Microcontrollers such as the ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico W have an inbuilt WiFi interface. This brings a very powerful communications system to your projects. Your code now has access to the full Internet and other devices can now interact with your project over the wireless signal.
In this tutorial I'll show you how to connect to WiFi using Micropython on a Raspberry Pi Pico. We'll pull data from a web based API and then build a web page interface to allow use to control our microcontroller project and pull data from it.

Hands down, THE best tutorial I have ever come across.

Thanks. Glad you found it useful.

Bob, Thanks for this fantastic series of tutorials on webserver for Pico.

@BytesNBits Год назад

Thank you very much. I hope you've found them useful.

@tenapier Год назад

This is excellent! Thank you for your teaching and explanations, this is just what I needed to help learn the Pi Pico W and Micropython!

Glad it was helpful!

I’m glad I found this video and your channel. Your explanation really helped me. I’m looking forward to the follow up with REST! Also, looking to learn a simple way to pass variables via get or post that can then be used elsewhere in the code.

@BytesNBits Год назад

Hi. Glad you found it useful. The REST API video should be out this weekend. It will cover data passing in both directions.

I have an idea for a project for you on your channel. It would be for a timelock device (like for a bank, but for personal use). It would comprise a scheduler, a calender, a schedule, perhaps an mqtt interface, and an a hardware interlock for actuating door lock relays. If you consult, and are interested, please quote me. I've looked at iec61131 and openplc to do this, but it has to be designed properly, and tested. Having an open source program would create a community, and I think that such a project would be very popular. I have a garden that I must tend, haven't coded for years, and also have other building construction that I is higher priority.

Awesome. 19:50: You can get the correct time every night or so (and at startup) - maybe from a button. I like clocks.

Yes. Having the Internet opens up a lot of useful opportunities.

@gmailmisev Год назад

I watched this whole series today and learned a lot. Thank you for the videos! May i ask what editor you are using for the python code?

@BytesNBits Год назад

Thanks for our comments. I use PyCharm for coding in Python. The community edition is free. I did make a setup video a while back as an intro to micropython.

@3phasetinkerer 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for this excellent video. I will expand this to a mobile robot control. Currently controlling using RC PWM via Pico and I though I could expand to DIY telemetry if the processing power and signal is solid.

@BytesNBits 9 месяцев назад

Sounds great! Let me know how you get on.

@qualityphotos1 Год назад

Thank you ... I am an absolute beginner when it comes to MicroPython ... your video is excellent. Instead of the Raspberry Pi Pico I am using an ESP8266 Node MCU and the Mu editor. The only change that I found necessary to adapt your code to my ESP8266 was to change the 3 to a 5 when reporting a successful connection ... for some reason wlan.status() returns a different set of numbers when using an ESP8266. I look forward to your future videos

Excellent tutorial, thanks ! I have one query. How do you actually load the simpleled.html file to PicoPi from PyCharm ?

@BytesNBits Месяц назад

If you right click on a file you'll get the option to Run 'Flash..... This will upload it to the Pi Pico.

@wyngreece7 9 месяцев назад

Excellent video! I have an sensor and i want to display new values every 2 seconds. Could this be done without refresh the page? Something like ajax method. Pico return the date to javascript, and javascript change data via ellement id

@BytesNBits 9 месяцев назад

Yes. Create a read data API endpoint and use it to read the data every 2 seconds.

@MrBobWareham 10 месяцев назад

A very nice video, can I use ESP32 and Thonny to follow along with this tutorial?

@BytesNBits 10 месяцев назад

This video should work fine on the ESP32. Some of the later videos in the series will need adjusting as the ESP32 handles multiple cores and async processing differently to the Pi Pico.

@tubenutzer0007 8 месяцев назад

In terms of content, I am looking for a way to store the access data for the WLAN securely, i.e. not in a separate file as plain text. As the RP2040 does not have a CryptoChip, the integration of an external chip such as the ATECC608A would be a possibility. But to be honest, that's a bit too much for me without help...

@BytesNBits 8 месяцев назад

Sounds like an interesting project.

@Neil264Hoskins 3 месяца назад

In ap mode, did you need to turn off the sim on the phone?

@BytesNBits 3 месяца назад

The sim shouldn't get in the way. You should see it as just another wifi network to connect to.

@Amalokch Год назад

Stupid question: is there a way to program the pi pico w over wifi?

@BytesNBits Год назад

Not such a stupid question. Not directly. You'd need some sort of base image running in the Pico that allows the files to be uploaded. I'm not sure if that exists yet for the Pico but it's not unfeasible. Have a search on Google.

@Amalokch Год назад

@@BytesNBits Thanks for not calling it stupid 😀, I indeed did some google foo and found something called "OTA" (Over the air) update like JFrog, it seems is used for large companies when they need to updates hundreds of IoT devices (pi Pico w). Perhaps a future video about it?

@gaderishi Год назад

Can it be controlled by any place in the world

@BytesNBits Год назад

You'd need to expose your Pico through your router. By default your home router won't let external traffic onto your network - at least it shouldn't!!! You need to set up port forwarding to allow connections through your router to the Pico port 80 (HTTP port). Once you do that you can access the Pico on your home IP address (you'll find this in your router settings but note it can change over time unless you've got a static IP address).

@@BytesNBits I'm hoping you may expand this Pico WiFi tutorial to include a wifi manager. I'd like to be able to use my robot car projects on other networks without recoding each time. Your detailed, clear method of instruction would be beneficial.
