Laravel Security In Depth

This book will teach you Python programming and some basic electronics without assuming any prior knowledge of either subject. The book initially focusses on Python programming, building up a Morse Code example.
The book is suitable for most ESP32 boards, but concentrates on the most popular ESP32 Lite and the ESP32 DevKit 1. In the chapters on electronics, breadboard layouts are provided for both of these boards.

Discover how to:

• Flash Python firmware onto an ESP32 board

• Install and use the Thonny Python editor and upload programs on to your ESP32

• Write simple programs to control the ESP32 in Python

• Structure you programs with functions and modules

• Make effective use of Python Lists and Dictionaries

• Attach sensors, LEDs, displays and servomotors to an ESP32 and to program them

• Make use of the ESP32s WiFi capabilities to use the ESP32 as a web server and to call web services on the Internet
