Or yellow purple brown gold resistor (Asuming 3v is used)

Button

• cros connect (IE top left - right bottom)
• value (0) means pressed

Servo-motor

• Connect the yellow line to a gpio port
• Connect the brown line to ground
• Connect the red line to a 5v supply. Esp doesnt have that so i used a battery pack
• Connect a condensator between 5v line and grnd(short leg 5v, long leg grnd)

Motor

• Connect the red line of the motor to diode white line of diode on the redline side
• Connect the blue line of the motor on the end of that diode
• Connect that to middle pin of a transistor
• Connect the Right pin of the transistor to ground
• Connect the left pin of the transistor with a brown black orange gold resistor to ground
• After resistor on the transistor line connect to a gpio pin

TMP36

• Facing the flat side
• Connect the right pin to ground
• Connect the left pin to 3v supply
• Connect the middle to the Adc pin on the Esp
• With hot temperatures the Adc pin might get overloaded so expirement with resistor

Potentiometer

• Arrow facing up
• Connect the right pin ground
• Connect the middle to the Adc pin on the Esp
• Connect the left pin with 3 times a brown black orange resistor to 3v supply

Ampy commands

Im on a Ubuntu 16.04 my serial port = /dev/ttyUSB0 for windows is will be something like COM3

Run a file (ctrl + c doesnt stop the script from running just detaches your terminal)

ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 run test.py

Put a file on the board

ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 put test.py

Remove a file from the board

ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 rm test.py

List files on the board

ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 ls
