From the project
Kit educativo para aprender a programar en Micropython
pyTrainer es un completo kit educativo diseñado para aquellos que desean introducirse en el apasionante mundo del aprendizaje de Micropython.
Ha sido creado teniendo como objetivo la sencillez y la economía, ya que puede ser replicado y construido por estudiantes o aficionados empleando técnicas caseras.
Está formado por una placa principal llamada pyTrainer BASIC, módulos de sensores y actuadores para interactuar con el mundo real y piezas impresas en 3D para montar las placas y crear distintas estructuras.

PyTrainer: common questions
What microcontroller does the PyTrainer use?
The PyTrainer is built around the WEMOS D1 MINI, from the ESP8266 family.
How big is the PyTrainer PCB?
The PyTrainer measures 110 × 50 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the PyTrainer?
44 components, from 34 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the PyTrainer design files?
From the profetolocka/pyTrainer repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the PyTrainer design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which profetolocka chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the PyTrainer without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP8266 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
