(Photo: Shekunj) The inauguration of Kerala's inaugural 3D-printed structure, a 380-square-foot single-room summer house, is scheduled to take place on October 10 at the Kerala State Nirmithi Kendra (Kesnik) campus located in PTP Nagar, Thiruvananthapuram. Conceived as a showcase initiative, the summer house named AMAZE-28 was successfully finished within a mere 28 days. This impressive project was executed by Tvasta, a construction technology startup based in Chennai, founded by alumni of IIT-Madras, who have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Kesnik. AMAZE-28 is perched upon a concrete foundation atop a gentle elevation within the Kesnik campus. Febi Varghese, the Director and Chief Executive Officer of Kesnik, p
This tutorial will guide you through setting up MicroPython on NodeMCU, getting a prompt, using WebREPL, connecting to the network and communicating with the Internet, using the hardware peripherals, and controlling some external components. Requirements – 1. NodeMCU Module 2. Laptop with Python installed. (Here I am using python 2.7). 3. Internet connection Connecting the board to Power- Connect the board to your laptop through USB to power it up. You can also give it external power supply at V in pin (shown in fig. below). Please refer to the documentation for your board for further details. Figure 1 : NodeMCU Module Firmware download – Download the most recent MicroPython firmware .bin file to load onto your NodeMCU device. You can download it from here , and place it in your python/Scripts directory from earlier (screenshot). Flashing the Firmware – Before flashing the firmware I assume that you have python (2.7) with pip tool.
